Im all for PROGRESS in RP.. Build the home port, the people want it, the people love it, cant wait to take the first cruise!!

A few of you people on this forum need to get a life ( you know who you are ). You know your the ones who have nothing better to do than to argue & bash everything about RP while living in AZ. Yes we know you hate the RP resorts, you hate the progress in RP, easy solution don't come to RP. Go to El Golfo and sit by yourself on the beach & argue w/ yourself all day long.

You represent the local population?

BRO, maybe you're missing something here. We all LOVE and VISIT Penasco FREQUENTLY. Just because we're critical of something or oppose something doesn't mean we are BASHING RP. Get a CLUE BRO.

You know we hate the resorts? Well, wrong again Mikeinthesand. I frequently stay in the PIGEON COOPS. We hate progress in RP? Wrong, wrong, wrong again BRO.

Easy solution, I KEEP COMING TO ROCKY POINT 10 trips a year and I KEEP POSTING WHATEVER I FEEL LIKE POSTING ON THIS DISCUSSION FORUM.

I'll go to SANTO TOMAS and ARGUE with JERRY ABOUT WHOS FISH IS BIGGER and WHY I SHOULDN'T DO 70MPH TO THE EJIDO FOR SNACKS AT THE END OF THE DAY. Too much fun.

I'm all for progress too, but I strongly disagree that this is the right way to go about it. For lack of a better phrase, this is like putting lipstick on a pig. You can't build a shiny new cruise terminal when you still have streets lined with trash, unfinished buildings everywhere, etc... Have you ever been to Cancun before? You get off the plane, jump in your shuttle and take a well maintained and neatly landscaped road directly to the hotel zone without really seeing a hint of poverty, trash, etc. Having homeless people try to wash your car with newspapers scares off your average suburban family from Gilbert, hell probably a wealthy family from Mexico too.

I don't want to come off like a snob, because I love RP for what it is and don't care about the things mentioned above. But if it's really going to be a cruise destination or home port, then lets start with the basics and get the place cleaned up. (We'll keep the violence issue to the other thread)

I'm all for RP growing and generally try to put a positive spin on things. That being said, this project seems like a huge waste of money. I would have much rather seen this money go towards a Sonoyta bypass and road improvements around main parts of town. That would draw tourism, not some cruise port that will never be used. Obviously I'm taking the over on 2018...
This project is for the people of Penasco.

No doubt it's intended for the people, but please explain how this benefits them long term? Sure you may have some temporary construction jobs, but after that, what? The biggest benefit to the people is more American tourism. Dumping a bunch of rocks into the water isn't going to bring that. If the casual tourist is going to start coming down here, the place needs to be cleaned up. Have you been around Las Conchas recently? I was there over Thanksgiving and it looked like a landfill over by the train tracks near the entrance. This is unacceptable for a cruise stop, end of story. Make your average American comfortable with a mixed drink in their hand, and then the people of RP will benefit.

I like the use of Bro in conversation.It is inclusive and friendly while making the point that whoever you think you are in our conversation it is just you and me talking .It is uniquely American bro.
Was it Trotsky or Lenin that coined that term ??:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
Why are we getting so many first time posters that have strong opinions against known forum members like Jerry? This guy comes out of the wood work to bash Jerry and tell him to MOVE ON.

If it wasn't for forum members like Jerry this forum would be ~~~pura```basura```~~. This guy has one career post and it's attacking a legend in the game.

Thanks, I have a life. I don't know Jerry and I'm sure he is a fine gentleman. Only, his post sounds like so many other attitudes I have heard. I wish I was free to post my opinions on this board but I get bashed from the likes of you. So who is wrong here BRO.
Geoff, we're just having a conversation.......Hey, my bet is the port will end up a loser for the average Puerto Penasco Mexican citizen.Still, if I am wrong that would make me happy.
For people that come down from Arizona to enjoy the beach at their condos and beach houses this thing will suck for sure.For real estate hustlers most likely a win. The only thing I really give a crap about the Sea of Cortez ...well it will be a disaster for the Vermilion Sea.......show me the studies that say this dredging,pollution and potential for disaster have been really looked into.
