Mexican retirement homes
Hi,
I lived in San Diego California for 28 years, I came to France 5 years ago, I have seen first hand some of these Mexican retirement homes sold to unsuspecting Americans, the quality of building is disgusting,the building inspections non existant,and upon completion they have to be heavily fortified against intruders.I have friends who were tempted by "cheap" deals and lived to regret it, Mexico is an extremely poor country, it lacks a lot of the basic infrastructure that Europeans take for granted, it was also dangerous down there, many many robberies, rapes and even murders.
Several times I drove down there with visiting friends who just had to go over the border, twice I was stopped by local police, for no reason, and after about half an hour was told it would COST me $100 to go on my way.
Please do not lead unsuspecting Europeans into such a venture. It is not a safe place, believe me I have seen it with my own eyes.
