  2. My Father has a home out there. For many years now I've been trying to convince him of selling. But to no avail he is stubborn as a mule.
    Guess its stubborn Mexican roots.
    15 years back it was nice . A developers magnet. Booming business and opportunity. Now it has withered like many places in Mexico. Trying to cope with the violence and corruption.

    2. I have a home literally 300 yards from where this took place. It's no more or less safe there than any US neighborhood of similar socio-economic background.
