Not the place to raise a family...

I lived in Silver City from 2nd grade through my sophomore year in high school. Yes, Silver has arguably the greatest geographic location of any city in the state..The town is great for hiking, biking, bouldering, camping, fishing, just about anything for an outdoor enthusiast. However, it has a dark underbelly of crime, gangs, drugs and corrupt government. I have a lot of fond memories of being really young in Silver. We lived on 5 acres when I was in elementary school and it was great. I have watched so many people's lives be sucked into the troubles of Silver..maybe it is a great place to retire, where you don't have to be involved in it's problems but, I would never ever recommend raising a family in this town.
