There must be something in the water!
- 4/8/2011
I don't see why any sane person would want to live here. The school system here is a disgrace(except for the university), the weather is horrible, everything is brown brown brown. Everything around just seems dead. There are SOO many mobile homes it's shocking and not even nice ones. At least 60% of the population here are on wellfare, foodstamps, medicaid, etc. and they come from generations were being on government assistance is the norm! they don't better them selves just to be able to get government assistance. There are "cholos" on every corner, dirty sloppy fat rude hispanic people that don't even deserve to be called a true mexican. The hispanics here are the equivalent of a hillbily! I am a mexican woman that was raised in Baja California, Mexico and I'm embarrased to be associated with the hispanics here. The mexican food isn't very good, what matters most here is the spicyness rather than the flavor. Most people here have the walmart mentality, they don't support the farmers

Clear Skies and Mild Winters

The summer temperatures may approach 100 degrees a couple times but is very tolerable due to the low relative humidity around 20. Clear skies more than 90 percent of the time adds to the charm of living in Las

We moved to Las Cruces from Los Angeles. We missed the big city stuff like large varieties of restaurant and eateries. The LC star filled nights are beautiful.

question about wind and water
- 6/12/2008
I've heard some comments about the wind and I'd like to know just how windy and how often. Is it dusty? Also is there a water aquifer and how easy is it to drill a well or is all water supplied from the local reservoir?
thanks!
