People in San Diego used to treat Tijuana like part of the city, just split by a border is all.

And I have family that still visits there, but it is much more dangerous than it used to be. 30 years ago it was basically "don't drive a brand new vehicle and be polite" and now it's all sorts of things including knowing which highways to avoid, how to stay away from parts of town that may have drug lord activity, etc. There was almost an unwritten rule years ago that you don't mess with normal people or tourists; that rule has been significantly broken.

And the border waits are much more annoying, too; the people who do still cross now have to wait much longer, even with Sentri.
