The article does not specifically discuss the impact on la Zona Norte, but there's a real impact. Like the vendor in Tijuana they mention, for HK management and chicas a like, this feels to them like the dollar is being de-capitalized. (The rise in the peso is probably great news for most mexicans, just not for those that accept dollars for services, like in TJ and la ZN.)
Also in the news today was this:

So, this sucks, and it doesn't seem like this trend will abate soon. My advice would be to plan a visit soon because waiting even a month or two might mean more expensive fichas, arribas, rooms, etc.
