Folks (especially from this board) have been predicting the demise of this place for a while now. Yet, these guys seem to keep goin'. Now, I'm not
into planned "authentic Mexican villages"  , but I'm starting to think you folks are
"holwin' in the wind". 
And, the same applies for the Escalera Nautica (Escalera Stupida it's been called). This one's going to happen too. Maybe not the land bridge, maybe
not to the extent of the original plan, but it WILL happen. And, you know what - it's not all bad. As a boater, some places to refuel along the
Pacific coast, along with some contacts for emergencies might be appreciated. Right now, the ones who are not affected by these shortcomings are the
multi-millionaires. Most every one else need not apply. Stick THAT in your pipe and smoke it.
I don't want it to change either, but some of you folks are just as arrogant as the planners of these monstrosities. And, why don't you look up
"luddite" in the dictionary?

Roberto,
Since we're giving each other vocabulary lessons, here's one for you:
defeatism - an attitude of accepting, expecting, or being resigned to defeat.
I'm strongly against this development and I'm not a Luddite. BTW, the word is capitalized. It comes from a man named Ludd.

I don't think adjectives, in the middle of a sentence, should be capitilized.
Ergo: luddite.

Luddite is an adjective.
Dictionary is a noun.

Roberto,
I'd be all for a nice mid-sized marina with a modest hotel and shops to resupply boaters on their voyages. The Sea of Cortez is truly a
watersportman's paradise.
What Loreto Bay is doing will pollute the environment, dry up the aquifers, and alienate the local population.
They are evil folks motivated soley by profit who are performing a modern Mexican land grab using greenwash propaganda. The area will be devastated.
Take a look at Cabo San Lucas and see the future of Loreto.

"Flounders Village" Ha!!! very funny
Escalera Nautica failed because it was not feasible, their supporting propaganda didn't pan out (the number of registered boats in Arizona were
calculated in fer crissake), the planned private funding did not materialize and there were environmental concerns prompting opposition from that
standpoint. During the subsequent years and to this day, alternative plans for "improved" marinas evolved instead, dictated more by a more gradual
indication of actual need. Even so, with the designation of BOLA as a marine preserve, a huge marina will not materialize there, and I suspect that
interests other than John McCarthy's - who is no longer at the helm - will become important factors to be dealt with. Puerto Escondido had been in
the works for a long time, and with the LB development, its time finally came, but wasn't necessarily an element of Escalera Nautica success. Long
story short, Escalera Nautica failed. And it's still a matter of time before we see LB's success. Lots of opposition, and more people are beginning
to understand all the factors which will negatively affect the project, as well as LB's own lies - they will be hoisted on their own petard.

Good point wilderone, Puerto Escondido is the area's marina. I guess there's no need for one in Loreto.

Fortunately, there are agreed-upon rules for grammar so that language doesn't become total anarchy. As far as I know, this one of yours isn't one of
them. Or rather, it's overridden by the adjective-derived-from-proper-name capitalization.

Where does it say that, Larry? If you're willing to teach, I'm willing to learn..........and stand corrected.

Adjectives? Those adjectives can contribute to some unusual situations. Don't
want any of 'em added to my rations, they can cause a variety of ailments.

Is this going to be your south-of-the-border raison d'etre?
It may take away your tanning time but, a good tan isn't everything.

...Dennis, I love Loreto. I love it because I feel safe there, a young woman traveling alone, and because the people are so friendly and beautiful and
kind. I love it because the water is crystal clear and I can dive and not see mounds of liter like I see in the waters near Hawaii...Loreto is
special because there is no Staryucks or McDonalds or other junk-food containers lining the streets - as I found in the Florida Keys...I do not think
that adding 6000 housing units bodes well for keeping Loreto (or any place) as safe and clean and sweet as it is.
...so, yes, it can easily be my raison d'etre - I have no economic interest in any of this - I just know that when I have felt broken on the inside
(personal heartaches, etc.), Loreto is where I went to feel whole again. And I love it for that.
