So much for the ‘tax cut’ bill passed last year.
You're upper middle income and you're surprised? This was a tax cut for the "middle class" was it not?

The obvious tools for delinquents is to stop garbage collection and trickle their water supply. Obviously that doesn't work too well on lot owners.
The other step that seems to yield results is frequent, regular and persistent contact to collect past fees. Interest is added to past due accounts. A lot of work but it yields results.
The Chula Vista Board was advised several years ago by their legal counsel that the courts would only award outstanding fees for the past two years. That means suing members to collect becomes a trade-off with legal costs.
Property sales require outstanding fracc fees be paid before ownership can be transferred.
Welcome to Mexico.

I live in Upper Chula Vista and can comment on that Fracc.
- 24X7X365 POTABLE water supplied by two wells and 4 holding tanks. Water is checked for bacteria daily and tested by a Guadalajara lab quarterly for Mercury, Arsenic, heavy metals, etc.. . Wells are 200 meters deep.

Stable, competent Board of Directors for the past 8 years
- Full compliance with Mexican financial reporting requirements (facturas, payroll benefits, etc.)
- The Board works tirelessly on morosos. Low default rate
- Fiscally prudent. working to build the contingency fund
- Works with owners on building code adherence
- Transparency
- Current Concession agreement with the municipality.
- Most of the properties are sited on bedrock on the mountainside. One fault line runs North of me by about 600 meters.
- Some outstanding views over the lake in Upper CV.
- Easy access to many restaurants, the Libramiento, Walmart, Superlake, iShop, Pancho's without driving thru Ajijic.
- Hospital soon to open at the south side of the Careterra at the foot of Chula Vista

Mainecoons got me going with his post about inherent corruption and entitlement exhibited by the local municipal government. I don't normally agree with his philosophy but in terms of his rants about favoritism and blatant corruption I support his mission.
I've lived in Mexico (Lakeside) for seven years now. I've traveled to dozens of towns in many of the states.
No matter how poor the town, how little wealth or how desperate the state I have never seen road infrastructure as badly neglected as here at Lakeside, particularly Ajijic. Even the poorest towns and villages I've been in have sidewalks that aren't battle worn and streets that aren't a Chiropractor's dream.
Lakeside is wealthy. Look at the homes. Look at the cars. Look at the wages.
I live in Chula Vista. The Fracc provides it's own services at homeowners expense - water, road maintenance, street lighting, garbage collection, maintenance. The owners still pay municipal taxes. As a former Fracc treasurer I would estimate Chula Vista puts a million pesos a year into the Chapala coffers. In return the only service residents receive that I can think of is Policing. Ouch.
There are at least twenty Fraccs at Lakeside. Many have the same Concession Agreements that Chula Vista has with Chapala. What on earth is the municipality doing with those millions of pesos?
OK I know the answer.

Why don't you ask CBob gringal. I also live in Riberas and never go to the malecon.
I also supported the bench project. I live in SAT and it was probably a year ago I was last on the Ajijic malecon. I do believe in supporting our community however.

This from TOB
Placed the order in the Ilox office on March 8. Staff in the office said installation would be 2 months. Guys show up today (March 16) to do the installation. And although I didn't get a call or email warning, I can be very flexible for better internet speed. The guys didn't speak much english but we managed just fine. They were done in an hour and a half. Now happily getting 39.2 down and 9.5 up. Feels like warp speed. I signed up for the phone/internet package "Doble Full 40x30" for 399p per month. I used a US credit card for the repeating monthly charge.

I'm hearing rumors that ilox is hooking up new subscribers ahead of those who prepaid a year ago to get things started,
That would be a piss-off for those of us who were promised earliest service.

I dropped into the ilox office yesterday to inquire about the timing of installation. I'm one of the 300 prepaid accounts.
I was told they're just finishing up La Floresta over the next few weeks and should be moving East in about a month.

Does don Toribio still roll cigars in front of SuperLake? People said his were great.
They're sold in Paz. A little over 300 pesos for a twelve pack.
Not a bad smoke and as you said still hand made.

Not sure how I can be more clear. All satellite communication is two way. Just because one does not understand the physics of the universe does not mean it doesn't exist.
Hope you're better on computer systems than on telecommunications.

Please tell me if I'm missing something but how can a satellite broadcasting a unidirectional signal receive any information about the receivers that are picking u the signal?
What does "geo-location" have to do with the transmission/reception process?
TIA

Still not answering my question. No internet connection, no phone calls, no smoke signals, just the receiver sitting there picking up the satellite broadcast. I know of no way Shaw knows where your receiver is.

Geo-location. You are connected, after all, to a satellite, and that satellite software shows a list of every connected device.
