Mr. Beat compares and contrasts two border cities that meet at the Mexico-United States border. One has a reputation for being one of the safest cities in the United States. The other has a reputation for being one of the most dangerous cities in the world.

San Diego and Tijuana
Two sister cities separated by a heavily protected international border between the United States and Mexico.
It’s illegal to cross over that fence. If you want to go back and forth between the two cities, which hundreds of thousands of people do every day, you must go through one of three checkpoints. The largest of these checkpoints, the San Ysidro Port of Entry, is the busiest land border crossing in the Western Hemisphere and second busiest international land border crossing in the world.
The San Diego-Tijuana metropolitan area is the largest metropolitan area along that U.S.-Mexican border. While both San Diego and Tijuana are known for their stark differences, they probably have more in common than you think. And who knows, maybe if that giant fence wasn’t there, they WOULD have more in common.

You should compare two other border cities:
El Paso and Ciudad Juarez.
Heck yeah
As an el paso resident I think that is a great idea. I would love to see my city and our sister city get some recognition.
Or for the other border: Detroit and Windsor
Yes do it
Calexico and Mexicali, literally have the same name but reversed.
As someone who lives between San Diego and LA, San Diego is extremely underrated
Yess! - from a San Diegan!
San Diego is better
I was born and raised in San Diego and totally agree!
America’s most beautiful city, I’ve never heard anyone doubt that 😎
I agree, nobody really talks about san Diego
Fun fact: The city of Tijuana is actually closer to Canada than to its capital, Mexico City.
Not much surprise. Mexico is huge
@P R little american, learn geography then come back.
wtfff
@@Nonamelol. stfu
Now that’s a fun fact
Fun fact: there are many radio stations in Tijuana that are targeted towards San Diego listeners. For instance, XETRA-FM is an English language alternative rock station that must abide by Mexican radio regulations. Like, they have to give their station ID in Spanish every half hour, and in the early morning and at midnight, they're required to play the Mexican national anthem.
The Mighty 1090!
Thanks for mentioning this, I was going to share the same thing, also back in the day when TV channels where analog you could see Fox, CW, NBC, KPBS and few others in TJ.
Yes! 91X! You can hear it deep into OC and sometimes LA too
91X is such a great station!
I'm from TJ and 91X is my favorite radio station, and it's so odd hearing them play mexican political ads in english lol
I’m surprised you didn’t mention that Tijuana airport has an entrance that stretches across the us border into San Diego, so the 2 cities share an airport
You know what? I was going to mention that but totally forgot about it!
That's a really good one!!!
They say you can get much cheaper flights leaving from Mexico.
@@ab9840 depends where you're going. When I'm flying internationally, it's cheaper to drive up to L.A. from TJ.
That statement is untrue.
The airport does not cross the border
When I worked at the Safari Park/Zoo my old supervisor said "the only way to pay rent in San Diego on this salary, is to commute from Tijuana." The difference of housing is so exorbitant that he was unfortunately not the only person who would make the multi-hour wait time and inspection through customs everyday
It's the truth!
@@iammrbeat I used to teach near San Ysidro about two exits north of the border and a good portion of my students lived in TJ and woke up at 4/5am to go to school because rent was SO MUCH cheaper. Poor kiddos :(
Unfortunately, landlords are very much aware of this and the prices for people that work and live in TJ are just insane, we can't afford any homes anymore because of this.
@Asphincter says what? It's definitely not always about the money. I've had kids who had a parent deported and their family was stuck with the choice of living together in TJ and waking up very early & getting home very late to keep going to school in the US vs stay living in the US during the week and going back to TJ on weekends. A good amount go to the doctor/dentist/vet in TJ because it's just so much cheaper too. Some adults also just like TJ better.
I hear that! I have several friends who have the Sentri Pass which luckily helps a lot with the border wait.
US: all houses display small American flags
Mexico: all cities display one huge Mexican flag downtown.
True, in mexico is more like goverment pride we regular citizens don't have flags
@@rodrigoe.gordillo2617 San Diego is also a navy town so a lot of active/retired servicemen/women live there
It ends up getting the same amount of flag, just differently distributed
@@nemesis962074 LOL exactly although Mexico probably has the upper hand when it comes to the most efficient flag-distributing strategy 😁
@@CB0408 in this we can see the expression of central planning vs individual action haha

Where exactly is the border between North Cal and South Cal, though?
@@iammrbeat good point. There is no official border.. lol I guess the half way point from SF to LA would be the end of Highway 1 in San Luis Obispo.

To be fair, I just learned it all a couple weeks ago. :)

It would be great if you compare the city of Montevideo in Uruguay and Buenos Aires in Argentina.
Great suggestion!
It’s really sad that some people have to go to the extremes of getting an apartment in TJ and commuting to work every day in San Diego. It’s quite insane if you think about it.
I used to commute every morning from Tijuana to San Diego just to go to school... hour long lines everyday

Tijuana is soo underrated. It has a bad rep that is unfair to it.

@@iammrbeat Tijuana has earned that bad reputation.

@@uriel4274 en inglés la traducción más apropiada sería protest
An important mention is that the rents here in TJ, though cheaper than in SD, are mostly inaccessible to our own residents. Most landlords tend to charge overpriced rents in dollars (when the mexican currency is peso) because the market is hugely inflated. This is in part because of the americans who come to live here and can actually afford those prices and the charge in dollars.
landlords are morons..... i used to rent my house last year for 150 dollars per month just to help people, that was about 3,000 pesos
Mexicans can"t pay high rent with their wages. they cant compare their pesos with dollars. Landlords are getting as much as they can. that does not make them morons
@@beautifulrose8619 The same has happened in the USA. With millions of immigrants who arrived, only Mexicans and Mexican-Americans have at least 38 to 55 million !! We also help inflate the price of the house in the USA
@@realrokr3284 The same has happened in the USA. With millions of immigrants who arrived, only Mexicans and Mexican-Americans have at least 38 to 55 million !! We also help inflate the price of the house in the USA
its mostly do to a terrible mexican economic presence (or should i say absence) in TJ. the town is basically abandoned by mexico. very very sad place.
Mr beat, I'm glad you are comparing a Mexican city. I am Mexican but I really enjoy watching American history videos and I especially like to watch yours.
Edit: Grammar error
Where in Mexico are you from?

¿Y en que parte de TJ vivías?
@@karolinaavalos405 Colonia Aeropuerto xD
As a San Diego resident, I can say that the metro stops are just barely too far away from places you would want to go.
Its stops in downtown and old town, also less than a block from gaslamp and the convention center, and about 2-3 blocks from petco park.
Balboa park is far only because a tram line in a park would ruin it
Honestly not sure what you are talking about
It's pretty bad if you want to go to the airport, beaches, or anywhere outside downtown.
They did that on purpose. Trolley does not go to places like La Jolla or Solana Beach. They don’t want hobos near them.
San Diego Trolley is pretty good if you can combine it with local bus or Uber. It will take years for infrastructure/ sites to slowly migrate toward trolly stations. Totally depends
I’m on a ad and I already know this will be good

@P R all of California sucks
@P R San Diego is beautiful, the people are beautiful and very nice, laid back atmosphere, so much cleaner than LA and basically perfect weather. You're entitled to your opinion of course but seriously, what don't you like about it? (aside from the COL)
@@freecreditreport.combaby Tired and stale opinion. California is a huge state and there are both really shitty and really amazing places there. Cost of living is very high but IMO it is more worth it to live there than New York, New Jersey, DC, and most other high cost of living areas (for reference I've never lived in California just visited many times)
@P R I don't at all agree but I understand your POV hahaha. I've never been to Hawaii but I assume it's pretty different from the mainland US. I'm from New England (and go to college right out of NYC) and I can deal with Boston people somewhat, but I often find people from NYC, Jersey, Philly, DC, Maryland to be very intense. LOL. Im sure they probably feel the same about Boston people though. But yeah, I understand the appeal of the east coast however I like the more laid back attitude of western states and cities and would like to live somewhere out west someday

Excellent video! I was born and raised in San Diego County and have traveled across the border countless times. In addition to everything you mentioned, some other fun things to do in the Tijuana metropolitan area would include Rosarito Beach, Bajamar Resort, Calente Casino, Estadio Calente (which is home to the Xolos, the pro soccer team in TJ), The Guadalupe Valley wine region, and Puerto Nuevo lobster. Other fun things to do in the San Diego metropolitan area would include sport fishing out of Pt. Loma, Legoland, SeaWorld, Belmont Park, Del Mar Race Track, La Jolla Cove, and Julian's apple and wine country. Best of all, both cities have the best taco shop food you will ever have, anywhere. One drawback of both cities is the mass transit systems are severely lacking. San Diego's is getting better, but they still have a lot of work to do to be as good as most other big cities.
Yes yes 😊 just left a comment similar to yours, I was born in Tijuana and loved the city now I live and San Diego and love it here, you never round out of things to do, well since the pandemic started everything was closed but it's opening up again and liberty station was the first place I went to eat. We are truly lucky to know this area.
4 of the 6 places you mentioned to visit in TJ are not in TJ. Rosarito Beach is in Rosarito; Guadalupe Vally is in Ensenada; Bajamar Resort is in Ensenada; Puerto Nuevo lobster is in Puerto Nuevo. Julian isn’t anywhere near the SD metro area, as well. Don’t get me wrong, all the places you listed are worth visiting, but for someone not familiar with the geography of the area, it’s rather misleading to say these places are in the metro areas of San Diego and Tijuana, as they are all considerable drives from the metro areas of both cities.
@@stevegutrot2476 Thanks for the response. I don't think it's misleading at all. While, I agree that these places are not in the cities of Tijuana or San Diego, they are in the metropolitan areas of Tijuana and San Diego. If someone comes to visit either city, they are missing out on a lot of great stuff if they only remain in the city limits.
@@sailuna9195 Liberty Station is a beautiful addition to San Diego. I love what they have done with that area :)
@@ZacharyRiggs619 all the things you said about Tijuana aren't even in the same City.
Hi Matt. I'm a mexican subscriber. I really enjoyed your video. You should compare Nogales, Arizona & Nogales, Sonora
God I fucking hate Nogales Sonora. All my family left that shit hole thank God.
Gracias! Are you from that area?
@@iammrbeat I'm too from that general area, a bit south. Sorry beforehand for my use of colorful language but that city experienced a great decline within the last 40 years.
Long story short, older generations of residents were forced to leave their homes due to the rising crime, and poor urban planning.
Still not as dramatic as the exodus of Ciudad Juárez, where as many as 160 thousand residents left for either El Paso or the state's capital Chihuahua, leaving at least 100k homes abandoned in the process.
Watching this while waiting to cross from Tijuana to San Diego. 😊
Woahness 😳
Tijuana necesita un proyecto de movilidad urbana urgentemente, metro, tren ligero o brt, pero la corrupción es más grande 😖

Tijuana! The most english speaking mexican city, I think it is a great city if you want to practice your english skills and if you have legal documentation you can take advantage of both languages.
Tijuana has the best tacos in México which make them the best tacos in the world. Appart from tacos, Tijuana is a foodies paradise. A lot of great fancy and not so fancy restaurants.

This was an unexpected video. I didn't think anyone would care about my two cities enough to make a video.
You should have mentioned that "Caesar's Salad" originated at the Tijuana restaurant of that name, and the Margarita cocktail (Spanish for "Daisy") probably began in TJ too. Sinaloa, on the Pacific Coast, is famous for Tequila.
Also, San Diego is much more famous for burritos than tacos. The California Burrito, which features French fried potatoes, originated in the San Ysidro part of San Diego.
Tequila is from Jalisco, not Sinaloa. As for California burritos, I've always heard they originated in San Francisco.
@@miguelruelas8967 You are right about Jalisco, but either way, it is obvious how tequila could have made its way up to Tijuana, and then get mixed with triple sec, lime juice, syrup and ice, and get served to a thirsty Californian. One story places the origin in a restaurant between Tijuana and Rosarito Beach in 1938.
Roberto's, which started in San Ysidro in 1963, claims they invented the California burrito; they are definitely a popular local chain. The real idea behind the California burrito is that the hot potatoes make the burrito more filling for early morning appetites, particularly the appetites of surfers. San Diego is more popular than San Francisco among surfers, obviously. Here is one of many articles claiming San Diego as the origin for the California burrito.
www.gosandiego.com/blog/california-burrito-its-a-cali-thingmore-like-a-san-diego-thing/
Here's an article about the difference between the San Francisco "Mission" burrito -- the inspiration for Chipotle -- and the San Diego burrito tradition.

Mr.Beat talks about Tijuana attractions, but never mentions it's most infamous attraction, the donkey show.
The donkey show hasnt been around since like the 2000s.
I'm from Chula Vista, CA. It's a neighborhood in San Diego and believe me when I say that Tijuana is amazing! Great food, shopping and people! I highly recommend that you visit this city at least once in your life. 😁
Chula Vista is a city part of San Diego county but it’s not part of the city of San Diego.
But what about Massachusetts and Connecticut compared
Don't worry. It's coming in June.
You should compare 2 metropolitan areas in Mexico that are pretty big and both kinda equal
Guadalajara and Monterrey
Both metropolitan areas have around 5 million people and are the 2nd and 3rd largest respectively in all Mexico, these city's make sense to compare them since they're quite similar in size and Mexico city is too big for the rest of the city's in Mexico
Fantastic suggestion!
Thank you, Mr. BEAT!
I lived in San Diego but had to move to Tijuana. I love both of them so thank you for making this video
@Daniel Martinez no I just used to live in tj but now I live in San Diego
Great video! My suggestions for other comparisons would be Madrid and Barcelona, Moscow and St. Petersburg, Kuala Lumpur and Singapur, Warsaw and Berlin or Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
Fantastic list there. Thank you!
@@iammrbeat Hey, Mr. Beat. How about you compare Edinburgh and Glasgow in Scotland?
honestly at this point you could put out a video called my two nuts compared and i would watch and like :P
Peanuts and Cashews Compared
As someone from San Diego, I am super happy Matt finally showcased my hometown. Great stuff 👍
I'd like to add, although it Tijuana is indeed cheaper than San Diego, you get paid a lot less, so making for a living in Tijuana is very comparable to San Diego.
The sweetspot is living in Tijuana and working in San Diego, which a lot of people in Tijuana do.
This was way more in-depth than I expected, lots of history.
I was born in Tijuana, but I've lived in San Diego my whole life. When I was younger, me and my father would have to go through the Mexican border control whenever we went to visit my mother.
Gotta say Mr. Beat- your videos are fantastic!! Loved your Vancouver and Seattle comparison!
Thanks man always your AUDIO...perfect
Other border city suggestions:
El Paso/Ciudad Juarez
Brownsville/Matamoros
Laredo/Nuevo Laredo
Kinshasa and Braazaville (Republic of Congo and Democratic republic of Congo)
Can I recommend doing a comparison vid on Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas?
Yeah, I really do like this idea. Many of suggested it.
I'm watching this video from Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego after spending 8 days in Tijuana. I had a blast at the Hong Kong gentlemens club and the Adelita bar. I also had fun with the girls outside.
Living San Diego is so special. Its like living in two worlds if you go back and fort with TJ. Extremely hard to live in any other place once lived in SD.
Definitely, moving away to the south ten years ago was so hard for me specially when seeing how advanced the sister cities are, I guess you don’t realize the privilege until you loose it
Love these vids! I'll be visiting my aunt in San Diego next month, so I'll be sure to bring my passport!
Have a grand time!
You should make one about Monterey vs Tijuana.
Or Monterrey v. San Antonio
Damn! What a good study. I'll start follow the channel.
¡Saludos desde Tj!
You should do a video comparing El Paso, Texas and Juárez City. I love your videos, man.
I was so interested in this fascinating comparison of these astounding cities...
and then I heard Tiyouahna...
Teewana
Good video Mr. Beat. I was wondering when there would be a San Diego-related video.
Incredibly, I have yet to visit!
@@iammrbeat Being a geographer, it's a city I've enjoyed researching about. I've been to Los Angeles, but not San Diego yet. San Diego, from a geographic perspective, is quite interesting,.
I know you lol
Hey Mr Beat! Just a heads up, I noticed in your ad break you’re using an Audio Technica microphone that has its diaphragm facing the side while you have the top of the microphone facing your mouth. I mainly bring this up bc throughout the video the audio noticeably fluctuates when you stray more towards the side with the diaphragm. Hope this helps!
Do Laredo and nuevo Laredo next please
Sorry dude, but Tijuana has the best tacos anywhere, not mentioning one of the best cities in gastronomy generally, did you know Caesar salad was invented in Tijuana?
Actually the best tacos are in México City, Cheers!
@@HeyTonyLoquilloTrillo I been in Mexico City, and still Tijuana tacos are better haha sorry my friend
@@rodoglez1 No, Mexico City
tj tacos wayy better lol and i always go to mexico city to visit family, they definitely close but tj wins the tacos for me
Tijuana have the best tacos
There is no "a" between "ti" and "juana." So it is pronounced with 3 syllables rather than 4.
2 a’s not three
I always had more fun in TJ, I’ve crossed that boarder hundreds of times, I finally decided to stay in mexico, more freedom.
Well the tens of millions of Mexicans that came to the US would strongly disagree lol.
Love your info
San Diego/Tijuana is like a modern day Berlin.
And for a good reason
But for 2000 miles
@@ZeRo-bx7lp
Disagree, you will be hard pressed not to find Mexicans and Mexicans Americans in San Diego. I spent a whole week without speaking any english in San Diego, everyone is either latino or knows spanish.
@@band1609 yeah, cause there is a 2000 mile long city
Not at all Tijuana and San Diego are sister cities .people go back and forth between the cities !!
Were you ever thinking about doing a video on the party switch? Love your videos!
Yeah, but other channels have already made great videos about it. Mine would probably just attempt to simplify it further.
The party switch never happen, everyone knows that the Republicans support BLM and women's rights and labor unions while the Democrats control th south and get their support from racist christians
Tips fedora, waits for people to miss the sarcasm
Most videos and articles have seen on it do oversimplify it. Either saying that the modern democrats were the historic republicans and vice versa or saying a switch never happened. Neither is entirely true. It is more nuanced and complicated, not all issues are created equal, not all shifted at the same time or same way.
Hi, I really like your videos. Thanks
Thanks Mr. Beat! I really enjoyed this video comparison. I always wondered what it would be like to live in San Diego. :-) I learned so much.
I absolutely love San Diego. Have been 3 times for comic con and I always go before it starts so I can enjoy the city before nerdvana begins. Would love to retire to San Diego one day. Hell I would love to live there right now
It's such a beautiful city.
Rent is $1500 for a 1 bedroom apartment
@@TacoJesusLives even a decent roommate is expensive! Many adults still have roommates even after buying a home in order to pay the mortgage.
@@iammrbeat yes it is. One the last day of comic con, I always take a boat over to Coronado and just enjoy the beach and the beautiful view of the skyline
@@TacoJesusLives that’s just painful. Went on a trolley tour the first time I came to the city and they talked about how a small home in Coronado with like 2 bedrooms was 6 figures. I almost fell off the trolley
Am I the only one that kept hearing “tiajuana”?
Nah, I heard that too, I cringed. Apparently, some folks somehow add the "a" and couldn't pronounce Tijuana it w/o it.
I don't remember if you compared two cities from different bordering countries before this one. I think you might have done one for Vancouver in Seattle but if not that might be an interesting one.
Would Buffalo and Toronto be a good one or maybe another comparison of border cities in the US and Mexico might be cool?
I’m from Vista, CA. (A part of San Diego County) Great video!
Another comment: there were Franciscan and Dominican missions built close the Tijuana prior to 1769, when San Diego was founded.
Tijuana has a lot more skyscrapers these days than 10 years ago. I like that it is growing vertically. I am glad the two cities are so different, that is what makes it fun.
Another great video!!
Awesome video bro, cheers from Mexicali!
Cheers from Phoenix !
Video Idea: Presidents Favorite music genres or subgenres
Oh I love it!
@@iammrbeat Just finished watching the video and it was informative 👍
