Every time I visit the State I think how nice it seems.  I just got back from looking at homes in the Rio Rancho area for my Step daughter & her family (her husband's sister live in Alb.).  I thought to myself,  I could live here (except for the State Politics).  And when I research the gun laws, they really don't seem that bad?  Also the area's I went through, sure seemed nicer than Tucson.  I know the area is pretty Hispanic (I'm white), but being from So. Cal, I'm kind of use to that.  I also liked the idea of 4 seasons vs. extremely hot or nice.

So what can you tell me about Rio Rancho?

It's a shithole, just like Albuquerque.

We're moving from the Taylor Ranch area of NW Albq to just outside of Showlow.

New Mexico is a lost cause.
