San Ysidro, California, which is 35 minutes away from downtown San Diego is preparing to expedite the first phase of the $577 Million dollar expansion of the largest border project in US History. The San Ysidro Port of Entry, experiences 50,000 vehicles and 25,000 pedestrians that utilize this border crossing daily into the State of California from Mexico.

This expansion will include more vehicle lanes, and a wider and longer pedestrian bridge, if every thing goes according to plans this expansion will be completed in 18 months.

Ah, lucky we live Hawaii. Investors purchasing at the Trump Baja project in Northern Mexico, just South of San Diego lost more than $32,000,000.00 in deposits recently when the Trump/Irongate venture folded. According to the article, all of the down payments have already been spent by the developer.

At the Beach Villa's sales event, your deposit is being held by a third party escrow company, not by the developer Centex. Also, the Beach Villa's project is completed, you can touch it, feel it, see it and walk in it. Unfortunately, not the same outcome for those unfortunate US buyers who thought they were making a solid investment in Mexico.

We could have been one of them as we went down and looked at Trump Baja. Luckily, we purchased at the Beach Villa's.
