re: Land of Entrapment? Maybe... - 2/18/2012 Listen to Heidi please and most all posters!! She right on the money. Just avoid the state. It's beautiful but not worth living here. It's very cliquish(I has always has been this way) and with the economy not being great here you'll have a hard time finding a job with or without education. If you were offered a job before you get here that's a different story. This is not a place you want to raise you child. Keep a close eye on them. Just because it's laid back and not a large city do not be fooled. We have a lot gangs/criminals coming from California(we have enough of our own!) trying to avoid their third strike and the politicians continue to block laws that would stop the high crime; it will be California number two soon. We have no death penalty anymore. They won't even deal with drunk driving.However, this would make sense. Judges, politicians etc have been caught numerous times. If you come you'll be coming to a place that finally decided to do something with a drunk driver on his 27th DUI!!!. Cost of living is cheap but for the most part the schools are bad. Some one in previous comments said people seem unhappy and angry. This is true. And if they see you're happy they'll try to bring you down. Positive people stick with positive people(there are good people here as with any place)here and there's lots of mental illness here. And lots of abuse (spousal or child). People seem to love the animals more than humans. On a positive note, if you like the outdoors you'll find many things to do like camping and riding off road bikes. We're abundant in sunshine most days out of the year. There are a lot of talented artist and musician here. You'll see art in the local paper and in Santa Fe and around. If politics is your concern, we have a Republican governor but is constantly blocked in some way by the Democratic controllers. They have been in control for years. You you don't know what a place is like until you live in it and this state does not get near as much exposure for the corruption (on all levels) as other states do; it's as if people for get it exist. People for the most part do not fight it much or at all either. Nowhere is a utopia but please think twice before moving here if you have many of the concern listed in the comments of this post and other. And if you notice almost all of the comments almost have the same theme. Unfortunately on another forum(one major one I can think of) they do not tell the negative and if posters see a negative poster they're called a troll etc. I think it's important give both sides to give people a fair opinion of what's going on. But hey it's just my view.
