I went to Albuquerque a few years ago. I think it's the one of the few cities in America that I really taken aback by how beautiful it was. It was so different than anything I had ever seen.
I moved back to Albuquerque from West Covina, CA. And I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. The main problem are absentee landlords and ruin it for so many. Greed is what is tearing down our beautiful country.
People don't understand that this is a state that has a very unique history, culture and even cuisine. Most of America is quite homogenous but there are a few parts that really have a distinct cultural identity.
Started right at George Pearl Hall, where I got my undergrad in architecture fron UNM and spent many nights working into the morning in studio. I would cruise central to drive home when I was too tired to be on the freeway. Many interesting sights to be seen.
Hello, my son will be going to UNM as a freshman. Just want to get your opinion if UNM is a good school. How was your experience when you were studying there? Thanks in advance.
@@baloochness I very much enjoyed my time studying architecture at the University of New Mexico. I minored in sustainability and took classes at the honors college as well. I was able to complete my degree in 4 years and given scholarships to make me be able to afford the tuition. I can only speak to my experience in those realms, I am from New Mexico and lived off campus working and paying rent - I worked 2 jobs throughout most of my education to make ends meet - but cost of living is reasonable in Albuquerque. I was able to network and make professional connections in undergrad that led to my current employment in my field. I am personally not one for sports - but we have a great basketball team and a few big football games people enjoy. There is also a place on campus you can rent camping supplies to enjoy the beautiful nature in New Mexico. There are a lot of yearly events that hopefully will resume now that the pandemic is winding down - my favorite was the sustainability expo and a lot of people like "Fiestas" a yearly free concert on campus. All in all UNM was a great and affordable choice for my education. There is an extremely diverse student body and faculty at UNM. There is also a lot of opportunity for your son to find impactful work in New Mexico. I couldn't forget to mention the food is also amazing if you like some heat! Remind him to not leave any valuables visible in his car though - and maybe buy a wheel lock. We are high in vehicular theft and break-ins. The University and Nob Hill areas are pretty safe most of the time, just be aware and you will be fine. All in all there is nowhere in the US quite like New Mexico - I am proud to call it home.
@@Lo-and-Jaq thank you so much for your feedback and recommendations. It gives me peace of mind as a parent with a child moving away for college. I just want him to be safe and hopefully he'll have a wonderful experience there as well.
Moved here from LA 15 years ago. I'm digging it. If I ever miss LA it's less than two hours away by air. I love the state as well. Amazing history, food and culture here.
Your both wrong. Californians and New Mexicans are flooding our state of texas. There’s no jobs in Albuquerque and the state of California is literally raping it’s its citizens with their tax and rent prices.
@@MrBison-eq8hb Same is happening here too … we see a lot of TX and CA license plates cruising around. It’s unfortunate! They ruined their states and now they are coming over here to ruin us too!
I was back in Albuquerque last February for a family funeral. I find Albuquerque much more drivable than Seattle. I've taken to riding the bus (pre-pandemic) in Seattle as driving and parking can be ridiculous. One has to remember which way the one way streets of Lead and Coal run in Albuquerque, that is about as challenging as it gets.
@@johnnyblues777 I often say that around here they got top notch aeronautical engineers and software engineers, but got civil engineers that suck hind tit.
They're two way from second st. west bound on Lead and east bound on Coal and turn one way before/after the tracks. Downtown is really stupid, now. Every morning and afternoon the traffic is so backed up. But this one Mayor, I think Martinez (????), wanted to accomodate pedestrians and bike riders as they expanded the business dist.
i visited the place, over the freeway you can see how the city slants upwards towards the mountains, to the west you could see the open desert which gave me liminal space vibes, so it gave this weird but nice open space feeling,
Great to see how clean our city is. Didn't see any homeless camps or trash. Way to go Albuquerque! Lots of great architecture and historic old buildings. Such a beautiful place! Born and raised! Thanks for the ride.
Are you kidding me 11:15 half a city block with homeless camps and trash...Did you see the trash can on the corner? over the top with trash. Not a good look im very disapointed in the downtown area
Moved here when I was 14, in 1973. Del Norte grad 1976. So.. I grew up here, left that troubled city in '07. Many things I miss, many I don't. Thanks for the vid amigo.
I’m from a city in Southern California called Santa Ana, it’s a pretty populous city with over 330k people but it’s not very known. The part of ABQ in 13:10-15:40 reminded me a lot of my hometown
Thanks for the ride. Last time I was in NM was about 10 years ago and I can't even remember why!. Do remember that roundabout at 12:23 but you turned off northbound. Think I was based a little down the road straight on. Thanks.
@@jaxong.2701Nothing but bad like homeless problems, druggies, and bad school education and I lived there but moved to texas with my mom and everything was better. I do miss the cheap glass prices tho

Nice drive. Not a bad-looking city. Nice actually. Very clean streets and sidewalks all along the entire drive. Lots of city buses, so good public transportation. Never heard any gunshots or saw any car-jackings, so that’s a good thing. It’s really not nearly as bad as some would have you believe when it comes to crime. All big cities and small towns have it.
It has terrible public transportation.... and the city bought the wrong buses.. All over town and online are posters of drug addicts breaking into peoples cars lol ... where did you go!? or youre just saying that you personally didnt witness it while you visited? Bc its EVERYWHERE
I lived there in the 80s and it hasn’t changed that much considering, it was a tough place then with all the cholos, and what I find amazing is there’s actually a statue that dosent allow building to be over two stories and your only allowed to paint earth tone colors on the buildings, if you fly over it in a airplane it’s so camouflage you can barley see it. , I hope they can preserve that city and make it flourish
It's true that we don't have very many tall buildings in Albuquerque. The tallest one is only 22 stories. But that isn't by statute. It's just what builders have chosen to do. There are many many buildings over two stories, and you can paint them any color you want. There are no color restrictions. I can't imagine where you got that information. I'm wondering if you are putting us on.
Your drive up on Coal Ave. was interesting, I haven't been there in a while. From very old neighborhoods to newer. Our oasis in this desert state isn't for Everyone. Like the saying: there are other states in the US that might make a person feel more suited for their comfort and lifestyle. Peace @ U.
Tons of cars and buses in the streets Random moron in the comments: lOoKs lIkE a GhoSt ToWn 🤪🤡 There were people in the streets throughout the video, I don’t know why you expected droves of people walking in the middle of the day
For someone looking at this video who is not familiar with NM, they would not know where or what they're looking at. It would be nice if you would explain or point out where you are. Anyone could run a video while they're driving, but it takes more effort to speak while the video is running.
I've lived in ABQ for 4 years, visited and wanted to live here for over 30 years. I found this difficult to watch as it is blurry. Most of the drive is not in downtown. I noticed someone commented on not seeing the homeless, but I saw some in front of the Kimo Theater downtown. Another comment said the city looked dead....it's Covid time, folks. We have strict restrictions that have worked. Have seen a video on downtown San Francisco and it looks the same...no one there right now.
Thanks for the support! Sorry for the blurriness that you have experienced, have you tried to check if the video quality is at 4K? Maybe that will show better picture quality.
When did you do this ..on a Sunday morning. This city looks like everyone left to go to Denver for the weekend. Nevertheless..thanks for the vid. I was on the fence about moving there but now im completely off the fence
@@fanzbeans ohhhhh... well its summer and i still never see anybody walking. so just a couple spring months its popping?? Booked a flight home bc of how lonely it is here... Even the store people dont remember you when youre there every day lol.. wild. Like theyre on auto pilot "NJ? Oh thats a new one" DUDE I SEE YOU EVERY SINGLE DAY. lolol
No. The buses are dangerous- theyre free until autumn and only the homeless and druggies use it.. my mom will on OCCASION if its passing by and very hot to get maybe 2 or 3 miles. otherwise she walks.. theyre urgently looking for bus drivers, who keep quitting due to violence- theyre scared to be driving... all my uber drivers told me NOT to take the bus lol I dont even feel that unsafe in JERSEY
Just weird how its SO earth conscious but they STILL use plastic bags and styrofoam. I ate at a restaurant and they SERVED me with plastic silverware and a styrofoam bowl lol and my drink was in none recyclable BP plastic lol.. there's NEVER anybody walking around, everyone is in cars... the bus barely shows up, its 105 and youcan wait up to an HOUR just to get 2 miles... all the houses are on busy streets (some aren't) but none of the side streets connect, just a bunch of dead ends... The mountains are beautiful and gardens... peoples homes are gorgeous how they decorate.... Everybody has a dog that they just leave out in the heat - online there's like 20 dogs missing a day lol BRING YOUR PUP INSIDE.. they just all go to the fence and jump and bark at you EVERY SINGLE TIME you step onto the sidewalk..... just bizarre area... People are OK, but i live across from a restaurant that locks its doors and so i went to the drive up window and they said they couldnt serve me without a car HAHAHAHA SO im there HUNGRy and HOT.. LIVE 20 feet away but NEED A CAR to order FOOD...... beside myself. I booked a flight home. I can see why OLD people or RETIRED people come with their SAVINGS...bc its cheap to COME here... but dont come here thinking youre going to just build a life from scratch (unless youre extremely thrifty and clever perHAPS). I rode my bike on the way to Old Town and there were like 70 people underneath an underpass ... gang i think? and people are camped out HOMELESS EVERYWHEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE - its CREEPY! The fact that down the road its called "War Zone" isnt enticing... All the Uber drivers had like 4 jobs and they were like TEACHERS and REAL ESTATE agents STRUGGLING to make extra cash!... NOT a good sign. However, the extreme amoiunt of butterflies, hummingbirds, salamanders, beautiful large snails with like seashells on their backs... the nature (when OFF of the trillion Highways) is just incredible.. I looked up few days ago and saw half a rainbow just chillin over my head like floating around... its pretty magical... but you feel all alone all the time...
I honestly hate it here and it's been hard to adjust. But its understandable for someone who moved from hawaii. Not tryna hate on anyone else's opinion
@@rishabhsharma7757 I didn't say that life was hard here. I was only saying that it's hard to adjust when you move to a completely different environment like from tropical and ocean to desert like
@@ChrisMSepulveda honestly, everyone handles it differently. Im not saying life here is difficult, but if you really love where you live, then its going to be hard to accept and not be home sick. But then again, the crime rate is high and you will no longer be next to the ocean.
I'm not sure what time of day you videoed this, but the homeless, crazies and drug addicts are much, much more prominent that what I see here! The city is literally out of control in terms of crime and street drug addiction, w/ a police force that is known for shooting first and asking questions later. They've been under a Federal Judicial Order to stop that for a looooong time. Hands down the most dangerous city I ever lived in. They actually had to put live cameras on the buses that go directly to the police because of all the assaults that occured on them. People say how beautiful it is....Abq is brown, and only the sunsets liven it up. A good art scene and the green chili is good too, but believe me, its not worth it to live in that dump. You can get a green chili cheeseburger even in Arkansas now. Just look at other Abq youtube videos here, that's the real Abq.
Ngl. This was depressing. And I did not come here to hate. I was considering a transfer to ABQ, but it looks dead. Nashville even during the nastiest days is more lively.
There are actually LOTS of green trees but in winter, all the green is gone. I live here and believe me, from the 11th floor terrace of my apt. bldg. you see a blanket of green over the entire city, from east & west to north & south.
I went to Albuquerque a few years ago. I think it's the one of the few cities in America that I really taken aback by how beautiful it was. It was so different than anything I had ever seen.
Its more like Mexico city/Arizona hybrid thats why
I think ABQ and Phoenix Arizona are the most beautiful places to be especially if you like nature.
It’s that spacious feeling. Wide open spaces are just minutes away on all 4 sides
I moved back to Albuquerque from West Covina, CA. And I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. The main problem are absentee landlords and ruin it for so many. Greed is what is tearing down our beautiful country.
Albuquerque is like Tucson AZ
this is really breaking bad-ish
i think its the camera (its picture color) + winter (trees have no leaves)

Definitely! ABQ has roads that are built to accommodate a lot more cars, and Seattle's hilly terrain really did not help with the driving situation.
The reason for that is three people mapped out that roads of Seattle, lol

I rode my bike on the way to Old Town and there were like 70 people underneath an underpass ... gang i think? and people are camped out HOMELESS EVERYWHEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE - its CREEPY!
The fact that down the road its called "War Zone" isnt enticing...
All the Uber drivers had like 4 jobs and they were like TEACHERS and REAL ESTATE agents STRUGGLING to make extra cash!... NOT a good sign.
However, the extreme amoiunt of butterflies, hummingbirds, salamanders, beautiful large snails with like seashells on their backs... the nature (when OFF of the trillion Highways) is just incredible.. I looked up few days ago and saw half a rainbow just chillin over my head like floating around... its pretty magical... but you feel all alone all the time...
اني والدي متوفي ومدفون في هذه الولايه اشلون اقدر ازور قبره
That’s UNM not downtown Js.
Yep, I started the drive from UNM :)
I honestly hate it here and it's been hard to adjust. But its understandable for someone who moved from hawaii. Not tryna hate on anyone else's opinion
can you elaborate that why you find it hard here???
@@rishabhsharma7757 I didn't say that life was hard here. I was only saying that it's hard to adjust when you move to a completely different environment like from tropical and ocean to desert like
I'm moving here in 2 months from LA. I'm wondering how hard is it going to be for me to adjust.
@@ChrisMSepulveda honestly, everyone handles it differently. Im not saying life here is difficult, but if you really love where you live, then its going to be hard to accept and not be home sick. But then again, the crime rate is high and you will no longer be next to the ocean.
@@julianhernandez9376 If you don't me asking, how come you move?

Breaking Bad!
13:32 That's the Breaking Bad parking lot bomb scene location!
I'm not sure what time of day you videoed this, but the homeless, crazies and drug addicts are much, much more prominent that what I see here! The city is literally out of control in terms of crime and street drug addiction, w/ a police force that is known for shooting first and asking questions later. They've been under a Federal Judicial Order to stop that for a looooong time. Hands down the most dangerous city I ever lived in. They actually had to put live cameras on the buses that go directly to the police because of all the assaults that occured on them.
People say how beautiful it is....Abq is brown, and only the sunsets liven it up. A good art scene and the green chili is good too, but believe me, its not worth it to live in that dump. You can get a green chili cheeseburger even in Arkansas now. Just look at other Abq youtube videos here, that's the real Abq.
Not really. ABQ is safe if you are careful
I'm here after watching 'Breaking Bad'
very nice show. Isn’t it?
@@weicitytour yeah, I was completely into the show! I learnt plenty of lessons too!
Ngl. This was depressing. And I did not come here to hate. I was considering a transfer to ABQ, but it looks dead. Nashville even during the nastiest days is more lively.
It was probably a quiet Sunday morning or during a time when people aren't out
So there’s hardly any trees ....what’s the problem?😜
There are actually LOTS of green trees but in winter, all the green is gone. I live here and believe me, from the 11th floor terrace of my apt. bldg. you see a blanket of green over the entire city, from east & west to north & south.
Do you want to know why the city looked empty at that time? Simple, *pandemic.*
DON'T GO OUT AT NIGHT....
Much better than Seattle
