Rosarito Beach in Baja California has sure received some bad press lately. However, I live here full-time and I must tell you...there is no better place on this earth to live. I feel safe and I love the warmth of the local Mexican population. You might be interested to know that there are over 15,000 Americans living in this corridor as well. Let's not forget that Rosarito is only 20 miles south of the U.S./Mexico border and only 30 miles from downtown San Diego. Major U.S. chain stores, Walmart, Costco, Big Lots, Macy's and others are right across the border.
The nice part about living in the Rosarito area is that you can get a great ocean view condo, townhome or house for under $200,000. If you want to be right on the water with amazing ocean, island and sunset vistas there are many oceanfront condos available from the low $200K's.

There were a few problems with the coverage.
First, the 21-year-old student had been in Rosarito only five days – a very common spring break stay – and classmates had seen him in Rosarito the same day the stories broadcast. He returned home the next day.

The young man's parents, who went to the media, weren't to blame for the premature and damaging broadcasts. It is natural for parents to worry and express concerns. The blame falls on media that use far different standards when it relates to Baja California coverage.
This use of double standards did not begin or end with the “missing student” story, nor is it unprecedented. But the most vivid examples began appearing last year and have developed into an ongoing trend
