Comments on: Obra Suspendida http://www.yucatanliving.com/real-estate-yucatan/inah-in-mexico.htm Online magazine about living, working and traveling in Merida and the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico.

We were in horror that a huge radio tower might be built down the block. The neighbors got together, wrote a letter, etc. and the work was stopped. A few months later, work started again a block away. And the neighbors were a little worn down, so the protests were weaker. And the builders were forewarned, so they were stealthier. So the tower was built a block away, actually closer to most of us who were protesting, where it stands today. We tried fighting it, but honestly, they weren't in the least bit worried or afraid of the authorities, which lead us to believe that they were either in bed with them, or they WERE them. Either way, it is what it is. Downtown Merida has skinny little radio and cel phone towers where it once had windmills. At some point, the Meridanos will decide they don't like them, or they will become obsolete, or a hurricane will blow them all down. Life goes on...

Sounds like a good idea to me. So for the people in El Centro who have written to INAH, etc. etc. you might want to also write to the CFE.
