[@turbomustang84]

Albuquerque is a fairly large city so like any big city crime is definitely here but so overplayed by the media. I'm originally from Las Angeles but have lived here for 25 years and have never had a problem.

[@AllAboutABQ]

Awesome @turbomustang84! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.🙌💯

[@franciscochavez1010]

35 years old now. Born and raised in abq. Moved to Austin for about 2+ years and recently moved back. Loving it all over again. I think in the next 2-3 years there are gonna be some good things going on in abq.

[@AllAboutABQ]

Go lad you’re back! We’ve got big things coming our way, you’re right!

[@magekaz6719]

My experience in ABQ has been that New Mexicans have a heart of gold, treat people right and you'll have a friend for life.... cross people in the wrong way (many folks here are armed) and you will pay the price. Don't get careless. No road rage or rudeness. Be joyful and ABQ will rejoice with you!

[@cathrynocken488]

Retiring in ABQ!!! Will call you!!! Love the Coffee place!!! Very active from Colorado!!!

[@AllAboutABQ]

Sounds great! Excited to have you in ABQ!

[@pbat77]

The homeless population is growing at such a rapid rate but I love it because they are so diverse as a community. I love when I’m having coffee in the morning watching friends of the neighborhood 💩 on the sidewalk totally nude. It’s so free here I love it! Oh and the fentanyl use is 2nd to none. 5 stars all the way.

[@AllAboutABQ]

Hey @pbat77! Do you live in the area?

[@Malomio]

Its worse in portland

[@richards1191]

Fentanyl is way worse in rural Wisconsin than in Albuquerque 😂

[@AllAboutABQ]

Patrick I’m a fan of the far northeast heights because of the east access to the mountain!!

[@patrickrodgers1380]

Awesome!Brendan Rodgers is a big name! You’ll love it here..plenty of Rockies fans!

FIRST IN CRIME LAST IN EDUCATION WITH A DASH OF AN INCREDIBLE HOMELESS POPULATION SPIKE. TYPICAL SANCTUARY CITY. KEEPING IT REAL💯

[@AllAboutABQ]

You're not wrong! How do we make a change in the right direction?

[@dukeford]

@@AllAboutABQ As long as the politics and demographics stay the same, nothing will change.

[@richards1191]

First in crime is laughable 😂😂 Albuquerque is not even close

[@1AnaV]

​@@AllAboutABQGreat thought provoking question that invites discourse and a community think tank. I would love for your audience to reply to this.

[@CrazyNativeFilms]

laid off of my remote job and can't find a career job here in ABQ. Most people who get the good jobs keep it unitl they retire. Unlike most cities where people move around a lot. People tend to stick around in the same job, i can't blame them, the city is pretty stagnant in growth and barely any developments. The only pros is it keeps the freeways clear and gas prices down. I moved here from Phoenix and of course the weather. Good luck trying to find a "good" job. I am an engineer by the way. When a job opens up its a war to get it as compared to phoenix.

[@AllAboutABQ]

I appreciate your feedback @stevenhatathlie. Is there anything else you'd like to see more of in future real estate videos?

[@dukeloo]

The rail is E/W delinage and Central N/S

[@AllAboutABQ]

What?

[@jjman533]

You can't ignore the high poverty rate in NM. The crime rate in Albuquerque is also more than DOUBLE the national average for violent crimes and property crimes.

[@AllAboutABQ]

You’re not wrong!

[@dukeford]

Yes, you can and should ignore it, since the poverty rate is skewed by a specific demographic group who by tradition prefer to be broke and impoverished. The crime rate, unfortunately, has been a constant for many, many years.

[@AllAboutABQ]

@@dukeford In your opinion, is the crime rate perpetuated by a specific demographic as well? Is it possible that our crime rate is culturally acceptable?

[@patrickrodgers1380]

ok skip thx for that. location maybe the most important thing for me and dont know the area yet.

[@GaryQuintana-vu3dd]

I scared coming to Albuquerque for the bloom Fiesta I'm looking for home maybe I'll contact you thanks buddy

[@AllAboutABQ]

For sure Gary!

[@rephaiah12]

Frito pies are served at picnics too. I wouldn’t recommend downtown cause of shootings. The breweries are cozy. Beer lab and bombs away have become favorites along with Nexus cause they have gumbo and all those places allow dogs.

[@AllAboutABQ]

Awesome @rephaiah12! Thanks for sharing the tip.🙌💯

Downtown is fine and getting better by the day.

I lived in Rockford Illinois. 2 to 3 people get shot everyday. Even the police station gets shot up time to time. When I lived there I heard so much gunfire everyday I thought it was back in Afghanistan
