Trapped Between Turkey and Azerbaijan: The Southern Armenia Route: https://youtu.be/-sbdNeBSl6Q
My Aunt and Uncle lived in Artesia for years. When we went to visit entering N.M. from AZ. The 1st thing I remember crossing the border line was the wind, and the tumbleweeds blowing around. Then I realized even the Saquaro didn't grow like they did in AZ. The best part was getting caught in the "pink" sandstorm. They could stop a car engine while they swirled all around the car windows. It was an Alice in Wonderland experience. Pink al around the car. My Dad worried we might get clobbered by one of the 7 million semis that used that road. We made it to my Aunt's place but the windshield was literally ptted from the millions of grains of sand. It was cool to look at but a bitch to drive with. And hot. Hang the wash on the line but get it back in in 15 or 20 minutes or it was stiff as a board. But going south to swim in The Pecos was fun. Just don't swallow the water. It's full of minerals and yuk. But my newphew after about 3 days had all the warts on his feet fall off. Then the house was across from the railroad yard and my Uncle could spot storms coming our way from down in Texas. Sure enough in a couple of hours wind, rain, and lightning up the rear. When lightning would hit a transformer in the R.R. yard it lit up the whole neighborhood. That was my experience as a kid in N.M. Oh that and eating rattlesnake.

It’s a blue state and poor
New Mexico is the fifth-largest state by area, yet it remains one of the least populated in the country with only 2.1 million people. It’s a place of profound emptiness, surrounded by neighbors that are booming. Texas, Arizona, and Colorado are magnets for new residents, drawing in millions with promises of jobs and opportunity. Yet New Mexico sits quietly, its population growth nearly flat between 2020 and 2024. So what’s going on?

I love videos that suggest people not to move to New Mexico. Don't know about most New Mexicans but I'm glad that people aren't moving here. I personally like New Mexico just the way it is.

If people want desert they’ll go to Arizona, plains people go to Texas. People want mountains they go to Colorado. Meanwhile NM just chilling there
@alexwathogoma9707New Mexican Resident here, do NOT move here!!
Stay were your at or move far from New Mexico!!
New Mexico could honestly call itself "The Welfare State"...
@Joe_GoofballIf any of you travel to or through Alamogordo, please try a burger from Hi-D-Ho's on the main strip (white sands blvd, not the bypass road). It's a lot like Whataburger, it's a tiny place but super memorable.
@Destin_MevusasThe Land of Entrapment.....all of us that were raised there have done everything we can to get away from it. The terrain and environment arent the problem. The politics, cultural bounds, and corruption are!
@XSAInternationalLand of enchantment. 🙅🏽♂️ Land of entrapment. ✅
@RMA_432_Never live in ABQ the only good school is abq high and then its just crime and heat and dessert, don't make my mistake stay away
@George-n5g4gEast of the Mississippi?
@Kilmar2026The state is beyond blue, thus the economic going down. When you tax your businesses to the maximum then they are are no really wanting to hang around and have a minimum work crew. Vote red. Texas is red. Get a clue
@hectorquintana5219The woman who loves me lives in New Mexico. I may be there sooner than later.
@user-zw9mv6pv5yYou are not AI, that is a +++++++.
@renograziano8464I love New Mexico! Especially the mountains. ❤
@Jac-h7xBecause NM is very much like a developing foreign country. Fun to visit but not a place most want to live.
@wuggawugga82I love New Mexico, the land, desert, and its people.
@YS-ud8hpThe air does not smell like ponderosa pines, it smells like trash, because the cities there are filthy.
@bearattsSo why are all the Texans moving in
@joshmatty1077I sure seem to see a lot of Texas and California plates, despite people not moving in...
@SirGeoshNEW MEXICO PRESENTS A DICHOTOMY OF EXQUISITE BEAUTY NATURAL WONDER AND SEVERE VIOLENCE AND PROPERTY RELATED CRIME. THE COST OF HOUSING IN DESIRABLE PLACES IS VERY HIGH. ( SANTA FE example ). SERVICES ARE
FAR AND IN BETWEEN. MUCH OF THE LAND IS COMMITTED TO VAST RANCHES OF VARIOUS ILK. SCHOOLS APPEAR TO BE
UNDER FUNDED ALONG WITH OTHER MUNICIPAL RESPONSIBILITIES.THERE
ARE INTERESTING PLACES TO SUCH AS SANDIA AND THE TOWN BUILT TO HOUSE THE SCIENTISTS WHO DESIGNED AND HELPED BUILT THE ATOMIC BOMB.
Spot on about how graduates from there move out of state for better opportunities. I graduated from NMSU (in Las Cruces) in 1999. I took a job immediately in Southern California because the amount of money I could make in NM was pennies compared to just about anywhere else. I've been in Southern California since...and made quite a life for myself. Unfortunate, because New Mexico really is a beautiful place.
@Greeno342New Mexico is known world wide for their delicious hatch green chili 😋😁
@bqkmg2037Tl;dw meth
@DrewLonmyPillowWe left Albuquerque for NE AZ during the Plannedemic Loser-Gruesome was the last stràw.
@michaeltaylor4984Sad but true. I moved to ABQ out of college in the mid 90s for its beauty and spiritual draw but had to leave after 2 years because I could never find a decent job. It killed me that I had to leave.
@eddi_e4Red or Green?
@krystle1940The cold doesn’t bother me, the rain does.
@goombatimeNative here. Rio Rancho is looking like southern Cal. Ugly, crowded. You can brag all about the city, but I would rather have wide open spaces, instead of of people.
@LM-ms9kxNobody moves to NM because it's boring and ugly and the people there are morons and muppets who constantly complain about the shitty conditions and corrupt politicians but still blindly vote blue every election like California does, but at least California has Disneyland. If it wasnt for NMSU, and the military, they'd have even less ppl moving there.
@salleymudd5488I say keep New Mexico as it is. Thats what makes it great
@Denzel_Crocker6599We are known for meth and car theft
@Alexmyself1112I am from New Mexico and it is beautiful here!
@thegamingpugs6724To be with my Raza I'd move back to my mother land in New mexico. My patent left new mexico duing the depression.
Now we're stuck in shitty ugly wy.
The demonic Democratic Party have destroyed New Mexico the same way they are destroying Colorado then you wonder why nobody’s moving there
@rjh2772Albuquerque New Mexico is my Kingdom, come visit my beloved's and enjoy your time here with us, have some New Mexico Green Chile.
@josephgros-ventre469We have many producers that rent cars from us to go to White sands and some leave large tips.
@josephgros-ventre469La Fama de Heisenberg
@Roc-z6hWater is king in NM. Don't waste water here. A pure fact. Shame on you for taking showers beyond 10 minutes.
@circlesthesunThey only accepted as a state to NM because they changed its demographic: raplaced the indigenous (killing them) for whites and replaced catholics for Protestant
@alexisgarcia9452NM resident here. The reason the population is so low is because of the net annual rate of alien abductions per resident moving here.
@aaronpierett9150Bad news for AZ, they cannot continue to support their growth. Lacking water is now a huge problem for them. People are now leaving. So the moral of this story is that the grass is not always greener on the other side of the boarder.
@candicewilliams6473It's the homicide state in the U.S. Why am I still living here?
