15. Where in NM are you that there is absolutely NO decent housing

and your grocery stores have only one or two choices of any given item? And rotten produce?

I believe the tax breaks to the movie and TV industry have been reinstated.

Yes, the public schools aren't very good, unless you move to Los Alamos and those are among the best in the nation, thanks to the quality of the parents there.

The level of political corruption is appalling.

And Martinez has not yet been re-elected. She probably will be, which is unfortunate, but unless you've time-travelled here from next November, she's still in her first term.

I seriously doubt the RailRunner will eliminate Saturdays service, but I could prove to be wrong on that.

And if you hate it that much here, you really should relocate. It is simply not worthwhile to stay in a place you despise, no matter who else likes it.

I've now been here nearly six years, and while I'm glad I don't have kids in the public schools here, I'm very glad this is where I currently live.

Hi Sheila...How would youn compare Santa Fe to Taos in terms of living? whathehell Oct 2014 #16
