Hey yankeeirishman,
That SailorDog was funny! You're a graphics artist? Better be careful or that Creative Genius stuff'll attract a pile on and ruin your rep around
here...

We're Too Late
Sorry Everyone,
While we were all sitting around our PCs yammering about the number and nationality of my friends, the developer in question took advantage of the
distraction, snuck in and started his development last night. I'm sorry to say that it may be too late to stop him now. To all the nay sayers on this
Forum, a tip of the hat. You were right, pessimism is best ism of all. At least, you're never disappointed...
Here is a photo of a section of the Todos Santos dunes taken just yesterday:
Pretty nice, huh?
The following picture is how the same section of the dunes looked today. This is not pretty, and I warn you if you care deeply about the unspoiled
beauty of Baja remaining that way, you may not want to scroll down any farther to see what happened...

The new look of TS
That new picture looks great. Lots of employment, less reliance on the artsyfartsy gringo tribes in TS today and far enough away from Cabo to
succeed. Great idea.
When are the Federal Zone permits going to be granted? I can hardly wait.

JR...What's a quant? I plan to grow Budda's Belly Bamboo on my Loreto Bay Lot...I want it sustainable. I can just hang at the pool in front of our
villa and watch my investment grow while dousing down Pacificos.
Don\'t get mad...
Get EVEN.

any way they want to, even if the local community doesn't want it (Gringos AND Mexicans).

Now, exactly what law states that a businessman cannot build on his land even if it is a sand dune?
Perhaps you can band together a fund to buy him out and protect said land?
I doubt, that you will. You'd rather just strip him of his land rights without compensation. This BS is exactly why the present eco-a$s-clown movement
is doomed and sinking fast.
Now get back to you gated community where you belong.

JR, the only difference between the developer in question and you is "money". If you had the wherewithall to dev that land, you would too.

Right on!
The next Baja 2000 must have a loop through this area.
Only the Tecate Truck and Tent Booths are missing.

Fortunately, the decision will be made by the Mexicans, and not by the Gringos, the Caliornians, or even the Nevadans...

The decision will be made by some Mexicans. Probably those who will financially benefit from the decision.

this thread reminds me....
that certain people on this board are probably forgetting to take their meds....remember people, one with breakfast...one with lunch.... and one
right before bedtime and suddenly all those things that worried you so much will seem so trivial

The land owners will benefit the most. It is their business case and I have yet to see any data that substantiates their activities as illegal.

Wrong again Blackie
We spent 2 years looking for places that didn't have realtors, developers or gringos just because we don't want to do that kind of thing.
It's nice that you have money but, when it comes to money meaning more to some folks than anything, well, the happiest people I know have less than
me, and I don't have any!

I wanted to let all of you know tomorrow's radio show will have a representative calling in from the proposal to save the dunes in Todos Santos. They
will discuss what's happening from their side (I tried to get a rep. from Sr. Ogden, but didn't get a return correspondence). They will be on in the
first 20 minutes only.

Nonesense!
Count #1) You have zero right to tell a land owner what to do with his/her land if they are acting in a lawful manner.
Count #2) Money is a bi-product of success. Success generally comes with hard work. Hard work is supported by peers, friends and family. If you can't
understand this social climate then the problem is yours and not mine.
Count #3) Your continued position that only the poor are happy is nothing more than self serving jibberish fueld likely by your own frustration and
lack of success.
