A different point-of-view

I do indeed have spectacular views from my beachfront condo on the Malecon. If you missed the photos, here's one that I particularly like and here's another. But, if I look slightly to my left on my balcony, I have an entirely different view. I already mentioned that new buildings are being constructed at great speed to accommodate people who are interested in living full or part-time in this beach community. Next door WAS a two-story small little hotel. No more; and I'd bet that a hi-rise is going to take its place in the immediate future. Seems rather sad, especially since my building is only four stories so I wonder if a developer will come in and give each individual owner here a deal that is impossible to refuse. Bears watching! It looks like Demolition Derby, doesn't it?

A Common Sight

Because of a building boom in Mazatlan, this is a fairly common sight. The Canadian dollar has increased which is probably one reason why so many Canadians are buying in Mexico up and down the Pacific coast. I think that they outnumber the Americans who own houses and condos here. Construction is booming and prices are escalating. I hate to see this pattern in Mazatlan because culture and society are always affected by "progress" but not always in a positive way.
