Everything above 70 meters is a land invasion in what should be Zihuatanejo's protected ecological zone. Many of those invasions had a school built for them with help from foreigners. Beginning about 12 years ago the local government illegally changed the zoning to allow both the land invaders on one side of the bay and the luxury developments on the other. Since then the local government has declared some of those invasions "legal", and dangles the prospect of regularization of others in front of other invaders like candy in front of a baby, especially during election times as we are currently in, but the good citizens of Zihuatanejo don't consider a declaration by an allegedly corrupt government to be anything legally binding but rather just another ploy to manipulate the land invaders, who didn't just grow there like mushrooms but whom ALL came from somewhere else that they could go back to, including locals who knowingly broke the law to acquire cheap land. It's worth mentioning that the church of the Jehovah's Witnesses threatens to expel them if they participate in any land invasions.

You'll notice there are no invaders in Ixtapa or on ejido lands. Only on lands where the municipal government is responsible for enforcing the law. But as every local knows, no laws are enforced here when a political advantage can be gained such as by being able to manipulate groups of voters, so that's why there are now thousands and thousands of squatter homes scattered around our hillsides with more everyday. Meanwhile the needs of the good and decent law-abiding citizens throughout Zihuatanejo and high into our sierra go unattended, though most communities will get a cursory visit with cheap gifts and worthless promises from candidates while they are campaigning.
