Silver City has a good hospital (Gila Regional) although the city's highway accessibility (length of travel) still makes it a foreboding place to settle. The worst factors are still New Mexico's an historically poor state and the few outposts of hope (Silver City, Ruidoso/Cloudcroft, Taos-Ski-land-etc) have geography/geology to blame for much of their lack of access.
I was hoping for your explanation of why floodwaters were well-known, historically, would include comparisons like Sacremento's Russian River. Except Silver City's in a rocky mountain pass with little soil to absorb snow-thaws of each spring. I was hoping for footage of the university's campus, or even a walk-thru of their engineering and forestry departments - there are some great rock collections there. I certainly don't mind the refusal to include eyesores like the man-made miles-wide craters that mining operations use. Fortunately, those are seen on the road well before folks hit Silver City. Cafes and eateries feature much better views, and a tour of The Real Town (toward campus, toward the hospital) reviews a pleasant place with hilly terrain and many houses with good views.
Great video, thanks

Thanks for watching and your comments. We love the Taos / Red River area.
Wow, you folks are easily impressed.
🤣
I lived in Silver City. It's a great place to visit, but not a good place to live in.
