came down to between Albuquerque and Lax Vegas, NV. Albuquerque was rated as half as hazardous as Las Vegas and that's why we're here in The Q. The one thing I've come to appreciate here is that

Yes, there is violence and car theft here but that can be avoided. Green Bay had a very good safety rating but there were horrific crimes there during the 7 years I lived there. Like the saying goes, you pays yo' money and takes yo' chance.
