Seems to me that with those vendors selling right there in front of the basketball court that they could be brought about to pay their taxes. And in front of the police area should have been easier. If they were not paying there then it should not matter where they are. The problem is the same. I just know that for the ambiance of Zihua on Sunday night...on the Zocolo was the best place IMO.

And as far as not happy with any vendor not paying taxes...that all sort of goes along with the problems we have here. Some people pay and some don't. If it is you paying the bill for someone else no one is happy about that. (Not using the word meaning Rob) Just in general.

I don't mind tax exemptions for folks barely getting by, and I have nothing against ambulantes, but when they are allowed to sell products sold in stores literally right in front of where they work then it is not right and it is not fair and it hurts the local economy and the community.

The problem is sistemic, just like the hillside invasions, and really anything remotely related to applying the law. The only "tax" many ambulantes pay is the bribe money to the city officials in Reglamentos in order to operate. As long as "public service" in Guerrero is seen as a license to steal nothing will change and we will imitate every mistake made in Acapulco. How I hope I'm wrong.
