'Roadside hotels and motels where you have a higher incidence of extended-stay residents anecdotally can have a higher incidence of issues compared to some of your higher-end hotels, but honestly, it can all vary dramatically from property to property.

So calling them "rare" in higher end hotels would certainly be an overstatement. But you aren't in a high end place but in a 3 star hotel on La 70, so you told us, stretching your retirement income in a developing country while claiming to be an investment expert. So any safety regarding bedbugs in high end dwellings, even if it were true, wouldn't apply to you. Oh well. Looks like a swing and a miss on all counts. LOL Next time do some research before engaging your mouth, pretty simple.

Its a symptom of capitalism. In a dog eat dog world, in a poor // developing nation, nature still holds sway. Just as cats and dogs and other animals discard their abnormal offspring bcos they know they cannot support them, people with disabilities. Physical and mental. Are discarded by their familes. Families simply cannot afford to help them bcos they receive wholly inadequate support from the government. So we see the weakest and most vulnerable discarded and thrown on to the streets, where they float downstream and end up in the pool that is El Centro. A place where they can find a piece of grass to lay on and plenty of people to beg from. They are the rejects of society and must live out their lives in misery and being an eyesore and a frustration to everyone else.
But hey, who wants high taxes when it means one less FK per month. Let them suffer, they are not our concern.

Posts: 223People with disabilities in MDE
Is it just me, or do you see a ton of disabled people everyday in MDE?
Blind people with canes. People missing arms and legs, tons of cleft palates or cleft noses, etc.
And this is everyday, in the states I see this like once in a blue moon.
What is the reason for this? Underdeveloped / expensive healthcare?

And you also failed to do any research so we are given another opportunity to correct BS. Thanks Wink.

Posts: 650Bed Bugs? JFC let's move on.
Seriously dudes? How many ways can we parse the discussion about bed-bugs? Let me make a cordial suggestion.
If you're concerned about bed-bugs and all the different ways to navigate that problem. Just get a better job (or save a little more money) and stay at a nicer hotel. I've never had that problem at any of the hotels that I have ever stayed at.
Out of curiosity are you guys staying at the Motel 6 Mil??

Posts: 4015Yeah that didn't make sense. I think maybe it was supposed to say before you unpack. I personally haven't taken anti bedbug measures in hotels but maybe I should start before my luck runs out.

Posts: 4015It is new information for me that bedbugs are not common in the tropics. It explains a lot, like why I haven't encountered them in some of the sketchy places I've been. I am grateful for my dumb luck on this front.

Bedbugs are more of a problem in more temperate parts of globe, not so much in the tropics.

This article left me saying huh? I could not tell what he meant by half the stuff he wrote.
"Don't Put Your Luggage in Rack:
I don't know why so many people are putting their suitcases on top of their beds and racks, but the truth is, there's nothing wrong with it. I'm not sure why so many people think it's weird, but I don't mind. I think it's pretty cool. ".
