Feeling Zih Love

Excerpt from your post:
...."While there remain some complicated matters to resolve, I believe many if not most of Zihuatanejo's downtown residents have noticed a sea change with the arrival of the new administration. Not only are things getting done that went mostly unattended in previous administrations, but they are getting done with care."........

I have also perceived that, at the least, your new administration is most definitely "on-the-job" and tackling problems as well as they are able, that "went mostly unattended in previous administrations".
El Lic. Jorge Sánchez appears to be well organized and is ambitious in attending his job.

Though for example:
At el Zócalo (aka La Cancha) there are a few bench seats that are in dilapidated condition (green metallic ones & a few others) that have been like that for several YEARS and should have already been either repaired or replaced by this time, some 3 months now into the new administration.
To have those "furnishings" in a popular centrally located spot in an international 1st (or close to) class tourist destination, I.M.O., leaves a bad image, shows neglect by the local authorities, and is just plain unacceptable.
Paying attention to details, however minor they may be, reflects being attentive & responsible.

I have already suggested to the Gobierno de Zihuatanejo via their FB publications, that they replace those with bench seats similar to the new ones shown in a few of your photos of the newly constructed seaside path en route to la playa de La Madera.

Besides that, there are obvious "pie-in-your-face" situations of IMPUNITY, ILLEGALITY & what appears to be CORRUPTION going on, which as you know, that I am not in favor of and just doesn't sit well with me. I won't go into details here, though.
There are many who are able to tolerate or ignore those issues, but I am not one of them.
