      To prove the superior beauty of the eastern side of the US.

        I think I'm outgrowing Apolyton.

          We all think that at some point.

          Don't worry, you'll get over it.

              Yes, of course.

                Isn't the first page image a photo of Bill Gate's garden complex?

                  Since I live about 20 minutes from where that picture was taken I can tell you the Mexican side is the one with the all the houses on it. The US side has nothing there because it is Border Field State Park and the Taijuana River County Park. Unfortunately, illegal aliens camp out there and their camp fires end up burning out of control on a fairly regular basis. That's why nothing is growing there.

                    Form the better economy, duh.

                    What you are seeing in the photo is urban planning and open space being preserved on one side while the other side has no building zones or building codes which are enforced so you get uncontrolled urban sprawl and shanty towns. Believe it or not that's some of the best parts of TJ right there.

                      When it isn't burned down it looks something like this photo taken at Torrey Pines State Park about 20 miles up the coast.

                          That's uncontrolled urban sprawl? The average European city could only be envious at such orderliness.

                            Remember you are looking a tiny part of TJ closest to the ocean (read most expensive part of city).
