The way the AI pronounces many of these names gives this video some comedy for sure lol
Totally agree
Agreed! 'Pooblo' ..'Santa Fee'...haha.
Agreed! I cracked up several times!😅 "The Pee-cos river!"
As person who lives in New Mexico, it is extremely irksome. I feel trolled.
"Lass Crew-Seas?"
😜 I lived there once. It ain't "Lass Crew-Seas"
Edit: "Santa Fee". 🫤
Lived in Taos for only a year and a half, but it is absolutely the place I'd love to stay in forever. Even more than the gorgeous architecture and mountain views, it's the FEELING it gives you being there.
I love my state and I live in Albuquerque New Mexico.
I have been there, and through there a ton of times. It is a gorgeous place. I just am saddened for your state's residents however because of nuclear waste disposal sites, the military open burn pits, and the proposed depleted uranium dumps that may get built there. 😥😪😥😪😭😰
You sound like an AI. Strange...
New Mexico is my kind of state to move to. More to do and see. A place with its own special energy.
Whatever.
They lost me in 18 seconds when they showed a pic of the art museum in Mexico City. LOL.
Yes! There is plenty to do especially outdoors. I live near the four corners in Farmington. I love how close Colorado is. My favorite is when we all decide to drive up north to see the fall leaves. It’s cute seeing everyone get excited haha.
I was raised in New México but lived in Florida 12 Years and 3 in Arizona and now I have Been living in New México for 15 Years and honestly I have IT better here. I have a good paying job. And have a my vehicle paid house on 5 acres.
I lived in Moriarty for 16 years and loved it! I like small towns. I hate crowds so big cities are not suitable for me! Have a son close to Moriarty. And, the 7 friends I have there are plenty for me.
New Mexico is an armpit . Land of entrapment . I was born and raised there . Couldn’t wait to leave . Been away for 23 yrs .
Where are you living at now
Besides the A.I. errors, I like this video. Too many videos trash N.M. too much. Some Americans are looking for new places, new ideas, new people to live and be around. Good luck everybody.
I was going to let it slide but when you got to Santa Fe, I had to say something.
Ok. It's not Santa Fee, it's Santa FAY.
It's not adob, it's ADOBAY.
It's not Laus Cruces, it's LOS (like lost) Cruces.
It's not Tae-ohs, it's TAH-OES.
Im sure there will be more.
In Spanish, there are set rules for vowels, not like English, where "a" can have 6 sounds.
A ALWAYS sounds like "ah"
E ALWAYS sounds like "A"
I sounds like "E"
O sounds like "O"
U sounds like "Oo"
J sounds like "Y"
G sounds like "W"
Ll sounds like "Y"
Ñ sounds like "Ny"
These are set rules. I hope this helps.
Thank you for Help 🙂
@@USHistorians it really was a good video, tho. Informative. I'm kind of surprised you included Albuquerque and Las Cruces. Alamogordo is nice and Cloudcroft is unique and an anomaly in New Mexico.
I'm pretty sure this is some kind of AI voice. It also said, "sky-ing" instead of skiing.
Juliana, I hope you realize that the person speaking is an A.I. generated text to voice program.
@@MYZTICTRAVLER I do, but without constructive criticism, how can the producers be encouraged to improve their product? There is a human element involved SOMEWHERE.
Taos: Median Home Value $527,000, Median Household Income $49,000. If Mortgage should be no more than 28% of annal income. 20% down = $105,000 leaving a balance of 421,600 to pay off over 30 years. Principle alone would be $2,596 per mo. or $31,152 per year. 28% of 49,000 = $13,720. So, the median monthly mortgage for a home 228% greater than the median household income, yikes. And the narrator cheerfully states the figures as though nothing is wr0ng. How can beatniks, starving artists & hippies afford to hang out there?
First I want to say I like how you break down the numbers. I'm in my '50s and I wish I had understood mortgages and buying houses in my twenties. I lived in Florida for a time. It has three native NFL teams, Tampa, Miami, Jacksonville. There are probably more Patriots, Giants, Jets, flags flying than the native teams. I met a guy that sold his Manhattan apartment, paid cash for a large Florida home and took a low paying environmental job. So we know those high home values are wealthy, maybe retired, no true income reporting people. For me part of buying a home, I like the idea of 20% down and paying it off in 15 years.(Dave Ramsey). And I like the information that I learned a couple of years ago; a house should be about 4 times your annual income, period. Of course, there are other factors to consider.
Beatniks, starving artists and hippies don't own their own homes. They rent. Often they share rent with roommates. Eventually their presence makes a place fashionable, the money-people move in, and the rents go up, driving them out. Then the money people wonder why the place has lost its character and look for the next place to ruin.
One word: Drogs.
I lived there for 7 years. You work multiple jobs, have roommates and don’t spend on anything you don’t have to. It was hard. They say if you want to be a millionaire in Taos, come with 2 million. Beautiful place though.
I love the sunny days 365 and star gazing. You can even see the Satellite's at night. And the privacy and freedom. Love it. ❤
I live in Roswell it’s so peaceful here.
Are the locals friendly to outsiders moving in? Currently planning a move to New Mexico and trying to weigh out all of our options. We absolutely HATE our home state of Oklahoma and are looking to relocate 3 generations of our family, but want to be close enough to get back to see our other family here from time to time. We've had 3 recent trips to NM (and another upcoming next month) and have visited almost every part of the state...loved Roswell and nearby Ruidoso! Also wondering if you have any input on the summer heat in Roswell (we come from OK, so are fairly accustomed to our heat here, but not the dry heat there...and when we visited Roswell specifically it was in Nov)??? I appreciate any insight you can give me.
@@Sylvie1710 everyone is very friendly. To live here is affordable. We have the big stores and good local markets. There’s big chain restaurants and local restaurants. There’s tons to do if you’re active and more of a nature type person. Nightlife is not too much here since it’s a small town but you do have the local bars. The heat in summer is actually pretty dry. It can get too hot. I’m not sure how Oklahoma heat is but New Mexico heat is very hot and dry. The nice side of Roswell is near downtown the sketchy part is more in the outskirts of Roswell but even then is not too bad, you maybe see 1 or two homeless here and there but it’s not bad. Crime isn’t bad either I’ve been able to walk alone and so far I’ve been good. I think you’ll really like it. I e also been to Ruidoso I’ve never lived there but I can tell you it’s absolutely gorgeous but that’s about all I know about Ruidoso.
Thank you for your input. We absolutely love New Mexico and are thrilled to finally be taking steps to make our dream a reality! We didn't stay too long in Roswell when we visited, and basically just did all the touristy things...but it was a lot of fun. We are certainly used to an oppressive summer heat, but here in OK it's more of a humid type of heat (which is awful). I appreciate you taking the time to reply back to me!
@@Sylvie1710 New Mexico is truly the land of Enchantment. You will love it.
That's what I am looking for, didn't know there was a place in the U.S.👍
This video is in serious need of a voiceover by someone who lives in New Mexico and who can pronounce words correctly!
Or a human being of any kind.
I’m not looking for new construction homes or proximity to employers like he highlights, but I still get the idea that there are parts of New Mexico calling to me. I wonder which are the mountains where the Hopi Nation is. I’m pretty sure it’s in NM. I guess that’s why there’s more youtube!
It's in Arizona. There are other tribes in New Mexico.
I like Farmington. I lived and grew up in the area. It’s improving a lot recently. It still has that small town feel with everything you need. I’m actually a realtor so if you are curious I can help :)
@@cwilliams7017 Thank you!
18 seconds in & a channel called "US Historians" is already showing a picture of the Palacio de Bellas Artes in MEXICO CITY. AI is ruining RUclips.
I been to N.M. for vacation, and it's really a nice to vacation. I want to retire there someday, GOD willing.
The house prices and incomes were off by a lot.
I’d love to live in Santa Fe but the fees they charge during Christmas is too high.
Wow! With all the careful video footage you would think someone would have edited for correct pronunciation. Ouch!
Good video
Not sure why photos of Mexico City are shown in the intro. Definitely not in NM
Moving to los cruces in October
LAS Cruces
@@TCW838 thanks 😊
How is it ?? And where’d you move from ?
Albuquerque is the best place to live in NM if high crime, homicide, and crowded city is your thing.!!!
DO NOT MOVE TO NEW MEXICO THERE ARE MORE NEGATIVES THAN POSITIVE HIGH CRIME DRUG GANGS THEFT UNFRIENDLY PEOPLE NO RAIN NO JOBS HIGH RENT CLOSED BUSINESSES THIS IS MY EXPERIENCE FROM LIVING THERE CHOOSE SOMEWHERE ELSE BE SAFE
They also tax social security .
I guess it's great if you like many days over 100°
I've got a place in The Forest outside Silver City that i visit 2-3 times per year.
Was this narrated by a robot? Santa Fee? And mispronouncing “adobe”? Really?
Is there any bike-able areas with bike lanes, rails to trails, and lots of independent shops, restaurants to walk to?? Or just sprawl and car dependency?
Braught to you by chat gbt
Home.
Except that the hippies leave Taos in the winter since it's the 4rth snowiest city in the US.
Forgot to mention the worst medical help anywhere.
I see that opinion a lot. In my experience it's bullshit, but YMMV.
Out of the 8 cities in this video the average person is only going to find full time work in 3 of them. Carlsbad is known for 'Potash' mining along with crude oil and fracing water. Farmington is in the center of the San Juan natural gas basin and with companies like Haliburton energy, Fina and Chevron controlling the Basin and keeping wages low for the average Rig worker or Truck driver Your going to be working 6 days a week on average just to make it. And Las Cruces with it's Subdivision growth primarily aimed at out of state retiree's is already struggling due to rising inflation and soaring home interest rates. New Mexico is not known as the 'Land of Entrapment' for nothing the other 5 cities listed in this video will primarily offer jobs aimed in the service industry and be on a part time basis with little to no benefits as they have no real job market along with poor demographics. Truly if Your considering relocating to the Southwest and are of a working age I.E. not retired or not collecting a pension or financially secure, then Colorado or Arizona may offer substantially better employment opportunities for a long term sustainability.
Agree. Not much in opportunity in the state. Oil / gas in the NW and SE corners. Retail or service industry jobs pretty much everywhere else in the state.
It's wild that the state has very few opportunities. I like the chill atmosphere in Las cruces, but I'm still of working age and I've read that about going to Arizona, Colorado or Texas for work.
Santa Feeee Are you kidding me?
What is the employment opportunities??
What kind of companies are located in N M?
What editing software do you use ❤
Adobe Premiere Pro
You mispronounced name and other words, maybe before you post another video, make sure to learn the correct pronunciation of the cities and places.
I have a doubt. why did you include some images from Mexico City? Palacio de Bellas Artes & Angel de la Independencia
You might have got the pronunciation of Santa Fe right.
Carlsbad has changed a lot. It's mostly oil production now. I couldn't stand the smell of crude oil while there.
Gosh, I didn't have any idea New Mexico was a secret. Has it been a secret for very long? I've known about it for a very long time.
Majority the USA gets it mixed with Mexico for some reason
Lol - I live in the highest income per capita in the entire state….thank goodness AI didn’t put us in the video…..
You somehow managed to mispronounce every city name and most of the neighborhoods. It is fairly obvious you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
He mispronounced maybe one or two words the whole video, not “every city name and most neighborhoods”. You’re just looking for a reason to be angry at someone. Most videos like this don’t go into the specifics on which sides of town has what, so it actually sounds like he knows what he’s talking about more than other RUclipsrs.
@@cj0553 if a person can’t pronounce Santa Fe correctly, they don’t know what they are talking about.
@@cj0553 mispronounced a lot. Ok, no big deal. But a channel calling itself US Historians and didn't know how to pronounce Santa Fe!?
@@ismaeldeviaje I felt the same way. I commented that and was told that it was computer generated AI. I suggested that there's a human element somewhere that needs to correct the pronunciation.
Poorly done AI. The worst.
Pea coes? (2:09)
I thought it sounded more like PeaKos 😂
Crazy how all these say we have excellent schools when we're ranked #50 in the nation for education
I’ve been researching a move there. When I visited with my 3 year old we met so many nice people! I was worried about the bad education stats… so people co-op it homeschool there? All the kids we met seemed so happy and social.
The schools are ok. Stay in school. Problem solved.
Hi Bob, your videos are very good. If you need a designer for your thumbnails and cover write me, I can help you. I hope you continue to make progress on RUclips.
Please try to use a better AI to write your scripts, or run your scripts by an editor who is a native English speaker.
Most of us who know that the speaker is an AI program are not triggered by the mispronounced words. That's like slapping a malfunctioning traffic light.....🤭😁🤭😁
@@MYZTICTRAVLERl nearly fell out of my chair with his pronunciations. Lol.
The narrator's butchering of the locations names is hilarious 😂😂😂😂.
New Mexico is a nice state to retire, . but young people looking for high paying jobs there😊 are not there.
You did not mention the crime rate. Worst in America.
Or the corrupt governor.
Lol, Santa Fee, really?
Farmington is okay if you dodge the police bullets in your own home.
@rightcheer5096 I have visited Farmington several times over the years. Farmington has a really nice climate thanks to the high elevation. I really like looking at the 'bluffs', and the 3 rivers running through town are quite pleasant. Seems to be a lot of restaurants in the area as well, definitely better Mexican food than where I live (no surprise there).
That covers most of the state . It' may be a beautiful state but the state government the culture and the majority of the people are Marxist traitors to the US.
@@mikenb11_51it’s nice small town. Every town has downsides but personally it’s a great town with plenty to do especially outdoors.
I've heard the best is above Tucumcari, or pray for the state, then PRAY on your land , give it back to God, alot of this is native American Indian burial ground and so breaking curse may be needed to be done.
taso has 549 thousand home media value with 49 thousand media income doesn't make sense.
Taos is filled with empty 2nd homes and tons of Air BnBs. IT is not the place I moved to 35 years ago. Sad. Taken over by rich retired people and Texans in the summer
Roswell? Ha ha ha…
🩷
Questionable choices?
Al ba cur key😅😅😅
If you move to Albuquerque don't move to the mountain Vista apartments unless you want to live next to or underneath 300 pound pot smoking welfare case domestic terrorists.we just moved because of that.
we lived in Rio Rancho, far northwest part of Rio Rancho. I was 20 minutes from Jemez, 40 minutes from Santa Fe, 30 minutes to downtown ABQ. Love my New Mexico years. Sadly the democrat government works hard to destroy the state...but hey...that is nationwide... I would move back...
The AI voice and mispronounciations take away from the believability of this video but most of it is on point. However, Santa Fe should be #1 - not Albuquerque. ABQ is ok just don't be there after dark.
Please learn how to correctly pronounce the names of the towns!! I grew up there. Would have liked your video more if you had done your homework
Amateurs. I think you missed the mark in a lot of ways. I'm a transplant and love NM. I think you just listed off the most well-known towns and put them in an order. Waste of time.
Interested in Pablo and am living in Central Brazil I am from vesasula and have Afghani wives twelve Hindi, thailander And Cherokee thank you
Ugh, look to Utah which will be more welcoming to your family.
Where did Walter White live ?
Albuquerque
Fairly good, but awful , incorrect pronunciation of names and words. Really! You want to inform t
5th in violence
The AI that you are using needs to learn how you pronounce words like “adobe “
This is total crap, we live in NewMexico,been to the places mentioned. Not accurate.
what about the bad weather and high crime rate?
I moved to this dump of a state about a year ago. Let me first say if you are Caucasian, this is NOT the state for you - the discrimination is overwhelming!!! If you have any kind of illness, no matter what it is - be prepared to wait about 8 months to a year for a doctor's appointment and when you do finally get in to see a doctor 90% of them are dumb as a box of rocks (guess they can't find a job in any other state), the suicide rate if off the chart. No doubt - you can't - seriously - cant get an appointment to see a therapist and again if you are "lucky" enough to find one they are so ignorant and unprofessional. Housing here sucks!!! One management company (MEB) is the worse - I won't even go into detail what they do. So if you even have any ideas of moving here PLEASE thing twice!!! This place sucks. Run - don't walk to another state!!!
Looks like you really picked a stinker of a town to move to... I'd get outta whatever hell hole you're living in.
You must be from ca
@@mikrof467 sounds like he's from bumf**k
Do you need and appointment to commit you might just need too
As a "Caucasian" aka white guy who was raised in Santa Fe before the California invasion, you are clearly overly sensitive. There are some people in all groups who are racist or discriminatory and if you want to dwell on it, that's a personal problem. Native, Hispanic and White, we have a history of actually not only getting along but doing quite well with each other. Healthcare? Yes, it could be much better. Blame that on our legislature. The laws regarding malpractice have and continue to chase Doctors away, but I've never waited more than 2 weeks for an appointment and urgent care centers abound. You are correct that we lack adequate mental health professionals. Housing? Not sure what your talking about here, except gentrification: The influx from California, Texas and the east coast have chased many locals (including myself) out of where we were raised due to price and taxes. "This place sucks"... hope the door didn't hit you in the arse...
Not impressed with your choices!
Out of state.
This is so bad. The mispronounced names and mismatch images to words make it difficult to watch. There’s better videos out there
Read the Bible. Pray for our country's sins
Could you at least try to pronounce the names of the cities correctly? Unprofessional.
Best places to live in New Mexico is Ft. Collins, oh , that's right it's in Colorado - sorry!
Very communist
The best place to live in New Mexico is outside of new mexico😢😢😢
I live in Texas ,but, have spent a lot of time in Carlsbad,Roswell n ABQ, Ruidoso/ Cloudcroft area.Also northern NM. It's one of my favorite states.😍
New Mexico is a great place if you hate the second amendment.
