Babe Magnet posted a while back that he can't figure out why he regularly sees people in Tijuana going out to restaurants and bars partying spending money as if the economy isn't hurting due to covid. I told him I don't know but Tijuana is a big city with a lot going on. There's tons of economic activity.
I've been noticing that one way you can tell the Tijuana economy is on the rise is I drive around the city a lot and there's freakin new construction going up all over the place. And I'm not just talking a little house here or a little building there. I'm talking major projects. You pass through cacho or anywhere around boulevard aguacaliente and you see construction cranes everywhere.
I've also noticed that many parts of the city that I thought were poor dangerous areas actually aren't bad at all. Going out west like Buenos Aires area around plaza monarca, villafontana, 2000, el florido these are all decent middle class areas. There's not much mongering to be done out that way, but still it just goes to show that Tijuana is a huge bustling thriving economy.
It's also worth mentioning that the California economy is firing on all cylinders, leading the whole country in rebounding from the horrific disaster that was the US government's response to the pandemic.
