I can't find any of the previous sites, I guess they were all embedded in the now-deleted threads.

Thanks, folks.

I just deleted the one LakeHeron listed a the owner of the forum named it Lake Chapala and now opened it to info on San Miguel where jhe lives. It started out great andnow has lost its focus.

I'm going to hang in there to see how it works out. I think it is interesting to hear about SMA in case some people consider moving there. There isn't a focus on SMA at this point.

And sadly, all the history for Lakeside Crime is gone. This is all that shows when you go to that page:

Lakeside Crime Has Closed

I know the owner has kept the history in case anybody wants to take over the site on her terms.

Why did Lakeside Crime close???

Why did Lakeside Crime close???

Sigh...

[solajijic]

I can hear that sigh from here...its a shame but what was she thinking to insist upon certain parameters if she's exiting. It becomes what it needs to be as a reflection of the times which are changing and this just might have been the right time and the right place for it to become more important than ever before...too bad.

[barefootcontessa22]

Sigh...

what kind of an answer is that? I've heard of talk of fear of retribution, but that Lakeside Crime would likely be exempt because of anonymity -- it's a serious question. Now solajijic says "she's exiting" so is it shutting down because the owner of the site is leaving?

I know Lakeside Crime has been considered a valuable safety asset to the community and I'm wondering why it's shutting down now.

Thank you.

People were not reporting as the person who ran it stated in an explanation that were posted here. Statistics were given showing the lack of reporting when events were known about. There were other considerations as well.

Okay I may be shot down again about my opinion, but here it goes; take a moment and remember who sponsors this forum. Chapala Realty/Coldwall Banker if I'm not mistaken. No disrepect to any poster, but think about their position. They want to sell/rent homes as that is their livelihood. And definalely no disrepect to Chapala Realty. With all the posts on the forum regarding crime and horrific details, would you want to move here? Probably not. I started reading this forum about six months prior to moving here and learned so many positives about the area and was thrilled. I'm still thrilled about being here, just never go out at night which I didn't do prior to the recent crime activity. Just again, my opinion.

You'd be surprised to know that Mexican agents are doing quite well selling properties to Mexicans from Guadalajara.

There are buyers markets and sellers markets and agents do well in both.

I suspect it has more to do with the advertisers in the Ojo del Lago which is also owned by this website.

BINGO!

Well personally just today I took my next phase business into a two local businesses with whom I have been exchanging money for goods for the last 6 weeks. Both businesses told me, since they know I have a major push coming up, to purchase the bulk of my items before they raise their prices almost 20%. I said that seemed like a large raise in a short period of time since I know their prices were adjusted upwards in March. I got a direct eye contact look with both gentlemen and they said "It will be this way for the future."

since we have previously been involved with collecting a loan from a local businessman who was all of a sudden unable to make any payment at all on the loan I am well aware of what they were alluding to and it doesn't surprise me at all. These are both national businesses but locally owned.
