Baja Resort Boom Artical
There is a artical in 12/12/06 San Diego Daily Transcript about the Baja Resort Boom. Looks like construction on Trumps condos & hotel is
scheduled to start in mid-January. 232 unit tower in the 1st phase to be completed in 18 months. Deposits on 188 suites have already been put down
($122,000,000 Total) ~65,000/a pop.
Also mentions the Salsipuedes development which is underway. I drove by on Saturday and saw BIG scary looking retaining walls on the steep slope just
north of Ensenada.
Also Mentions Hussongs/Meridian developement of the Porto Hussongs Resort. Made for the rich and famous with there 100 Foot mega-yachts. $600,000
to $3,000,000 a pop.
People have money to burn. After making a charity run on Saturday I waiting for 3 hours in the border line. I am done with Baja. I may take my two
wheeling acrossed the line though.

David-----Of course you can do it-------at 49 you have a lot of time. I too went thru a divorce after 24 years, remarried 6 years later, and between
me and my (now) wife have 4 kids-----we got all thru college, and they are all doing well now. Of course the kids all worked, and help to put
themselves thru college----we never could have done it without their help.
It is not easy, but not that hard either. It is just a mind-set, I think. And I suppose there is some luck to it, also. I don't like to think so,
but we have had some lucky breaks----picked some good stocks and Funds-------had kids with "drive" to succeed------and no disasters to contend
with------but still we did stick to that 30% of income committed to the Market, and with luck and good planning your investments will double in value
about every 6-7 years (that is "free" money) and you will probably make it. It sure beats just "spending" the money with NO return at all once the
"stuff" you bought wears out and is gone.
As you can tell (I think), I really believe in this-----it kills me that more don't put it into practice. We have so much opportunity in this
country----------so much!!!

you are so right about opportunity if someone has the "mind-set" to do what you have done. I wish I
had been so mind-set when it came to money....I could kick myself when I think about it....ok...I wont think about it...I am going to drink some
tequilla instead and watch the beautiful sunset on the Sea of Cortez....
I toast to you Barry......here's to opportunity in the USA....I had many a great opportunities in my life and enjoyed each and every one of
them....and yes I would do it differently if I had known then what I know now......

Oh save us rich people, pretty please??? Give us your money.
It is a sin that you mentally and physically worked hard, took on a lot of "risk", and made a lot of money-----------now it is time to give it to the
rest of the folks that put NOTHING at risk, and whine a lot. Yeah, right!!!!! You folks that feel this way amaze me.
I am out of this discussion.  |
we were talking about trump and his Baja Resort? I thought that maybe there was some hope that the future would smell alot sweeter where he chose to
make such an enormous investment. Commies, Hippies....holy moly....what are you guys talking about????
I must have had too much acid myself cause I got lost on the last turn....

Sorry Kelly-----
That tirade was triggered by a poster's statement to the effect that the USA should pay for improvement in infrastructure in Mexico around
TJ------that just blew my mind, and I reacted without thinking (much).
Just disregard it, please, if possible.

I've been told that his investment was lending name to the project. Seems to have worked.

Careful Old Hippie....

Far out man, watch out for the brown acid. I think I heard that announcement at Woodstock right after I dropped some.
Hey, you're the one that's in jail and walks on all fours 8^).
I just get mad when folks make statements that aren't true, especially when its to slam Mexico.
I walked a few miles this AM from the border fence south along the beach. It recently rained here and I counted 3 outfall pipes (6" diameter or so)
that were trickling runoff onto the beach. Sure, it's nasty stuff. But, I'm an optimist and think/hope that all the development will also bring the
money necessary to improve the infrastructure. There is cooperation between the Mexican and US governments on coastal water quality that I think will
lead to progress. They should just raise San Diego/US taxes and build more stuff down here with the money.
The coastline between TJ and Ensenada is booming. It is a dangerous time for the environment. A real crapshoot, so to speak. |
careful where step around here..... you could end up with
something on your shoe.....or you could stir up a bunch of sh.t and forget the real purpose of this discussion....no sense slinging sh.t at
eachother....we have enough of it already that needs to be cleaned up.
It looks like you have done alot of homework and spent a great deal of energy, thought and banging away on the keyboard to make a statement.....I will
look at a few of the websites you mentioned to understand more......
Most of us nomads love Mexico....or why would we be spending our time on this forum...so take it easy and do not let them see where you tie up your
goat....lol... you may be an old hippie..but you are a newbie in this
neighborhood and it takes some time to adjust to all the different "characters" around here. So, take it easy man...have some tequilla....

no way jose'....I totally understand as I too thought that was a
remark would trigger the same reaction. It is a shame that everyone thinks the USA should pay for everything. Hard to believe the way people think
everything can be taken care of...by US tax dollars.... I give up....

Dump Towers
"The Donald" could take on a whole new meaning....
"May I use your Donald?"
"Please excuse me, I need to go to the Donald"
"That 8th grader stuck my head in The Donald and gave me a swirlie"
go ahead..... I just dare ya ! !
Its all just stuff and some numbers.
A day spent sailing isn\'t deducted from one\'s life.
Peace, Love, and Music
