8/7/2019 The reality of Rocky Point
1/1
W e the undersigned are all current presidents (unpaid), of
homeowner associationsin Rocky Point, that represent thousands of
fellow resident ARIZONANS whoown vacation properties in this resort
beach destination. We are not Mexicangovernment officials or local
Mexican businessmen. Our sole purpose of thisresponse is to set the
record straight. Why would any of us that own property inRocky
Point continue to drive & vacation there if we felt it wasnt
safe??
Would it be fair to warn people not to come to Tucson in light
of the Safewayshooting? Of course notthats how relative it is. We
listen to the news every dayabout crime in Tucson and are not even
fazed. Why are we not more concerned about the multiple murders and
the congresswoman being shot, in an act of random violence,versus a
police chief being wounded in the line of duty? (which occurred
almost ayear ago, not recently, as you would be lead to believe by
the article)
The negative media reporting about Rocky Point in our opinion
has been unfairfor years. It has been motivated by various
political issues and the fight for tourismdollars, using fear
instead of facts, and conveniently being on the forefront priorto
almost every major holiday. (watch out, Memorial weekend is coming)
Manypeople in and out of the media who criticize Rocky Point have
never even beenthere.
Are we saying Rocky Point is crime free? No, but most of the
issues have beendrug related and are not targeting American
tourists. When will we work togetherwith our neighbors south of the
border and take responsibility for our own countrys
desire for drugs?We, along with thousands of fellow Arizonans,
and our families, will continue to
drive to and enjoy this beachfront community, that has
transformed from a collegespring break getaway of 20 years ago, to
our second home resort destination.
The reality of Rocky PointThis is in response to the recent US
State Dept Travel Advisory and the article reporting on it,
regarding
Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point) Mexico, that was front-page news,
in this paper last Saturday.[ ]
