2/14/2017Yes believe it!! I've lived here all my 60 years and Jay covers the niceties very well. BUT in the long run, NO ONE is really safe here anymore. I'm of Spanish descent and have the DNA to prove it. We go back hundreds of years. Our roots run very deep and I'm ready to LEAVE. That's how bad it is. Hell, I'd move to Texas if I could be safe in my community and that's anathema for a Native New Mexican to say.

2/14/2017What a joke. Abq may be a $#!+hole but we DO NOT have KKK here. Racism does exist though covertly.

My hometown used to be awesome now it's a $#!+hole -
2/14/2017Don't move here. I've lived here all my life and have adored my hometown. Now I'm looking to get out. First of all, if you don't like south of the border, this is not the place for you. This whole area is 3rd world basically. They have taken over many neighborhoods and whole sectors of business like road work, construction of all kinds, janitorial, they are now Kings of the used auto business. You cannot win against them because they undercut you. Car thieves thrive here. The judges let them out too quick. Home invasions sky high, home burglary, murder, same. The streets are full of vagrants, drunks, meth heads, mentally ill just wandering around like zombies. Home of Breaking Bad for real. My once beautiful home town is now Les Miserables. A real outhouse. It's so sad. The mayor sucks and does what he wants. He is tearing up the historic Route 66 bus line even though we citizens DO NOT want it. Businesses are shuttered along the construction line. The ART transit line he's putting in will be a psych ward on wheels which no decent citizen will ride. All the drunks, meth heads, mentally ill get free bus passes and will be on it all day. Too many people on state benefits. NO area is safe not even the expensive ones. Do not move here if you are looking for a good place to live.
