We have been hearing on the news that in 2017 the crime rate in Rosarito/Ensenada/Cabo has gone up 130%. They say that it is now the murder capitol of Mexico. We have been planning our retirement to the Ensenada area. This sounds very frightening.
So I'm asking the Expats in the area if they feel safe? Are you safe in your communities? All crimes across the board are up. We just heard tonight (August 24) that the State Department is recommending not to travel to Mexico at all. Considering that many honest Mexican citizens make their money from tourism this is really sad.
I would like some input from people living there.
Thanks
