**Title: Hundreds of Residential Developments Await Handover to Tijuana Municipality**
Tijuana is experiencing significant delays in the formal handover of its residential developments to the local municipality, according to Xavier Ibarra Quintana, the president of the city’s Housing Development and Promotion Industry Chamber [Canadevi]. While seven developments are ready to be transferred, Ibarra Quintana reports that a total of 600 developments have historically been withheld from municipal control, exacerbating public service issues.
Ibarra Quintana explains that these developments, some dating back to the time of the Revolución, including areas like Colonia Cacho, remain pending due to a lack of formal submission to city authorities. Despite a July agreement between Canadevi and the current administration, which aimed to streamline the handover process, most developments lack basic public amenities such as trash collection and streetlight maintenance.
The housing organization has sorted its associated projects into three categories: those ready for transfer, those in progress, and those whose processes are yet to begin. Xavier Ibarra Quintana emphasized the importance of ensuring completed projects are transferred without unnecessary delays.
In an effort to address these issues, the current administration led by Ismael Burgueño plans to continue the handover process for the seven developments in conjunction with five major development companies. A recent communiqué from the municipal government indicates that only about 205 of over 1,000 developments have been formally received, equivalent to just 20% of total residential areas in the city. The city has initiated a program aiming to accelerate this process, with an ongoing focus on older neighborhoods like Libertad and Madero.
**Secondary Update: Rising Costs of Living Keep Young Adults at Home**
In a related socioeconomic trend, a significant shift in living patterns is being observed, with more young adults choosing to remain with their parents. The rising costs of housing in Tijuana have been a decisive factor, according to Canadevi. With property prices ranging from $200 to $1,500 per square meter, many young individuals are finding it difficult to move into their own homes, prompting a delay in their independence.
