Tijuana - Post Report Question and Answers
Would someone with physical disabilities have difficulties living in this city?
Yes. No public transportation. Uneven roads and sidewalks. Honestly, you could probably get a housing allowance to live on the US side as an accommodation and commute for work. Some people do that at post. Not sure how, but it is fairly common. - Oct 2024
