El macromural és ara part de l'essència de la colònia de Las Palmitas, un barri principalment rural, amb un cert grau d'endarreriment social i un índex de criminalitat alt que, a partir d'aquesta intervenció artística, ha aconseguit rehabilitar el seu espai i reforçar els lligams comunitaris.
But the "macro mural" has done much more than simply give some color to the hillside district of Las Palmitas, a predominantly rural neighborhood with a certain degree of poverty and crime. The collective effort has created jobs, reduced youth violence and instilled a sense of community spirit, turning Las Palmitas into what the project leaders have dubbed the "first magical neighborhood" — a play on the Mexican government’s separate initiative to promote “magical towns” (Pueblos Mágicos) as tourism destinations.
