El Paso, Tx is not all bad. It has a nice climate, if you like HOT. But El Paso is Land locked, the closet large city is 4-6 hours away. Jobs are hard to find here. And unless you know Spanish, you wont find anything at all. El Paso already has major traffic problems, and with 40-80 thousand more military families coming to El Paso by 2008, the roads will be heck to traverse. And any job opertunities will be even harder to find. El Paso has little to any green, like grass trees etc.. and the Rio-grand is about empty since New Mexico has it all damed up, Mexicans can just walk across without any effort at all. Gang activity is on the rise, and the low economy also breads many projects and crime activities. Crime is also on the rise, Home prices are also on the rise, homes near where I live are in the 160-240 thousand range, where they used to be 40-60K. The Local area public schools are a joke and education is poor. El Paso, is 77% hispanic arcording to various web sites.. but that is only because most hispanics do not fill out the census, either because they are illegal, or fear the goverment, and the percentage is much higher. Unless you are forced to move to El Paso by a Military or business move, I would consider not moving here.
