The leaked news that a Chedraui supermarket is planning to build one of its stores at the San Vicente neighborhood has residents upset. Todos Santos residents, mostly the foreigners, along with environmental activists constantly oppose the growth of their dusty, sleepy town, citing the rules of the town’s Urban Development Plan (PDU), which they are also rejecting haha.
The store would benefit residents with scarce means or without a vehicle who cannot afford to drive 1 hour to La Paz or Cabo San Lucas to do their shopping. They are stuck with the weekly organic market, which is not cheap, or the existing (and even more expensive) two Mercados del Sol in town. Stay tuned.
I found the piece on opposition to the new grocery store in TS to have a tinge of bias. Not objective journalism. Much of the proposed development is illegal per the PDU, that was developed by the citizens.
I agree. Bias. There are many reasons to oppose including protecting local businesses. There are plenty of places to shop besides Sol. Writer did not do his homework
