Great article.... Now those are the kind of numbers that might just have an effect. The weapons of economics are the most powerful. Continue the
boycott, maybe they will actually get some results..... Now that would be a first for Mexico..... to actually be responsive the tourist
complaints.

That same story was in NC's News and observer 2nd page of the front section.
This is bound to have a big impact on visitor numbers

Naive and/or wishful on your part.
50,000 of North Carolina residents were planning on going to Baja prior to the article. I understand it is now up 250,000.

I get RSS news feed and this story is spreading like wildfire...even tiny papers are carrying the story. I have had many friends that know I am
retiring to Baja Call me with a warning...some as far away as Alaska and Georgia. Some of my relatives have called other relatives to talk some sense
into me...too funny.
Baja tourism and real estate sales has been crushed.
I just hope realtors, and developers, can hang on a few(many) years until Mexico can get it's act together. I am sorry for the porperty owners for
sure
Sure there will be a few Nomads willing to go to Baja, so we need to really watch out as the cops are going to be real hungry, and as the say in Baja

Al,
The people who bought their property to live on won´t be hurt.
The ones hurt will be those speculators who are the reason for the outragious prices to begin with.
Just a thought from one who believes that a home should not be an investment or a tax refuge.... but a place to live.... you know, a home.

Boy, me too. I'd hate to see the developers take it in the shorts. The guys responsible for the oceanfront high rises, the San Jose marina, Cabo, La
Ribera, Loreto Bay? Man, that would sting.

The article clearly distinguished the problems in Northern Baja/TJ from the southern area. Without advance deposits a lot of underfinanced
developments will grind to a halt. Many americans buyers in Rosarito are shocked to find out there are no requirements for a "completion bond". How
many years did we drive by those Calafia towers before they got finsihed?

Anybody who doesn't cross the border @ Otay Mesa is basically asking to get P-nched by the crooked cops. Stay away from La Gloria @ all cost. I always
take the cops picture with a cell phone real quick when they come to my truck and hand the phone to my wife. I tell the cop when my wife sees my
signal, she will send the picture to the local Sindictura who I already gave $$$ to. I then tell the cop If the sindictura hangs your ass and can
prove it to me he gets triple the $$$ I gave him. They always rant & rave, but they back off, works like a champ!!!
