Are there any existing startup communities by the beach in Mexico? I can't think of a more ideal way to work for a few months (for those of us without families or who otherwise can't move around).
I doubt it, but there are a lot of gated communities in Baja where Americans own homes and they have private security guards. I'm not sure of the safety record of these places, but I think there are some that are pretty secured, you just don't necessarily want to leave the complex and travel to these places can be a bit sketchy. I took a bus down to Rosarito once and not sure I'd want to go back there again.
Which Mexico are you talking about? The one with millions upon millions of independent taco stands, repair shops, tianguis, ciber cafes, roving traditional music bands, and drug cartels?
Sure, internet startup culture hasn't taken the place as far as Silicon Valley yet, but entrepreneurial culture isn't what's lacking.

Not that I know. Most start ups in Mexico are in bigger cities, but in any case we still lack an entrepreneurial culture.
