I understand your concerns, @joelopez3528. Albuquerque has seen a lot of changes, and it can be frustrating when it feels like the community is shifting in a direction you don’t support. It’s important to have open discussions about these topics to find common ground. What specific issues are you seeing that are bothering you?

@JulieBall-dg2ci • 2 days ago I hear you, @JulieBall-dg2ci. What specific solutions or approaches do you think could help improve the situation?

I understand your frustration, @vyshawnvillagomez6427. It can be tough when new residents seem to change the character of neighborhoods. Many people are concerned about preserving the local culture and community. What do you think would help maintain the essence of the area while still accommodating growth?

...times have changed, now it's fentanyl, fentanyl, fentanyl, and more fentanyl

@Bigweave74 • 4 days ago It’s definitely a serious issue, @Bigweave74. What do you think are some effective strategies to combat this problem?

I understand your concerns, @marqueswilsonn. Many people feel that the influx of new residents can lead to changes in local policies and community dynamics. It’s important to have conversations about how to preserve the values of the community while accommodating growth. What do you think could be done to address these concerns?

@@AllAboutABQ no California immigration of course.

Thank you for watching 👍

Thank you for watching 👍

So glad you've found a place that suits you so well!

That’s a good point, @robertmeyers3640! New Mexico has some beautiful lakes and rivers, but it’s definitely missing that ocean vibe. The landscapes are unique in their own way, though! Do you have a favorite spot in NM that you enjoy visiting?

Hi @rafaelspillers6561 I can see how some people might feel that way. Every city has its ups and downs. What specifically do you find challenging about Albuquerque?

Hey @himynameis6502 That’s exciting! Moving to Albuquerque will be such a big change, and it sounds like you’re ready for it! What are you looking forward to the most about living in the Duke City?

@@AllAboutABQ That’s a great question! There are sooo many! Looking forward to a more relaxed lifestyle, outdoor activities, the food and culture, all 4 seasons, 20 million less in population, manageable traffic, cheaper cost of living, the proximity to other states, and not having hurricanes!! There is plenty more, but those were what came to me at time of reply. I enjoy following this channel and learning more about our soon-to-be new hometown. Keep up the great work and thank you!

Hey @MCJSA That sounds wonderful! It’s great to hear how your family has enjoyed Albuquerque over the years. Having a steady stream of visitors must have made for some great memories! What are some of your favorite things to do in the city?

@@AllAboutABQ Well, we're from Dallas and had been visiting New Mexico since the mid 60's so were quite familiar with the state, particularly Northern NM. I expecially like the ability to see out of the city from almost anywhere - North to the Sangre de Christo range north of Santa Fe, West to Mt Taylor about 100 miles away, also, and, of course Sandia to the East. I don't feel boxed in like in other big cities I've lived in that seem to go on for miles and miles, endlessly. I also like the micro climates around ABQ. Rio Rancho is high desert but over toward the foothills it's very green and lush - almost like Dallas. Then there is the North and South Valley, and the upper east side escarpment - all different climates and environments. This, too, is unique and unlike any other city I know. For things to do, the museums are top notch as is the biopark. Many of the recreational facilities are free or very reasonably priced, and you can get day passes to the museums from the library - all you need is a library card. New Mexico is one of America's best kept secrets.

Hey @resolving_boris That’s interesting! It’s good to hear you adapted well to Denver. Nosebleeds can be a common issue with the dry air, especially when adjusting. Do you have any tips for others who might be moving to high-altitude areas?

Hi @abel5925 I'm so glad to hear that my videos helped you in your decision! Los Lunas is a beautiful area with a lot to offer. How are you liking it so far?

@@AllAboutABQ I love it here, I commute to ABQ for work and it’s short. It’s nice and calm, no real crime down here. There’s some developments going up and we chose one of the new DR Horton communities. Great little place. Reminds me of Colorado Springs or Tucson back in the day

Hi @TiiiBiiiMeows I'm glad you love it! What specifically resonates with you? I'd love to hear more about what you enjoy!

Hi @TiiiBiiiMeows I appreciate your perspective! LA definitely has its unique vibe and experiences. What do you think are some of the biggest differences for someone moving there?

Hi @jeffreywhite7064 It's great that you’re starting your research! Moving can definitely feel overwhelming, especially from Sacramento. As for the snow, it can be a bit much at times, but many people adapt and find it beautiful. Have you both thought about the specific area you want to move to? That can make a big difference!

Thanks for the suggestion, Robert! A video on Albuquerque would be a great idea, especially for those who live there. I can cover topics like the housing market, local amenities, and community vibes. Is there anything specific you'd like to see in that video?

Thanks for taking the time to comment. 👍

Thank you for watching 👍

I remember ads like that from the state of Oregon, trying to convince people not to move there. If you like constant rain.... Come to Oregon!

Do you think there are particular neighborhoods in the area that might have more equestrian activity, or is it more of a rural vibe?

That's a solid point! San Diego definitely has some fantastic surf spots with great waves and a vibrant beach culture. Albuquerque, while a unique place, doesn't quite compare in terms of surfing. Have you had a chance to surf in both places, or do you have a favorite spot in San Diego?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! New Mexico definitely has its challenges, but some people appreciate its unique culture and landscapes. What specifically makes you feel that way? Is there another place you prefer instead?

That’s a notable mention, Curtis! New Mexico has a complex history, and it’s important to acknowledge all aspects of it. Do you think this impacts how people view the state overall?

Thanks for your input, Ginny! Southern New Mexico does have its own charm and community feel that some find appealing for retirement. It’s interesting to hear different perspectives on Albuquerque. What do you think makes southern NM a better choice for retirees?

What? Las Cruces? If you're a city slicker, you've got one option. I considered Las Vegas but seeing it is mostly boarded up.... and Santa Fe will cost you an arm and a leg. No thanks.

Hi @richards1191 That's definitely a good plan! Albuquerque, like most big cities, does have its crime hotspots, but as you mentioned, it’s all about perspective and the specific areas. Living outside the city on 100+ acres sounds like a peaceful way to enjoy New Mexico’s beauty! It’s always nice to have plenty of space between you and the neighbors. What areas are you considering for your move?

Hey @mrslavanderblu Haha, yeah classic Bugs Bunny! 🥕

Hey @mrslavanderblu, good question! There's no big fence separating New Mexico and Texas, but you might be thinking of some ranch properties along the border where fences are common to keep livestock in. Other than that, it's an open border between the two states.

Hi @TheUnholyPosole I get where you're coming from, trust can be tough to come by these days. That’s why I try to stick to the facts and provide as much clarity as possible in my videos. If there's ever anything you want to dig deeper into, I’m happy to discuss it further!

Hey @vegasstang1 Corrales is such a great spot and beautiful views and that peaceful vibe! Sounds like you’ve got the best of both worlds with a place in Las Vegas too. Escaping those chilly winters and windy springs must be nice! Do you spend more time in one place than the other?

@@AllAboutABQ We spend more time in Corrales. Our primary address is Corrales.

Corrales is awesome, especially at night. Pitch black and no streetlights. That'll keep the kids indoors. That, and the Ditch Witch. My 90 year old mom got a speeding ticket there driving 20 mph in a 15 mph zone. And, remember to stop for snakes. Bad luck otherwise.

@reyinfante5553 the 'International' Sunport! It may not have tons of international flights, but it’s got a lot of character! Plus, it’s super convenient for getting around the region. Hopefully, we'll see more global connections in the future! Have you had any interesting experiences flying through there?

Thank you for watching 👍

Bugs are typically mitigated by spraying and to be honest, we don’t much of an issue in most neighborhoods! Where is home for you currently?

@@AllAboutABQ home is in a suburb of Illinois but currently I reside in Springfield OR for work.

Sounds like classic state fair craziness! 😂 The lines can get pretty wild, but the honking if you're not bumper-to-bumper is next level! Hope you still had a good time @subarutime5089!

There are phenomenal opportunities for 55+ communities either on the west side of town in Northeast part of town or out in North Rio!

@@AllAboutABQ so the west part of the NE side of town?

@@arcr717 If you're looking for 55+ communities! Have you spent much time in ABQ previously?

@@AllAboutABQ yes..we are there 2x a year

When you’re ready to explore options, I’ll be happy to be a resource for you locally. I look forward to connecting with you on your next visit!

Hey @lupisebarber2248 I understand your concerns. Every city has its challenges, and Albuquerque is no exception. It’s important to address these issues to improve community conditions. If you have specific questions or need information on particular areas, feel free to ask!

Hi @richards1191. If you ever decide to come out, let me know if you need any recommendations.🙏

@@AllAboutABQ will do

Hi @JackCarsonite. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. ❤

Hey @richards1191! Are there any particular neighborhoods or areas you’d like me to cover?

@@AllAboutABQ Torrance county and San Juan County at least for now

Hi @richards1191. If you ever decide to come out, let me know if you need any recommendations.🙏

I appreciate your feedback @camilleruggiero3098! 💯
