Of course I understand my position as just a visitor to Zihua--as I clearly point out in my post.<br />But it seems your understandable pride in your adopted home has clouded your view of what I actually said. I don't fault the quantity of street lighting (though I know some do), but its quality. It costs no more to use warmer, more pleasant LED lighting than the current cool, uninviting hue of light.<br />(It’s like a town here in Minnesota deciding the plantings they want in the public square are thorn bushes, when they could just as easily have planted lilacs.)<br />As for my attitude about Zihua, which you see as critical, you’re apparently unaware of my frequent, glowing reflections on the city’s many glowing attributes. <br />http://www.onemanswonder.com/2015/03/the-price-of-paradise.htmlJeffrey Williushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02748080134354732541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037880479077170696.post-14626133392004916232023-04-08T09:58:48.086-05:002023-04-08T09:58:48.086-05:00For someone who only spends a month here in the wi...For someone who only spends a month here in the winter you probably don't know that our current mayor and his wife have done more to enrich the lives of the locals than any other mayor in the history of Zihuatanejo. I live here full time, I am a Mexican citizen and the changes they have made are incredible. <br />The town is spotless, we have garbage pickup daily and people cleaning daily. They support education like no other and it is not the responsibility of the local government, that belongs to state and federal government, yet he invested last year alone millions of pesos for infrastructure in local schools. The list goes on and on but as a visitor you chose to criticize lighting! The people wanted more security so lights and decent roads to access their homes it is. He cleaned up the corruption in the local offices so that monies paid to any government agency actually went into the city bank accounts and not people's pockets. All so more could be reinvested in infrastructure and programs for the locals. <br />Next year when you come, I hope you can spend some time focusing on the positives of Zihuatanejo rather than something you view as a detriment. Foreign tourism is l less than 30% of our tourist dollar. Jorge Sanchez has promoted Zihuatanejo to create more jobs for the locals year round not just when the snowbirds arrive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
