Well, just another chapter in "Life in Rosarito Beach".

San Antonio del Mar and Punta Banda are still the best examples of local land fraud. For many Nomads, these two events are too long ago, but there are lessons to be learned. Clearly, Sr. Gutierrez seems to be pushing the rules to get what he wants.

What lessons? Tell us what lessons you're talking about.

Don't know about San Antonio, but Punta Banda, by all accounts, was the perfect storm of Mexican inattention to the details of law and the classic gringo habit of checking your brains at the border.

When does the panic selling start?

Famous cases. Purchase of Ejido land and subsequent court decision voiding sales left many owners with out their homes.

Correct Iflyfish.

Specifically, the development of del Mar north of Rosarito has always been "one of those places" where the educated American buyer would raise an eyebrow regarding the "ownership" of the land. For years, those of who are experienced owners (for me over 20 years) of property properly recorded with Mexico City have slyly smiled to each other and shook their heads at the "brilliant" American buyers who boasted that they got a real (low cost) deal in del Mar. This may be the time for those crafty people have to pay the piper.

Then again, maybe fighting in Mexican courts against Mexican developers is what some people think is a good idea and good source of fun.

Time and the Mexican courts will tell.:no::no::no::no:
