THANK YOU!!!!
[suggestion to Mexican Govt re attracting gringo residents]:

"Rethink the emphasis of real estate development projects with golf courses as a key amenity, or at a minimum, require reclaimed water use for golf courses.
a. Golf is not the primary reason why U.S. retirees travel to Mexican coastal communities.
b. Among residents surveyed, more U.S. retirees preferred bird watching than playing golf."

Take it step further - develop wildlife corridors, preserve species with habitat protections.

Golf courses? We don't need any more golf courses. They're terrible waste of real estate, water, and other resources.

Golf courses down here are for the rich! How about an old fashioned Municipal course for the people. I think they would get more use and get kids into a fun and relaxing sport. How about one in La Paz?! Fore!
