I hope we can remain on topic, and detach ourselves from the runaway thread of a derailed train! My wife and I will be heading down to Todos Santos in
just over 2 weeks. We've been visiting since 2013, but having finally retired, we're seriously thinking of buying a property in Baja to escape the New
England winters. I'd be lying if I said that current events didn't make me a bit hesitant. |
Take it deeper, Paul.
Buying will be on the burner as you ''rent'' and look around. You might not find property you want to buy in the short time you're on vacation down
there.
My advice: find a place to rent, drive down, and see how that plays out. A few Winter months in Pesky might show you what you're hesitating
about.
Doubt the locals in Todos worry about a US invasion. |
Lee - I agree about taking it deeper. Even though this 2-week trip is our longest yet, it's still not enough time to assess the vibe, particularly if
we want to compare Pescadero to downtown Todos Santos, el Otro Lado, etc. Our goal for this trip is to determine whether or not we still love the area
after being away for 3 years. If all goes well, our next trip will be longer, and we might just bring the pooch as well.

If this happens I believe the cartels will then target Americans in Mexico !

Let's hear your opinions |
33% of USA would be appalled if Trump attacked Mexico. 33% of USA would be happy if Trump attacked any foreign country and bombed them back into the
stone age. 33% of USA doesn’t care about anything.
Trump and Hegseth will gleefully drop bombs from 40,000 feet on most any ethnic-looking nefarious actor,… until the day their intelligence
mistakenly wipes out children or USA citizens, after which they will deny and/or blame deep state libs in the intelligence agencies.
Woke!
Hands off!

Which is a different topic from how they would react were the U.S. to actually attack.
Mexicans are gratifyingly tolerant to Gringos impacting their communities, but their patience has limits.
"I can normally tell how intelligent a man is, by how stupid he thinks I
am."
"...they were careful of their demeanor that they not be thought to have opinions on what they heard for like most men skilled at their work they
were scornful of any least suggestion of knowing anything not learned at first hand."

I can't see Mexicans attacking their American ex-pat neighbors, as the average Mexican isn't the sort of person who does things like that. They also
know that plenty of American expats are just as horrified by Trump as they are.
But if this US adminstratíon were to invade Mexico, drop bombs, etc. I can certainly see Mexico closing immigration to Americans, not letting
American commercial airlines enter Mexican airspace or land here, etc.
And is the US administration really so ignorant as to think cartels members all live and hang out in some giant clubhouses? Cartel members live in
regular homes in regular neighborhoods. Are they planning to terrorize Mexican communities with ICE-type invasions?
