Pros and Cons - 11/8/2019
As a 35 year old, lifetime resident of Las Cruces I have seen this town grow A LOT from when I was 10 years old.
Unfortunately, the crime has gone up quite a bit but that is expected with a growing city. What I didn't expect was how much shootings and murders have happened in 2019. I'm not sure if the rate has gone up or if the Las Cruces Sun News started reporting on every one that occurs now. They have happened in the poverty stricken neighborhoods between people that are known criminals, usually drug dealers and drug addicts and a rare innocent person or two.
It's sad to see that while this city continues to grow, (a lot of growth due to the retirees that come to live here) the job market is horrible. You can have a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry a masters in english and end up working at a call center for years. If people with degrees can't find decent jobs for their education level how are people with only a high school diploma or G.E.D going to fare?
