Also the original attraction with the Zona is that they wanted to build a pedestrian bridge from the US into the Zona for tourists to visit Revolution with more ease. With prostitution in that area it's not possible now.
So unless the developers make it worth the governments time, give them lots of money, it will stay how it is. The new president of Mexico will be a woman and likely Morena party so if it was going to get done I could see it now more than before.

Posts: 1173Best way to Tijuana now to avoid wait times is use southwest. They have flights that leave out of San Diego at 6 am. Cross over at 4 am with no wait. It cost more than spirit but worth it.

In terms of geography, I guess you could say the Zona is on the "fringe" of the city, but if you consider the "heart" of Tijuana to be the Zona Centro / Zona Rio area, it's basically right there in a close-to-central location.

Posts: 2569The Zona is on of Tijuana's single greatest sources of revenue. This the reason why Mexico expends so much money on law enforcement. There is lot of other areas near the border that can be refeveloped. We should also remember that struggles just to keep control from the cartels. The drug gangs and corruption will be Mexico's biggest concern for many years to come.

Also this week they are supposed to start on construction for the new highway above Avenida Internacional.
Lots of changes coming but with the recent drop in the dollar the demand for new homes has fallen. So right now things might actually start to slow and prices drop. Just depends on the costs in SD.

They are actually supposed to have an accurate APP developed next year so hopefully it's more precise. Also I've mentioned this before but they have a Facebook page devoted to people waiting in line to give real time information on the wait.
The only border crossing closed is the Pedwest and I haven't heard of many 3 hour wait times for pedestrians. In the future you can also use a bus that will pick you up on Revolution and drive you thru the border for only $10. Not sure what time your flight was but something that you could look into for your next visit.

Posts: 6522Quick visits to hot spots
Bear,
We are planning to have the hottest time in Jakarta.
Unfortunately it has to be the last stop as nonstop flights from Tokyo on Garuda are way too expensive. We have to take shorter regional flights to HCMC, Bangkok, Singapore then Jakarta.
You are right. We may be worn out or run out of time by the time we get down to Jakarta. I am familiar with the ins and outs those cities so we can get out of airports and check in hotels quickly, spend 2 or 3 nights at each, hit the best spots, have fun then get out to airports for the next spots, not wasting any time. I usually travel that fast, have enough fun in each spot but never stay too long anywhere to put down roots hehe.

Being adjacent to the border is an incredible asset. Like you can see the americas outlets from Hong Kong. It's literally right across the border.
I suspect they put the tolerance zone there (not just putas; remember it's a tolerance zone for drugs up against the border) because it's basically as far as you can push things towards the fringes of the city, away from the center. But you're right. If they were to do the zoning today, they would probably push it east or south. And that land in zona would be prime retail for day trippers.

Posts: 168My fellow Tijuana veteran, I hope you save enough time to make it to Jakarta. I just got back from there. Quality of ladies blows the balls off of Tijuana or Soy 6 Pattaya.

Posts: 21Trip report
Flew down to Tijuana a week or two ago. Stayed at Cascadas as usual; checked in on Monday evening. Rooms were 70% off with VIP. First HK girl I saw was Kiss; she said she was 22 and from Sinaloa. She was gorgeous but didn't like my favorite position (prone bone). Then I saw Gielsa (also at HK), which was a fantastic session. She said she was 26 and from Sonora. Her body was interesting; her ass looked fake but felt real. Maybe she had it surgically sculpted? Not sure. Next session was Peggy at HK, who said she was 21 from Monterrey. Couldn't finish, even after taking a blue pill, but she was a sweetheart and cuddled with me until our time ended. Out of curiosity I decided to get a massage at NB Elite. Paid $160 for a 40 minute massage + FS. They had around 7-8 girls, all of which were at most 8. Had an excellent massage from Yadira, would recommend. Had the FS session with Nina, who said she was 27 and from Tijuana. Nina was only ok; the sex was awkward and she wasn't really into it. She asked me for a tip at the end which I didn't like and decline. I do sometimes give tips but I don't like it when the girls ask for one. Went to the costume party at HK, which was super crowded. There were some cool costumes but honestly the club was too full. Last session was at HK with Nasa (odd name I know). This was one of my all-time best sessions. She was super sweet and was super into it. Paid all the HK girls $100, tipped Nasa an extra $20 because I really liked her.
For some reason I didn't enjoy this trip as much as my previous ones. I think part of it is that it is exhausting scouring the clubs for gems. I had some great sessions this trip but navigating the clubs is not fun for me. The music is too loud, and HK gets too crowded in the evenings (I think there were 3-4 men for each chick at the costume party). One day there will be a fire at HK and people will die in the ensuing stampede. Also I prefer young, sweet spinners, and maybe 20% of HK girls are both hot and not sharky.
Check out on Thursday morning. Had some hiccups when leaving; one of the border crossings was closed. Taxi driver told me there was a three-hour line at the other (not sure if that was BS or not). So I paid $30 for him to drive me to Otay, then another $60 for an Uber to the airport (the blue line doesn't go to Otay). Not sure if this was the right call but I didn't want to miss my flight.

Posts: 6522Asia Tour: Tokyo, Bangkok, Pattaya, Singapore, Jakarta
Will do a 2 to 3 week Asia tour, end of Nov into December, Tokyo, HCMC, Bangkok, Pattaya, Singapore, Jakarta. Will stay at each location 3 or 4 nights depending on how much funs can be had.
Tokyo is a good gateway to Asia with JAL's Zipair flying Boeing 787 nonstop 10 hours from LAX to Narita for $400-500 RT. From Tokyo many regional airlines can be booked to various spots like 6 hour nonstop to Bangkok for $250 -300 RT.
Lots of fun can be had with beautiful girls with good food so cheap. Let me know if you want to go.
