Thanks for all the replies. I ended up getting a new fob programmed by Chema at Aragon in Chapala. Also got an extra igntion and door key. Cost me about $5,000 pesos. But, he came to the house, so no towing required. I'm happy.
Some folks coming to town asked me where they could watch a game. I never go out to watch games. Is the Cocktail Bar a good place? Any suggestions? Brew House?
They could easily do diagonal parking on both sides and still have two lanes each way. With all the visitors to the malecon and a shortage of parking already it is just a really dumb decision.
It is all parallel now, which means it can provide spaces for about half the previous amount of cars. It is just incredibly shortsighted. Parking in Chapala was already less than was needed and this just makes it worse. Someone needs to start complaining to the right people. There was plenty of room for traffic before with angled parking on both sides.
