I found this on the website of a Mexican author and it is truly the tragedy of Mexico little investment in job creation much more in housing that is rarely used and is mostly to show off.

Nuevo Chupicuaro Nuevo Chupicuaro: Bonifacio Caballero left Nuevo Chupicuaro in the mid-1960s to work in the fields of California. He returned home a short while later to build the village's first two-story house. Before too long, the rest of his friends and neighbors, emigrants all, were building the same. Bonifacio Caballero, along with most of Nuevo Chupicuaro, spent a lifetime working in a foreign land, always planning one day to return home. They created the American Dream not in the U.S., but in their Mexican village. Across emigrant Mexico the story is the same. Villages have been developed with two-storey homes of marble floors, satellite dishes, and two-car garages. Yet they are occupied only in December or January. The rest of the year hundreds of thousands of these handsome houses stand vacant across Mexico, as their owners landscape yards in Orange County, run valet parking in Chicago, and pick tobacco in North Carolina. The story of how one village came to be that way.
