In 2016 Mr. Mercat and I got off the ferry in Calais and had to drive past the “jungle” where thousands of Muslim migrants were living while trying to get from France to UK. Scary. Razor wire and spikes at least 15-20 feet high. So spike needed.

Can you imagine the media firestorm if this happened on OUR side of the border?

[crusty old prospector]

There is no way that these are the original “migrants” we heard so much about a few weeks ago.

Yes .... fueled mainly by Americans and other foreigners. Beachfront property everywhere is higher priced ... look at Malibu. But as Americans and other wealthy foreigners buy up Baja’s beachfronts, they are becoming “exclusive”... generally where moneyed citizens and travelers hang out.

In fact, Baja in general is becoming wealthy. Once, when I was younger, it was very hard to drive from San Diego down to the tip of Baja .... now there are very luxurious resorts and top tier fishing establishments from the top to the bottom of Mexico.

Wow. I had no idea. Things have changed a LOT there since my one and only trip to TJ in 1981. ;-)

I find it kind of shocking that Americans are actually leaving CA to live in the foreign country of Mexico, of all places. But I can imagine the beaches in Baja are beautiful.

Oh, I don’t think anyone is leaving. I think some people who can ... may buy or rent a home that theyy use a few weeks out of the year along with other homes they have.

From what I can see [not much] ... looks like condos or rentals. The beaches tooo nice and unspoiled, clear water, nice cliffs and not over developed yet.
