[QUOTE=TitanTool;6380224]I frequently take a 2 hour lunch break and go bang a lady.[/QUOTE]Brilliant! I live in CV and have GE, so I think this is very feasible, especially now that PedWest is open until 2 pm. 30 min total to drive, park, cross, and walk to ZN. One hour of mongering. 30 min door-to-door return trip.
Heading accross the border but I don't plan on bringing my car. Do you have any advice on which lots to avoid leaving my car at as I'll be in TJ for a whole week.

I think the parking closet to the border is like 100 overnight.

Trolley will cost you a few dollars but parking is free and you can park overnight with no problem.

I won't be able to leave it there for a week.

I bet you could get away with a couple days but it may be pushing your luck to go for longer. Residential area street parking and Uber to the border might be better.
I think you're technically only supposed to leave a car on the street in SD for 72 hours but I find it hard to believe they would do anything about it that quickly unless you're in La Jolla or something.

I want to go to Hong Kong but I usually go with a group of people and this is the first time I want to go alone but I don't know how to get there without having the fear of getting robbed or worse. Can you guys give me ideas and tip of to get there quick and safe as possible front to back, I do have a car but I don't want to cross it into tj so I prob want to take a taxi if worse on foot. I know what I need to cross back since I have my passport but the main thing is getting to HK. Thanks much appreciated.

There's lots of taxi in front of HK when you want go back to the border. It's about $6–$7 to get back to the border.

Uber is cheaper but not sure if they have access to the area right after the border crossing.
Daytime is OK for walking across to HK, nightime forget about it.
I've walked a few times to HK when I needed the exercise.

Just go up to them and say "Hong Kong" - most will try to quote you anywhere between $7-10. You can haggle a few bucks or just take the cab.
It really is safe to walk there in the daytime. You can cross at PedWest until 2 PM. When you exit the CBP building cross the Puente Chaparral over the river, then you cross another road and walk thru a couple of commercial / retail district until you reach the arch. Then you're only two blocks away. The taxi libres cost 150 pesos ($7) for Zona Norte and Zona Rio.

It will probably be a 20 minute walk. But there's a few areas that you would have to walk through that aren't the safest.
Totally agree with taking the limo. The HK limo office is just outside Ped East. I have done taxis, too, but this is the best option.
