Home Is Where Cheap Rent Is
I was curious about the title of this story "Home Is Where Cheap Rent Is". Rents in Baja mostly have been in dollars. I have lived in Baja for the past 40 years, and since I remember first my parents and then me, have paid our rents in dollars. The other side of the story is that if you go over to 5 y 10, La Mesa, Los Alamos, El Lago, El Murua, El Guaycura and east of TJ, you might find cheap rents in Pesos, but you can also find rents in Dollars. Mainly because the Dollar is stable "ha". It all depends where you want to live or where you can afford to live. When I was a kid I didn't know what the peso was, and I lived in TJ. It started changing around 1976. And then the peso came. We were so far off the entire Mexican Republic, that I remember the bad ill repute we Tijuanenses had.— September 20, 2009 11 p.m.
