well, I once was talking with a person at school and I asked them what they thought about the city and they said it's really similar to both Albuquerque and 1990's California, and it's very hot. I still don't know what they meant by that so I saw some pictures of Albuquerque and, yes, they were right. For context, I live in another country that has close ties to the United States, so maybe that's why!!

I'm from Albuquerque. It's a high desert as in high elevation and few trees. Closer to the Sandias and the Bosque there's trees. But I honestly don't know anything about where you live to know if they are similar.

I well say 90's Cali felt much safer then it does now. Albuquerque has its homless issue just like every American city but it's no where as bad as Cali or Florida. I visited Denver, Colorado recently and couldn't find a cop or a homeless person the three days I stayed there but they are very mono-ethnic state compared to New Mexico where they is no majority ethnicity.

It's very hot. But not sweltering because they have no humidity in the air like Florida. If you want to experience mind numbing heat head to Corpus Christi, Texas. That is by far the hottest I have ever been.
