I'm with you on that one Woody. That would maybe be my best change-- no new paved roads:lol:

My favorite thing to do down here is go on obscure roads into the mountains. The road to San Javier is being paved now, and they say they will finish it-- all the way. As I understand from people up there that I've talked with about half of the residents are happy about it, and half would prefer it stay as it is. I think that road will be more dangerous with people traveling faster, and the surface falling into disrepair. And the town will certainly change. But I can see how many of the people, especially those who drive into Loreto for work, will benefit from faster travel.
I'd like to see Mex 1 improved, as it is a danerous drive, but I love the mystery of a good bad road, and the reward of a remote place at the end.

I'd like to see the drug traffic give up on the Baja border and go through the mainland only.:lol:

Whoa. Imagine if immigrants to USA said we can't affect our lives and negotiate change? Mexico is no different. Now, why do we keep having this agrument? Mexico is like all nations, made up of various minded people, various backgrounds who through their individual and group efforts make it what it is. The idea that one should sit back and let others do the work is absurd, proven to be a self-defeating position and has no validity so let's drop it as a discussion point. Everyone here who lives in Baja has a role and their involvement is huge, by their contribution and example. Stop making excuses and get to the hard part and start getting involved.

Why do you not understand that we are without the rights of a Mexican National and if we interfere in the political process we put our status in Mexico in jeopardy, We can make police reports as you suggest but I can't think of anything else other than Living in a Colonus like Comitan you can hold a position on the board, with a letter explaining to Immigration that it is a non paying position. You can also help with children s programs, and Pet programs which a lot of gringoes are doing so don't say the gringoes don't do anything.
