Any real concerns w/ security level from US State dept

The state department warning has been in place for all of the area has been in place for several years. While there is cartel activity, it has not involved citizens with one notable exception in Ixtapa, which, as I understand it, involved a failure in payment for a “lady of the evening.” We stay in La Ropa and frequently walk downtown, for the past few years, we have chosen to taxi back to the hotel at night because there have been a few robberies of folks and one shooting of folks walking along the La Ropa road.
