LindaB Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 In the Lourdes section, on the driveable road up the hill, new construction is continuing. Part of the hill above the road is being reduced to rubble. Seems they are gatheri g stones for the building. The project sits at the elbow of the road. My conern is that come rainy season the now denuded hill will flood the housing below. Possibly flood with a torrent of rocks. My question is does the municipo send around a qualified person to check on the environnental impact of hillside construction? Or do we wait for disaster then point fingers? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibarra Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Perhaps someone should contact Ecologia in Chapala with concerns. That may not be the correct department, only a suggestion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johanson Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Linda, you wrote "in the Lourdes section driving up the hill". I am totally confused, where is the Lourdes section? I have absolutely no idea where that might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is talking about upper Lourdes which you get to by driving up the hill from the Monte Carlo Hotel. It's where this chapel is located.

johanson Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Thanks. Friends got married at this church some 7 years ago. So I have been there. But I had no idea the name of the area. I first started coming to Lake Chapala in 1996. Then for 10 days, the following year 4 months and these days, 8 to 9 months of the year. And I thought I knew the name of most neighborhoods. There is still so much I don't know about my adopted home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyjillin Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Hopefully LindaB will direct her concerns at a problem that really exists. That section of Lourdes has construction of new homes primarily for wealthy Tapatios off and on and any problems during that time are short lived. Lourdes is a mixture of hovels,working class housing. weekender complexes,middle and upper middle class residences,tiny smattering of foreigners and quite a few astronomically wealthy Mexicans. on the lakeside all the properties belong to the astronomically wealthy. Some have 3-5 homes on them each the size of 1 largish home in Ajijic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLIN Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Yes, I have a doctor friend who lives up there, he says there are four homes on one lot where he lives. He said the walls and exterior decor was very Spanish, Spain Spanish. Incredible views. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
