New Mexico robbed me of 5 years of my life - 10/22/2014
Somehow ended up in New Mexico. This was the worst decision I've ever made.
After the allure of Santa Fe wore off (the facade doesn't last long--your realize it's full of rich white people, passive aggressive natives, and the poorest of the poor--and the art? That's terrible, too.), I moved to Albuquerque to try to start a new career as a nurse. I've never been more depressed, more anxious, more frightened that I would succumb to the pit of hell that is New Mexico. New Mexico is full of thieves, swindlers, and people perfectly content to sit in their mediocrity. If you need to get anything done, from renewing your car registration to paying tuition to getting your toilet fixed by a landlord or plumber---the infrastructure does not exist...at least not in the way it should. You will be cheated. You will be taken advantage of. You will not get want you need. Nothing makes sense there, as nobody follows the law, or even just common sense and decency; it's the wild west, and

Dry and sunny - 1/27/2013
For the most part, NM has wonderful weather. Lots of sunny days with bright blue skies and no humidity! However, if you have something like dry eye syndrome, this may not be a good place for you to

New Mexico - 10/18/2012
SperlingView, I'm so happy to read your response because it totally echos mine -- minus the daughter on the way to college. I knew I would live in NM at the age of 12 when my parents allowed me and 2 cousins to take a train ride to CA to visit my aunt. The train stopped in ALBQ and we were allowed to get off for a while. I almost missed the back on part, as I was in awe of what I saw. I have never lost that vision and someday I knew I would live in NM. I currently in Chicago and also on the early retirement track. I've been a lot of places and seen a lot of faces and not much phases me either. I'm totally about clean living, museums, theatre, good conversation and decent people. Perhaps we can compare notes, as I am planning a visit mid-year 2013.

Best Places to Live - Santa Fe, NM - 8/15/2012
New review for Ida. I've lived in New Mexico off and on since 2003 and have been coming through this area for even longer. I have my vacation home here due to a seasonal gallery but would never live here permanently. It has changed so much from the New Mexico that I once knew. It is now a tourist trap and the locals that once made this place what it was are no longer here. They've moved. I just bought a lake cabin in Tennessee and am now looking for a place in Italy for retirement. That's not for everybody but what I am saying is that New Mexico is all but "enchanting." I hate it here and have tried to find reasons to stay. The only reason? The tourists. My gallery does well with a captured audience but you will only find me here May through September. Otherwise I am gone. I know you're from Texas and most Texans either come to New Mexico or Colorado but both states are not what they used to be. I lived in Colorado for 20 years and left because there are just too many

searching for a new place to live - 5/28/2012
we have been in Santa Fe with our RV. Enjoy the climate and the beauty of the Santa Fe area. Trying to find out where to put down our roots. Northern New Mexico is very beautiful but does have its' challenges.

I traded my birthplace SF CA for an improvement in - 12/4/2009
I came to NM 13 yrs. ago. I was able to purchase acreage at 500.00 per acre and build an adobe home for under 30k. I escaped the greedy loan sharks and liberated myself from landlords after spending in my 25 yrs. over 150k in rent. I live more, work less and my house is paid for.I have solar hence no utility companies and 100.00 a month in propane and wood costs and a flat rate 35.00 month in a phone bill. The people are nice and more real as are the politicians compared to Caliwood. Never thought I would find a place preferable to Cali. and when I miss the more temperate climate and go back to visit, I am reminded of the horrendous traffic,over crowdedness,lack of breatheable clean air and prevailant gang activity. NM is rated as poor, econmically but it is rich in community, family values and more people are down to earth. I and many here are living proof that you can get out from underneathe the economic slavery.My friends in Calli thought I was a wingnut but now as they are facing

Land of EnTRAPment - 9/17/2009
New Mexico is a beautiful state but the beauty is not worth living here. Crime is up, there are lots of immigrants who drive without a license and cause lots of accidents, DWI is a serious issue. In Albuquerque, (the largest city) there is nothing to do but drink if you are young. Downtown has a few bars but gets very boring after a few times. If you do go downtown some drunk idiot will most likely try picking a fight whit you or someone else. The only activities to do are some concerts, the state fair, watch a movie, go to a Lobo game or get outta town! Jobs are hard to come by and Santa Fe is the only place to work if you want to make a decent living but you will end up paying an arm and a leg just to be able to live in the "bad part" of town. If you enjoy hiking there are many trails you can go on plus some hot springs but honestly not worth
