Yes, BerryMex has expanded further west as well as south since these photos, having built a new reservoir to help support their expansion. Another
desal unit is getting started as well to help fill the new reservoir and support their continued expansion.
Personally, I too wish it could all just stay as it was but I guess this is better than a bunch of new neighborhoods being built. They are also doing
a fairly good job of maintaining the local roads out this way...

Yeah that's kind of how I see it too. The roads where in the best shape I've ever seen.
I hope Berrymex stops the spread of the ugly sprawl or at least slows it.
But there will be a need for workers that wasn't there before. I'm thinking Chapala will grow some. Hopefully it gets cleaned up a little.

This is what Chapala looks like as of this morning. Comparing with the pictures you posted there is some new expansion east and south. Not pictured is
all of their continuing expansion west towards the beach including another reservoir currently underway. They are also laying the groundwork to
install another desal unit that will feed that new reservoir...

I noticed mention of a desal plant over by "La Salina". Do you know if that is for BerryMex or is that a municipal project? Also I see a new power
line in the photo.
Maybe power out to my place soon.
This is all happening way quicker that I thought it would.
I use to say San Quintin is Newport Beach 100 years ago. Now it's more like Newport 50 years ago. So 50 years of developement occured in 10 years.
I don't see it slowing down.

The desal plant project of CESPE by the Salina is for providing drinking water to the municipal water system here in the valley. That is apart from
Berrymex's own plant...

The lack of a proven plan will doom these greenhouses too.

Mind blowing story. Sorry to hear of the waste to simple mismanagement.
Perhaps if they grew a crop in the abandoned green houses that when consumed increases one's appitite. Quite possibly it could eliminate the waste
problem, increase local employment and maybe even create tourism to the area.
It works for grapes.

None of you Jeff Sessions types are going to pick up on this and flame me for it?
What happened? You all got old and died off?
