I read this thread because I'm interested in the topic of development in Baja (things are happening at Bahia de Gonzaga also) and saw immediately that
Capt. Mike had posted a press release. I knew that it wasn't a sales pitch on the part of CM and I imagine most readers saw it that way.

"If an entity owns the land, it is their right to develop said property to the extent of local zoning and governing laws. It's also their right to ask
for zoning variances to build their development for the best available profit."
You hit the nail on the head: Nopolo is about greedy developers who don't give a damn about anything about their profit margin.

my guess its because "Anonymous" can't
come up with the scratch to buy a nice property in baja that he bemoans the fact that others can......like i said in the beginning....the market
rules, if you don't like a free market economy try out China, North Korea or Vietnam, also Cuba...they're the last bastions of gov't control and rule
over freedom of choice.

If one wanted to spend between $140,000 (the lowest price in Loreto Bay Town) and $1 million on a residence in Baja, there are plenty of places to
spend your money. You will also have the annual trust fee, the homeowner's fee, and any management fees if you're planning on renting it. All of the
improvements will not be completed overnight, and they're planning on building the most expensive homes first. You may as well buy something that is
already built, or have your own home built exclusive of any entanglements of someone else's management and promises. The whole thing just doesn't
make sense for someone who has $140,000 to spend. By the way, I own a home in San Diego and Lake Tahoe, two condos that I rent, and I have absolutely
no desire to build or own in Baja when I have the entire peninsula at my disposal for as long as I want, wherever I want, for the price of gasoline.

Capt. Mike. We do not know at this point in time if it is going to Happen. As you know I would like to see it happen so that it would help the People
of Loreto Not the Contractors.
There are a lot of people who only want to build a big Trophy House on the Water,get a Boat and take their friends and show them the beautiful Home
and Water.They then go back to the States or Canada and tell it to their friends. This happens all the time in our country. These people will never
know about another country or its people, If they can afford to take a chance and Risk their money so be it,but if this turns our to be a Scam I will
not spend much time feeling sorry as it is their risk.
It would be nice if we did not have so many Fraidy Cats and would Post their Names. Skeet/Loreto

hey anonymous....no problem here...sounds
like you made some good decisions for yourself if you have those places, good for you! me, i wouldn't spend that jack for a place either even if i had
it, but that's cause i like simpler things like trailers and palalpa style stuff. i say though if its made possible to buy by private enterprize and
people wamt it, its ok!
freedom of choice can't be regulated by emotions, the market must weigh the scales of supply and demand!
i would have a beer with you if it came to be, we both like baja, right?

Confused about "profiteering"
Anon. Doesn't bother me now with your "owning up" to being a property owner in Lake Tahoe area. Couple condo's, huh? How come you "own" property
there, enforcing the development mentality in one of the worlds "other" most beautiful places, that should never have been developed to start with.
But can "knock" developers who want to do the same thing down here? "for profit". If not for profit, why would anyone do anything regarding building
homes, communities, businesses. Do you support the "energy" consortiums, by buying gasoline, for your "driving to Baja"? Why not try walking down,
like David did with his burro? Since your statement about owning the condo's I have a different picture of who you are. Keep up the good work. I'm
sure somewhere along the line, you'll turn out to be human, if you "open your windows a little wider".

Phil, just a quick correction to your post. I don't think it was David who walked down Baja with a burro. I believe it was Graham. ...... "El
Mochilero"

Baja brain at work
Anon. Thanks for the correction. Your right. If I had bought the book I probably wouldn't have done that. It's on my list of books to read. Any one
read it???

Phil, get off your "burro" and check the book out. It's not quite as adventurous as his "Into A Desert Place", but adventurous, nonetheless. If you
have any interest in the missions, then it will be a plus for you...."El Mochilero"

Book reading
Anon. Great suggestion. Hard to lay down those Robert Ludlum books, though. Each year, I manage to get up to San Javier Mission out of Loreto at
least once. Love that walk through the gardens behind the church, and the old giant tree, that if "only could talk" of it's history. I've been
wanting to pick up a copy of Grahams books, but just haven't gotten around to it yet. But will!!!!

Phil S:
Many years ago there was a Huge Beehive attached to the Tower of the church at San Javier It was at least 3 feet in dia with Honey dripping out on the
ground below. I will try and find the pictures and show you when we meet.Some one around the Mission may have some pictures. It was the largest Honey
Bee Hive I have ever seen. Skeet/Loreto

Mission Honey Bee's
Thanks, Skeet. I'll ask around about it next time I go. If it's not there, and it's been a "pest", a fellow from McMinnville, Oregon called "honey
Jim" who lives at Rattlesnake Beach during the winter, might have removed it, and set it up down on the beach. Would love to see the pic's of that
one!!!!
