It is time for re-development US type health inspectors would burn the place down.

I have never once seen a rat, or even evidence of a rat's presence, anywhere in Mexico. And I have been everywhere, though admittedly I haven't spent
much time living around the deepwater ports or investigated the grain silos.
Probably a few flies. And a few of the aforementioned highway robbers visiting from up in Rosarito if you got followed.

We were having dinner in a palapa-style open-air restaurant on the east cape when chavycha yelled "Squirrel!" as a critter ran across one of the side
beams of the roof. I'm thinking that Baja does not, in fact, have an odd breed of squirrel with a creepy long naked tail. The enchiladas were awesome;
I did not ask what went in them.

Guess you probly haven't been to this unidentified bar somewhere in Mexico.
They only come out when the place is closed at night and run for cover as soon as a light is turned on:

About $5k for a panga ride to a surf landing somewhere in the US, finance packages available. |
Udo failed to get pic of one of those pangas or cartel guy was standing guard.

I think the author is encouraging tourists to park there so he/she can rob their cars. Car breakins seems to be the local sport in town.

...and the studio is no longer open to tourists.

This Same Article is Front Page in the Current Baja Times
At least they credited the author, but not the source, the L.A. Weekly. http://www.bajatimes.com/online/2016/8_16-31/pages/01.jpg
About fifteen years ago, we asked a friend of ours, a Rosarito government official, if the Popotla fishing village was a good place to visit.
He shrugged and said, "Yes, if you want to have your car stolen or get a case of Hepatitis C."
We decided to give it a pass.
