Dangerous
Mexico as a whole listed as second most dangerous country in the world behind Sierra--they said N Baja was the third most dangerous staet--Guess they
have not been to Chicago or S/w Los Angeles lately??

"President Donald Trump on Thursday evening tweeted that "Mexico was just ranked the second deadliest country in the world, after only Syria. Drug
trade is largely the cause. We will BUILD THE WALL!"

What a shame. Mexico certainly needs the tourist bucks.

Not sure this will affect tourism much, but for sure it won't help. Mexico had record high tourism this past December.
monthly numbers:
"Tourist Arrivals in Mexico averaged 605.38 Thousand from 1960 until 2017, reaching an all time high of 2496.24 Thousand in December of 2016 and a
record low of 56.59 Thousand in May of 1962."

Perception is everything, often overwhelming any reported "facts" or stats. Many simply don't except anymore anything put out there as a
"Fact"------I know I don't.

Oh Chuckie, with all due respect...stuff it...these posts on the dangers of Baja are endlessly posted here but ya know what...I get weary responding
to them every time and prefer to dwell on the positive.
OK, granted, we are fortunate to live in a rural area with very few problems so dont have to deal with Narco crimes and are mostly unaffected by
it...except for the decrease in tourism. We our proud of our safe village and strive to keep it that way.
Yeah of course the world is changing everywhere and life is dangerous...property values decrease....whatever. I accept that but cant do much about it
more than stay away from the dangerous areas and just say no to crack...jajajaja... 
Now do you want to hear about the 20 kilo yellowtail Juan caught an hour ago?

Shari, talk is cheap, we want pictures of that Yellowtail!
Please don't post a picture of one that's a few years old. 
How about a picture of that 20KG Halibut I caught with Juan?
Oh oh, am I being negative about Baja?

20 Kg. halibut?
That is just about Alaska size.
BTW (The surprise statistic is how many people are turning up dead in what I thought was a sleepy little town of San Quintin...with apologies to
Bajagringo)

Number are funny things, St. Louis is the worst city in the USA and 14 in the world by homicides per 100,000.
A list of cities by murder rate, Chicago was not even in the top 50. Acapulco was number 2.
Take a look at the list here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_murder_rate
Not sure how the number relate to my safety in Mexico or the USA? I feel I would not want to travel to Chicago from what I have been hearing about
Chicago in the news.
