According to Fernando Zamora Rubio, former president of the Mexican Association of Real Estate Professionals of Tijuana (AMPI), Baja California does not have the houses of interest necessary to meet the demand.

The expert said that the entity needs more real estate that can be accessed by workers who receive a salary of less than 12 thousand pesos per month. He also pointed out that this situation worsens for citizens who earn less than 8 thousand pesos per month.

“The average value of an affordable home is 445 thousand pesos. 63% of workers earn less than 11 thousand pesos, so it is difficult for them to access a home.

To this problem, the former head added that during 2021, there was a 10.5% increase in housing prices in Baja California, derived from the increase in the costs of new homes, according to data from the Price Index of the Mortgage Society Federal.

For Zamora Rubio, it is necessary to build 27,000 homes that can help formal workers who do not have their own assets.

"The problem is doubled when the informal economy is added, which are people who are not active in social security or Infonavit."

On the other hand, the president of the Tijuana National Chamber of the Housing Development and Promotion Industry (Canadevi), José Alejandro Jiménez López, pointed out the importance of rethinking current housing models.

“Baja California can no longer grow horizontally like ten years ago, because it is a failed model. We have to grow vertically.”

The president invited developers to redensify Tijuana, following the example of other cities such as Querétaro, Monterrey or Guadalajara.

One aspect that would improve, he pointed out, would be the distribution of services such as water, drainage, security or even garbage collection.

However, he added that this must be done accompanied by good planning. He suggested that in order to achieve this, the resources that are paid for rights be invested in urban infrastructure.
