9/2/2014Totally agree with all your comments. It's boring and depressing here and I can not wait to get out of New Mexico either. This is the worst place I have ever lived.

Do not move here -
9/2/2014There are so many problems here - it's depressing. Poverty: something like 54% of the population is on welfare. Economically, no major corporations or jobs here. Other than the military money coming into the state, it's just call center, fast food type jobs. If you have blond hair and blue eyes you are discriminated against, people will be mean or cold towards you.
Crime is out of control. Robbery and burglary is rampant . Everyone hates the police but they're half crazy too. The schools have no money and children here have major issues at home with drug addicted parents or worse. People are aggressive and nasty here. Politicians are frequently in the news stealing money, lying and cheating what few citizens here actually PAY income taxes.
If you like gardens or plants, forget it. Nothing grows here.
Central avenue ( Rt. 66 ) is full of drunks, drug addicts and hookers. I am constantly approached by creepy, scary people for money.
There is nothing to do here. It's boring and depressing. One has to drive for hours and hours to get out of this state. Airline tickets are always more expensive flying out of here and even Southwest Airlines is limiting their flights as of October. Other airlines, like Frontier have packed up and left entirely.
I hate it here. I am praying every day that I can leave ASAP.
