Albuquerque, NM
Dangerous Place -
7/20/2015I've lived in 18 different places due to numerous military transfers during my career, and ABQ has been my current location for the past several years. The longer I live here the less comfortable I feel about the area due to rampant crime and dangerous, aggressive drivers that habitually run red lights.
I don't know where I'll be going next but there's no way I'm staying here when I retire. It seems a lot of people have this feeling since more are moving out of rather than moving in.
Another deterrent to living here is the incredible number of drunk drivers, especially ones that have been arrested for it multiple times but still drive drunk.
There seems to be little regard for others around this town and the habitual criminal offenders have the police on their heels.
One of the people posting said "if you don't like it, move." That's what I'll be doing along with an ongoing caravan of people who have been living in fear for their safety. Congratulations ABQ, you get your wish, the criminals are staying and the law abiding people are moving on to safer places around the country.
