www.newmexicopb... - V.B. Price and his concerns and ideas about how the city of Albuquerque will grow and change as it enters a new century. He looks at Albuquerque with a loving eye, considering how the city's history, architecture, diverse cultures, environment and style of living -- the "personality" of Albuquerque -- will fare as it collides with unchecked future growth. Price wants to preserve the uniqueness that he found in Albuquerque when he left Los Angeles in 1958, seeking a "city at the end of the world."

I grew up in New Mexico but moved away 60 years ago, but NM is still alive in my heart. I agree with your thoughts and goals so eloquently stated. Keep telling people and pray they will listen.

We moved to Albuquerque in 1959. Back then Albuquerque was still a mid sized city of less than 150,000 people from all walks in life. An idyllic place to grow up. When we moved back to the Midwest in 1968 due to my Dad getting a much better job Albuquerque was beginning It's slow decline into what it is today. You could actually see it changing every day. Unfortunately what you have today in Albuquerque today is a dangerous sometimes violent place that would no longer be an optimum place to raise children. A school system that is 15 years behind most of other school systems in the country, and job prospects for the high school educated primarily service related. Plus a vibrant drug culture. Not the place to raise a family.

I lived here in '75 and '76, it was and still is a great place to be.I lived in a trailer park on N 4th Street. If you think it is dangerous, it's because your a wuss from the suburbs. School system is 15 years behind... ahahahahaa you do realize schools are federally monitored and guided, correct? But PLEASE OH PLEASE great one, show me this El Dorado that you live in. and I'll show you that the drug problem in your gated community is a prescription drug problem, but still a problem. Grow up, this is the 21st century. Wearing blinders happened in the horse drawn carriage days...!

I first visited in the 60's, and the demise of downtown against the expansion towards the foothills was in effect. In the 70's, I did business in the 'underground' mall at Civic Center, but the loss of the city was evident in missing landmarks, closed businesses, and vacant lots. The real estate and rent was cheap. I leased and renovated the entire floor of an office building paying $500/month . . . the city was coming alive again, but without downtown residents restaurants couldn't handle the ups and downs of a pretty busy Convention Center schedule . . . until a mayor in the 90's said a stupid thing in response to a political patronage firing, and destroyed the downtown . . . and it is still in ruins today, over 20-years later. The drug problem . . . crime . . . I see heroin needles all over the place . . . homeless sleeping in doorways . . . incompetence reigns supreme, with those smart enough fleeing the city. I've been to the poor neighborhoods and the 'war zones.' I've seen what crack cocaine did, dealers rushing into the city from California to take advantage of the depressed and uneducated seeking a moment of relief. I've been shot at for backing up, and had a gun in my face at an intersection . . . I call these crazies 'drug induced psychopaths.' I saw a Navajo woman, very smart, destroyed by a friend who gave her marijuana laced with 'spice,' a mind-melting synthetic cannabinoid, jealous maybe of her going to college.

I lived in Las Cruces, NM in 1977 and I was ever so homesick for the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. I remember saying out loud to my 22 year old self, "I'm so glad there are folks who love this landscape, otherwise they'd all be in Western North Carolina. " I still chuckle over that memory. I'm now 67 and Alive & Well and Living in the Beautiful Mountains of North Carolina 😍
