Lousy drivers and up friendliest city I have ever
-
8/27/2014
I have lived here three years, and I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this city to anyone. Drivers here consider traffic signals mere suggestions, and it is not at all unusual to see people completely ignore stop signs and red lights. Drunk driving is rampant. Our first week here, four people were killed in drunk driving accidents. And yet, Gov. Martinez would have the roads be even unsafer by refusing to allow illegal immigrants to get drivers licenses, showing utter disregard for the safety of those of us who are legal residents.
Then, there is the low pay and high cost of rentals and housing. And let's not forget the high crime rate.
Further, people here are quite unfriendly. Unfriendlier and less inclusive than any place I have ever lived. In fact, I'd say if you weren't born here, haven't lived here for decades or didn't go to UNM, your chances of making friends is quite minimal.
The older neighborhoods like Ridgecrest, Huning Castle and Nob Hill are lovely. Otherwise, the city is quite unattractive.
