Zihua pier

Such a waste of resources, precious time and for what?
That’s really taking away the unique old look and vibe just to pour concrete and new building that probably won’t make any positive statement.
I assume there’s not a community vote on what projects should be approved or not in Zihua ..

You assume correctly. It's something more and more people are clamoring for since this and the previous municipal administration (husband and wife) have abused their positions to the extreme and greatly enhanced their personal fortune remodeling the downtown waterfront (where they needlessly killed too many iconic palm and almendro trees and paved over 3 meters of the beach from one end to the other and destroyed two lovely garden areas that had shade trees, now shadeless hot cement plazas), the walkway to La Madera (almost everything that was planted has died), the La Ropa road to the highway (mostly a scam to try to build a hotel at Playa Manzanillo that has been stopped for now), the bicycle path to Ixtapa (mostly not necessary), El Partenón (now a double monument to PRI corruption), the dead-end road to Capricho del Rey (a needless project and recognized ecocide), the market and walkway to the pier in Ixtapa (totally unnmecessary), the pier in Ixtapa (such a terrible job that it has to be redone), the pier in Zihuatanejo (not what anyone expected and it's already in poor condition), the pedestrian streets downtown (totally unnecessary), and Ixtapa's largest plaza that now no longer has its trademark gazebo (this latest one, along with the pier, besides being unnecessary, has really pissed off a lot of people).
