Is it safe to travel to Mexico?
Despite tales of drug violence, visitation to Mexico was up almost 19% over last year, as of September. And with 22.6 million tourists expected by
year's end, numbers will about equal the record-breaking totals in 2008. About 80% of visitors are North American.

C'mon, Deno....it's a real estate blog. Just like everyone else, they have their self-serving point of view. If you put that article on Maggies blog,
facts would stone it to death in minutes.

There are only two variables in the equation. It's safe and it isn't safe. Those who comment on this pick one side or the other seeing no gray zone.
Actually, it's both. It can be safe in my neighborhood while, two blocks away it can be a war zone.
Why do people have to take one choice or the other and conclude, that's the way the whole place is?

It's safe here except for the bottomless potholes. Nobody ever writes about those things, but they are really getting bad.
They'll give them the temporary fix by filling them with dirt....then they go home and see the weather report calls for rain the same night.

OK. I'll bite. Transition from the toll road on to 2000? Last few times, we've gone up through Guadalupe to Tecate, so I have no recent reference
point.
My gut has always told me that they just wouldn't build, or open such a transition unless they moved the South Rosarito toll booths to a point South
of the 2000 junction, or actually built an auxilliary toll booth on the transition. You're looking at a considerable loss of revenue if you allow N/B
traffic to just turn off at 2000 before the Sout Rosarito toll.

I was nearby clam shopping this morning and the pavement at that intersection (free road north and blvd. 2000) is really bad. I think some of the
roadside shops need to go to fix it.
They are putting a nice top-coat of asphalt on the main drag (Benito Juarez) running through Rosarito though- so the public works machines are out
working somewhere at least.
