It's my understanding that Clara didn't pay for any of the improvements in town, i.e. launch ramp, hot spring enlargement, walkways etc. The local
gringos brought the material and had work parties. The access fee varies with whoever happens to be at the gate. Try driving in like you live there,
it works about half the time!

Your "understanding " is WRONG .
I know, I live there and have been an owner for over 20 years.

I, like others who have commented, used to like PuerteCitos, but when they started getting hostile, and charged to even drive into the town (out on
the peninsula) I NEVER do anything but "drive Thru" anymore, and head south-----it is the ONLY town that I get negative vibes from, other than perhaps
Puerto Calamajue. I won't even eat there anymore.

Barry, this is the "mexico" that you should be concerned with ??
This is just one of many stories that I have been told.
I can tell you a few that I have personal knowledge of and have seen .

On another note, when I purchased property in Jones Valley many years ago, Redding was a "sleepy", friendly town. I don't think it can be described in
the same vein today?
Just that times , they are a changing .

Beer Can---------Redding is certainly still friendly, but your right, it is not "sleepy" anymore, darn it. The hordes from the Bay area and S. CA
are descending on us rapidly, but most of them are nice people (so far). But traffic is getting kinda out of control, and there is now a glut of
traffic lights.
Lots of houses available, tho-------we are WAY overbuilt.
Jones Valley is still very nice, tho.
