About extending the malecon...
The areas I was questioning were those that have a small beach with structures behind...in front of the oasis, and to a greater degree, the area just
north of the rio, and the area in front of Villas de Loreto and the large parcel with a house next door to it...also the trailer park/cottages just
south...the beach is pretty narrow there. It seems if a seawall was built it could have a detrimental impact on the sandy areas.
If I wanted to see the grand future Loreto plan for the malecon extension, and whatever else is envisioned, where would I find the plans for all of
this?

Now---thats funny, JR
Elizabeth---I don't know where the plans are. I only know what some of the Park Service people and some of the Mexican people told me. I think the
Malacon will be a walkway only and not paved all the way to Nopolo as a street---but I don't know for sure. I only know what I saw and that is that
they are widening the street along the existing Malacon and building the rocks up higher than before. In Loreto, if you don't see it personally, it
might not be true. JR, you do crack me up. ROTFLMAO.

Rising Costs
JR, the same thing is happening to my kids and many other middle class working Americans.....can't afford to buy a house and stay in the "old
neighborhood"....
My pension allows me to live in relative comfort here, in the states, fugedaboudit!

Us to George
We just saw it coming about 10 years ago. Most of our friends can barely survive up there and as far as kids going out on their own after high
school? I just don't get it !

Do We Get It?
I get some of it, for starters only 8 % of the working force in the U.S. is Union...
Less then before the great movement of the thirties....The "Robber Barons" are working hard at eliminating the middle class.....more for them. Look at
the disparity in wages...used to be a CEO received 30X's more then the average of employees, now three to four hundred times more......
"Let them eat Cake".....where will it lead?

Sorry,
got called to my nightly ration of beans and rice. Also had to chop wood for the hammering Jesse say's we are about to get.
In 1971 upon release from high school, I shared an apartment 1 block from the beach in Ocean Beach, San Diego. I was a surfer.
We planned on 1/4 of our pay checks going for rent and bills. The rest of the months pay went to well, I really don't remember
And that was pretty much the standard then. If you were smarter than I, you were able to save a good portion of your earnings for the american
dream.
When I started running construction crews a number of years later, you could get health insurance for about $40.00 a year.
If the costs of everything these days compared to the wages is a result of what modern technology has brought us, I say it was a big mistake!

loretto
capn sharkey-it is sad but true,loreto is on it's way to canadian...'rico gringoland' and i just read that the chinese bought-for 100 billion or
somthing like that...the 'oil shale' rights in the canadian north! imagine the 'OIL"bucks going 'south' to Baja and you can began to realize that
every rich dude in the world is seeking a safe 'haven' away from terror attacks and
the uncertainty of world turmoil.
i almost tried to buy a tripui space,but the 'fire' changed all that...and the 'fire' of really rich greedy migrants will continue to influx every
good Baja place with 'ideal' settings,but the fish will not sustain them or the water from the mountains-then a desaliniazation plant will be set
up-then all poor folks will be 'bused-in' to town-too expensive to live there anymore,and that includes me! Baja is no longer for the average
income-and you better bring lots of worthless 'dollars' as the dollar is sinking ti record levels of worthlessness.

About the dollar's worthlessness
Dawk, I really agree with most of what you're saying.
The funny thing is that as the dollars has declined in value over the past few months, the peso has generally remained at the same or less in value.
Still at 11.5/dollar as of yesterday.
Compared to most all other currencies, the dollar is approaching historic lows.
Gee, I wonder if it has anything to do with the two lunkheads running for president up here? They both treat federal deficits like they are a good
thing.

I have witnesses
I saw what I saw. Maybe it was a special flight into LTO. I have a credible witness. I don't drink (and haven't for over 25 years) and have not
gone totally senile yet. Capt. George, you know you love it when Ben Dover reaches and touches someone (especially you). I don't mean to point
fingers here, butt.......did he have a hand on one shoulder or two shoulders. It makes a big difference.
