  • One of my favorites! I dream of living in Santa Fe and wearing a long flowing dress to match my (hopefully) long flowing hair. Oppenheimer, who???
    I usually talk about books, so here are some links to that:
    If you’re interested, here’s where you can buy my books!

    Where to find me:
    Email: readingthenightaway@gmail.com

    Wanna buy my clothes?
    Depop: www.depop.com/...
    Wanna use my music?
    Music: Epidemic Sound (www.epidemicso...) *editing with music is a real lifesaver.
    Thanks for being here!

    Unfortunately Taos, my hometown, is becoming overpopulated with tourists, and the housing market is becoming more and more expensive and catered towards the rich. Kind of like what’s happening in Hawaii. It’s really unfortunate because the residents who actually live here are struggling.

      Same thing in Las Vegas. Refugees from California & rich Texans buying up everything, property prices now out of reach for people that grew up here. And yeah streets clogged with tourists.

    Underrated...I mean Taos and Santa Fe have been on the artsy touristy circuit for decades.
    Northern NM is especially beautiful. It's one of only two majority minority states and it has a dry sunny climate that most people love. It has a unique history compared to many states.
    There's also a lot of poverty and social dysfunction.
    NM is usually the top "parasite" state in the country, gets about $2 in federal funds for every $1 it sends out. Federal government keeps it afloat with science labs and military bases. Feds and tourism make it viable.

    I live outside of Albuquerque and I hate myself for moving here. My dad was born and raised her in 1936 and he hated it too and couldn’t wait to leave. The state motto is “The Land of Enchantment” but everyone calls it “The Land of Entrapment” and that is no lie.

    NM is basically hot and dry like AZ, but it's mostly at a greater altitude, especially in the northern part of the state, which makes it generally like 20⁰F cooler.
    So when NM is at a pretty tough 95, AZ is at an intolerable, potentially deadly, 115.
    You can escape the cold by going to the Carolinas, Florida, Texas, most of the South, including Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, etc.
    But all those places are assaultively HUMID, and not only does that make the heat intolerable, but it tends to bring lots and lots of mosquitoes and other insects.
    They exist in NM, but at such a lower density you can be in many places and never see a mosquito.
    And it's so dry you can cool your house with a swamp cooler, which is just a giant humidifier that's costs a tenth of a real ac unit to run, and you can keep your doors and windows open.
    Texas is too hot and too humid. Arizona is just too extremely hot. Colorado is nice but it gets much colder there, and there's a lot of people, Utah is nice but the whole Mormon thing is hard to live with.
    All these places are more popular, so there are things of people. The roads are crowded, restaurants are jammed, hiking trails are unmanageable where they exist.
    NM is slow, and empty. Except during real rush hour, there's no traffic. You can drive around Albuquerque like it's a suburb, compared to Tucson or Austin or Denver, there's nobody here.
    ABQ is the only city in America with an actual ski area.
    I've been here 30 years and I think of moving, but every other place is either unacceptably hot, horribly humid, or depressingly cold and cloudy.
    There literally no place to go, except maybe San Diego, but the cost of living there is way out of my range.

    Come on down to Albuquerque, where i was born and raised and have a great look at what a failed city government can do to a city. I dint even recognize my hometown compared to 15years ago. The homeless have completely taken over the entire city. The police have been driven out of to other departments where the city actually supports them and no one seems to care. We just keep on doing the exact same things and following the exact same policies that have got us here. Nee Mexico has some amazing places of beauty. But we also top all of the bad lists and are at the very bottom of all the good lists. It really bothers me when videos like this show cities like Santa fe downtown, without showing any of what its like for any of the people actually living here.
