Yes, this area Los Cabos has a strong English influence and has had for over 30 years. Mainly American and Canada, however over the lat couple of years we have seen a European influx. The local Mexican population embraces the growth knowing it strengthen their economic future. Over the past 5 years I have noticed the Mexican youth, 25-35 are showing up at the more expensive places to hang out. This tells me there is a growth in the middle class sector of their population, which is great!
Mostly sales positions that bring in or have brought in foreign buyers. Examples are real estate and timeshare (vacation ownership) and businesses that support expats. So I have seen more foreigner start up business over the last couple of years because the government has made it easier for foreigners to do start ups. Prior to this you had to have a Mexican partner to start a business this is no longer the case, You can also now have your family work for you at your business, so the laws of who can work for you has changed too.
People who work together seem to stick together, we are a timeshare tourist hoob. So socializing is big here, lots of night club, great restaurants, and activities. Sports bars everywhere how ever the only real sport here is soccer/football.

An Expat Discusses Living in Tijuana, Mexico
An expat in Tijuana, Mexico talks about what it's like living in a border city, locals focus on family, athletic activities and more.
Not being a herd animal I fled Ajijic soon after arrival there, but made a dreadful mistake moving to its opposite, Comala, Colima. I'm no stranger to Mexico having already lived here 25 years (in the Cancun area) but found it extremely difficult to extricate myself from Comala because I had made the fatal mistake of buying a dilapidated old house which I was looking forward to renovating, and dicovered afterwards it was a National Monument! Nobody tells you because to become involved with the INAH authorities is a nightmare. Have since built a house in the Patzcuaro area and become very involved in organzing massive free sterilization campaigns. As many expats have mentioned, there are many areas where volunteering is welcome - Mexicans are not very altruistically minded and especially here where I live it is a difficult concept. So my aim has been to involve as many locals as I can. Many are glad to help, just show them how. Mexico has taught me so much - things I would never have learned in the other countries I have lived in. lucillevanstraaten
