Arrested Development - Ex-Pats Mexico

I did not know that a Mexican President 'experimented' trying to build a model, socialist village. Probably based on the experiments in Tanzania. this is San Francisco (San Pancho) in Nayarit. Here is tidy excerpt from a website:

"It was during the period of 1970 to 1976, that the regime of President Luis Echeverría was attracted to this town with the purpose of establishing a self-sufficient third-world model town, with the construction of a fisheries research center, schools and a modern and fully-equipped hospital; back in those days a most unique facility with unusual characteristics, which continues to operate offering: general surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics, gyneco-obstetrics, traumatology, general practice, emergencies, dentistry, preventive medicine, laboratory, X-rays, pharmacy and hospitalization."

And what are they selling for income?

Same as all along the coast - dreams of paradise and winter beach vacations.

All the industry started was a failure - there is still fishing and fruit, but the big money is in regularizing ejido land.
