Why does Mexico City have a bad reputation?

Is Mexico really that Big?
Mexico is very big. Especially if you come from somewhere like the U.K as we do. Granted, compared to its larger neighbours the U.S.A and Canada it’s a fair amount smaller. Which is probably where this misconception about Mexico comes from. But just because it pales in comparison to these huge countries, that doesn’t mean it’s not very big.
