happyjillin Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 ...natural surroundings for more unsupportable development. Note these were mostly LOCAL Mexicans. 1 foto shows the people marching past my house on Hidalgo and the other is taken beside my house at the entrance to Calle Mr Crowe showing half the mountain above Lourdes gone. Except for a brief period the giant jackhammer has been operating from dawn to dusk 6 days/week for more than a year maybe 2 and at least as long as the wonderful[ahem] roads revisions on Hidalgo. The presidentes excuse for doing nothing was that Chapala has no jurisdiction in such environmental matters even when in Chapala Municipio. The people in this protest endeavour are not protesting anything else-believe it! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudgirl Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Good for them and nice to see that they all seem to be wearing masks. Folks who obviously care about their community and aren't afraid or passive about making that known. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Apparently another demonstration scheduled for this weekend. If I can find the announcement again I will post it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps as many as 400. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suegarn Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 I wouldn't want to be living in that apartment at the top of the mountain! 😧 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 3 stories high very rich Mexican family's mansion as is the newer one to the right of it . The entire 2nd floor consists of a gym ,a theatre and a games room and that is not the top of the mountain but at the edge of Upper Lourdes. The main part of the mountain that's being destroyed is further west and probably why the protesters decided to start their parade at the Monte Carlo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Liu Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 I think this is what the protest was about. A link to one of lots: https://www.lakechapalarealty.mx/Chapala/Jalisco/Lots_and_Land/Riberas_del_Pilar/Agent/Listing_429651296.html Its “Description: Magnificent 35 lot development with spectacular views of Lake Chapala, and the surrounding mountains. Panoramic view from each lot! The lots are currently ready to build with electric and telephone wiring underground. Located on the foot hills Chapala in the area of Lourdes, Chapala. This development is quite unique in its design and location as there is nothing that comes close to it in quality or location for the area. Amenities are... Clubhouse and swimming pool with 24/7 security. Within walking distance of the Chapala boardwalk, Pharmacy, Oxxo, hardware store, restaurants and other essential services.” YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZLl0L2ziV4&feature=emb_imp_woyt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
