Quite honestly the best stuff out here is the mountains the bluffs and the balloons...... The desert can get very boring very quickly and a lot of the major interstates are on that ground because it is flat and easy to build a highway on.

Naw you are wrong about that.


There are some questionable pockets in town. The worst part of town is east of I-25 and south of central ave, but it is worse as you get further east (basically past San Mateo) until it just flip flops into an expensive neighborhood.

I feel like @Hbkrusso is someone that knows how ta mind his own business, which is a really good trait to have in New Mexico.

Was speaking to a co-worker about this about a month before the election. He was a "hired gun" contracted by the owner for the duration of the project we were on. He was a native Iowan, who grew up in his words, "a hundred miles away from shit in every direction." He left Iowa and settled in Frisco, TX around 1980. He said there were less than 10,000 people there. Frisco just crossed the 220,000 threshold. He hates it, and said the long time Texans he knows hate it as well for two reasons: one, is they realize that eventually, the population growth will make everything more expensive, just like every other populous area where there is a demand to live and work. Two, was that the newcomers are largely not conservative voters, and are changing the politics in Texas as well.

This is the same game corporations have been playing for a long time. When workers in places like Paterson, NJ unionized, the companies packed up and went to Alabama, where there was little union presence. When it was feasible, they moved the plants to Mexico, and shortly after to China.

The right always celebrates the race to the bottom as a validation of their beliefs.

It's depressing that the connection of two threads one the same forum, one complaining about the rampant homelessness in the richest country in the world and another about corporations running away to get out of paying good wages and taxes and avoiding any pesky health and environmental laws that get in the way of their greed is lost in the shuffle...

I’m moderate, so disclaimer but Austin has turned into a shit show. Native Texans do not want Californians here. “Don’t California my Texas” is a saying. I’m in San Antonio and the growth here is crazy.

Austin Is always gonna be Austin, great music scene but could never live there.
