It's simple, just don't be a fool and you'll be just fine in ABQ. ❤

Abq changed, wonder what they think now

Thank you for steeling my land

We watched this masterpiece of a video in my digital media class to learn the principles of animation.

I moved from LA to ABQ (Rio Rancho to be exact) and lived there for about 5 years until I had to come back to Los Angeles. NM has a very special place in my hearth. I've tried ever since to move back, but I've not been able to find a local job (I work in the Tech Industry). One day....one day...

Awesome video, I’m looking forward to moving to New Mexico. 🤙🏽☘️

The fall and winter is so beautiful here. Albuquerque is great.

Ahhhhhh, the 505, the MECCA of bad traffic control! The land where drivers do everything slow!

COVID and the Gov. are killing this place. It was okay pre 03-2019. Now it's 01-10-2021 and it is time for Phoenix.

Its interesting to see what ppl have to say about your home state and city that are not from here.

So what now a bitch of rich fuckers are going to move up there. Irban yuppys are going to move there now

I lived 2 yers in Albuquerque 3 in Santa Fe now in Chile, I miss so much New Mexico, I have only good thing to say, when this pandemic is over ill be on my way over there. oh I forgot, people stay out of NM, hope no many knows about it, Im afraid people started to find out, Santa fe is growing too fast. When I told people I was moving to NM they asked me if got my passport, hope people keep thinking that.

Dude, people die quite often in Albuquerque. I live here. lol. I was watching this shit and I was like WTF? For real though... illegal aliens cause a lot of crime. Lots of murder. Lots of robbery. Horrible education system. Worst place to raise your kids. Looks up all these stats. We're very close to #1 in all these spots. Though Albuquerque can be chill, not everyone can live here. Its a different culture for sure and people are pretty poor over here, so they become desperate and intense. If we had Republican leadership, I think Albuquerque would be a lot better place to live. Democrats over here fight for criminals. There was some dude that was murdered recently, and the guy that murdered him LITERALLY only got 1 month in jail. Its insane. I just bought a house, and in like 10 years I'm more than likely going to move somewhere else. The extra money is worth leaving such a poverty stricken area of the country.

words about my Zia Sun

Lisp tender chicken bait

Born n raised 91

I wish young people here would wake the hell up and get the jobs these transplants are taking. Their educational apathy is contributing to local displacement. It's our own community's fault that we are remaining poor and uneducated.

Cold? Lmao

Are you and all these professionals still here? Would like to know what the current industry scene looks like. My daughter is an amazing artist. Her goal is animation and it would be cool to find out she could intern here in town.

Green chile smells like marijuana can we tell what's in the industry ;) shout out from 505

Albuquerque is basically a third world country in our own back yard...

The place is beautiful, if you don't need your car or anything, three cars stolen before we just gave up and left.

Albuquerque another city for Californians to screw up.

are the people in this video delusional? I've been here 14 years. biggest mistake of my life and I'm scared to death for my children to grow up here. there is no future here. sure you can own a home here but lock it the fuck up cause you're going to get robbed and your car will be stolen. no joke. the crime the drugs and the back log of rape kits are all out of control. dead serious

Moving there for a project and so happy I found this video...even though its 5 years old...Now I'm excited

Born and raised in albuquerque nm and i been to L.A. to Huston Denver and all over Texas big cities Las Vegas and i could say albuquerque is awesome to live in i love it but everyone has to try to live some where else cuz you just never know how you would feel living somewhere else and it's how you live. May God bless us all in the name of Jesus Christ.

Sandia Crest/Peak is not alpine. Alpine literally means "no" pine because the air is too thin for vegatation to grow. The Sangre De Cristo mountains north of Santa Fe have alpine. Just me being an asshole, no offense tho. ANOTHER OUTDOOR CULTURE that's not mentioned is the offroad community. Plenty of beautiful vast areas to ride your dirt bike or jeep. Been here 11 years and absolutely love it!

If I moved to Albuquerque it would be simply to get meth

Thanks heaps for this. 😇

Are you from ABQ

What a bunch of closed minded idiots.

New mexico is the worst state in the nation, lived there, hated it

"San Francisco on the Rio Grande" Is this dude serious?!? 😂😂😂

" Why is New Mexico so Windy"? Because Arizona blows and Texas sucks"....

FINALLY someone made a video of how great it is here. Scared to share we don't want anymore people lol

I have been thinking of moving to NM, AZ, or Las Vegas! I work for an airline and I teach tennis so it all depends on whether or not I can get a job. I’ll definitely be visiting Albuquerque and Santa Fe soon.

Hard to find work and very few single women.

GANGS, DRUGS, VIOLENCE, HOMELESS!!!! BELIEVE ME, IT SUCKS!

Any place you decide to settle down has it's negatives. Some more, some less. I spent 7 years in Albuquerque from 1961 to 1968. 3rd grade to 10th grade, while my Dad worked at Sandia Base. It was a wonderful time in my life. My Dad got a new job in Chicago and we moved there in 1968 and talk about a culture shock. After I graduated HS I joined the Navy and left home. Somehow to make a long story short I ended up in North Florida in 1977. Been here ever since. But there isn't a day that goes by that I don't long to return to New Mexico. The vistas are amazing in NM, the air is fresh and dry and there is actually a change of season. You can only look at the Ocean and Gulf so much, those views are the only ones you can see more than 100 yards. Nothing but pine trees in Florida blocking all the views. Someday maybe I'll return to Albuquerque.

I've been thinking of moving to ABQ, but I keep on hearing how terrible it is. Far far from what they are saying here.

North East heights were they found a man with his head cut off at the smiths lmfao worst state. and I said state, in the country. Even the schools here in New Mexico are the worst in the country.

don't move to New Mexico!!!

I don't disagree with the content of this. I love New Mexico. But why is nearly everyone interviewed in the video a man?

great vid,,, all said is the 100% true dat..... i think a tad bit of editing is needed,,,, woukd increase this vids popularity greatly... how many times do we need to hear about food,, or a shit ton of g rated stories and statements,,, im talking channel 7 pbs’s grandparents... bob ross 24/7 but ,good vid .. with good real people! thx for it!

No...Albuquerque has good n bad. It is very beautiful..but, the crime takes from the beauty. But honestly, the crime rate is terribly high. Tons of theft...this is one of their biggest problems. Sorry...but this is the reason I left. No I did not live in a bad area. I lived in an upscale neighborhood in the the foothills. This is where they come to rob...nobody is safe. I wish my family would leave. It's not the place...it's the people. Not friendly or welcoming...come on people, let's be honest here.

go back 2 cal

This video mostly just makes me think Californians are stuck up lmao. I'm from New York and moving to New Mexico is my fuckin dream. I grew up in a "ghetto" area so maybe that's why I'm not scared off by people saying it's a shitty place, but o well.

Scew the people that do not like ABQ New Mexico. The history here is awsome and i was born and raised in ABQ and i have no issue What so ever.ABQ FOR THE WIN!!!!!

HA HA HA ... Total shit.

I love New Mexico. I've lived in Alamogordo, Grants, Albuquerque and would move back in a heart beat. I will be back eventually!
