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.

The American president today said he is going to have the us military attack the cartels in Mexico on the ground.

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

There goes the Viva Baja feeling

Could become very dangerous for tourists and permanent residents

If he starts anything I'm considering selling all of my property in Mexico.

Actions without thought of consequences. :P

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.
