I have an opportunity to move my family to a small town in the Albuquerque metro area of New Mexico in the near future. Been doing research for the last few days... everything that's important to us looks as good or even better overall than Texas, where we are currently living (low gun regulation, education freedom, low income and property taxes, barebones local government) and even the weather seems very mild compared to the deserty reputation NM has... 17 degrees in the winter, 85 in the summer, really? The tract of land we would be developing seems well suited to gardening--12 feet deep of riverbottom silt and well-water from a mountain-fed aquifer far larger than the population of the area could ever use.

We are all more than willing to learn spanish, the only real drawback i see is the near total lack of trees, but if it was perfect then there would be lots of people living there and property values would be much higher.

I just wanted to get a lay of the land from current or former LOPer residents of the Albuquerque area. Pro or con, stuff you wouldnt know until you had lived there for a while, and stuff that only conspiracy weirdos tend to care about.

people's heads seem to detach in that southern part of the world. it would seem hard to enjoy the beauty of the area without a head. just sayin.
