9/10/2019Only the rich move and can afford to live in Santa Fe. World class art and opera. Who cares only the rich buy the art and go to the Opera. When was the last time you bought art and went to the opera. What a joke...really who cares. The property taxes are not that low and the state taxes everything including pensions, income and social security. If you have millions of dollars it makes a big difference. Your ski season is short really and pitiful. Santa Fe ski gets a little over 200" inches a year. I live near Lake Tahoe which is a premere Mountain resort meca. In 2019 most ski resorts received well over 500" of snow and some near 600". They skied till June. New Mexico is a joke compared to Lake Tahoe and REno area. Who cares about suit and ties....no one wears them now anyway...not sure rational on your thinking.

9/9/2019B in austin. The only people who can afford to live in Santa FE are the rich. I checked out a local Real Estate Broker blog on his web site. Not much inventory below $495 K which is all gobbled up really quick. Everything above that $500 k point is not affordable by most. The sales tax is almost 9 %. All income is taxed, including Social security, dividends, capital gains, pensions and everything else. I live in Nevada which taxes no income. You also have an inheritance tax. Nothing like this in Nevada. My property tax is only $800 and my registration is only $7 because of military exemptions. Nothing like that in New Mexico, yeah really. NM sucks and keeps sucking. I looked at events and festivals in Reno NV. It is a booklet of 28 pages with hundreds of events going on. I looked at Santa Fe and they had about 25. Did you know Reno was voted by outside magazine as the 10 best place in America to live becaue of the activities. Santa Fe did not make nor did anyplace in NM. Did you know Reno was just voted as the 13th most friendleist place to live in USA. Again nothing in NM. Did you know Nevada created the most jobs in all America in 2019 and the second most place people move to. Las Vegas in June had over 6.1 million visitors. NM only gets a couple of million people a year. Again NM sucks and sucks. More poverty and more crime than any place in America.
