Did Slim buy Pancho's place?
El Paraiso Perdido.
Scroll down to the part "Lost Paradise", #9 San Rafael. Considering that the article is 6 years old, way before Pancho died, this is a bit odd.
I also like #8 located "North of Las Animas and bordering with San Rafael in the South" 
The Bay of LA is described as "seas calm and tranquil due to 15 islands". Yeah, sure ...

Thanks for the link... They say they have their eyes on many tracks of land for future development.
This one is the area of a beautiful beach I call Shell Island, a camping paradise for my friends and I since 1978. It has been a great 40 years going
there!:
The land where the megaproject is intended is also known as Campo Santa María, Ejido Delicias or Percebú and is part of the Agrarian
National Plan Ejido, within the Municipality of Ensenada, although it announces that it will economically benefit the Mexican town of San Felipe,
which It is located 28 kilometers north of the project.

Pancho told me that Slim tried to buy his place but he wouldn't sell.

Pancho's place sits in the federal zone and Aldo Santini owns the land right up to it, so far Carlos hasn't been able to snatch it up

Just that they bought up the left coast to save it from development.

Ok, maybe it wasn't Pancho's place. "San Rafael" is a very general description, there is a rancho half a mile North, and (probably) half a dozen
miles of emptiness North of rancho could be called San Rafael too.
I am still puzzled about #8: 30 km NORTH of Las Animas, bordering San Rafael to the South. Huh? 30 km from this bay would place it somewhere at BOLA
military base, and I can't imagine how it can border San Rafael. Unless he bought a piece of inland desert ...

why wouldn't he, his only concern is mining.

Pancho didn't own that place, he was a squatter there. A great steward, but a squatter nonetheless.

Carlos slim pickens and christine silver-spoon walton are competing with each other to see who can buy up the most land in baja. they each got so much
money they are just playing with their pocket change
Whenever i hear about the wealth of the waltons i marvel at how they pay their emplyees so little that most are on food stamps - waltons getting
wealthy while taxpayers pay a substantial portion of the walton emplyees’ living expenses- taxpayer subsidies for the uber wealthy, capitalism at
its finest!
Woke!
