Shithole trying to be a real city. A place for Californians to buy up property and live in gated communities. Worst schools and drivers in USA! Major fat ass people! Ignorant, arrogant and corrupt.

not a wasteland, not full of teepees, but rather a city in the center of new mexico; most residents spend their whole childhood wanting to get out of here, but the minute they leave they all want to go back; residents of this city understand that they do not sell newspapers at the newstand and you cant go skating at the ice house, only know directions because of the mountains and volcanos, know where to get a breakfast burrito at 2 in the morning, know what "Christmas" at a restaurant means, understand that there is probably the largest wealth gap in the world here, and think that anyone who lives in rio rancho has problems

The place at which you should have taken that left turn.

the coolest place in NM

(AL-bah-KIRK-ee), from the Latin: Absconditus : meaning hidden, concealed.

Located perfectly in the middle of the surface of the planet, Albuquerque has been refered to as the Shangri La of the western hemisphere. Visitors to the Duke City are astonished to discover that it is in the continental United States and no passport is required. It's residents are ferociously kind and loving, and have developed more that 500 different ways to cook green chili. After the world wide destruction of 2012, Albuquerque was elected capitol city of the new world. A jewel of the desert.

A homogenous, humble city in central New Mexico. Surrounded by burbs (Los Lunas, Rio Rancho) which makes the city span the length of the moon. The people live in their own world, a New Mexican reality. There's not a lot of diversity, families have been there for generations, which makes it a beautiful place for people rooted in their communities. There is a problem with drugs and gangs and lack of quality education, but overall there are a lot of charming qualities unlike any other city. It's authenticity stems from the unique cuisine, beautiful weather, incomparable accents, and 505 pride.

In the middle of the "Land of Entrapment," a hotbed of laziness, corruption, and stupidity. Home of the most dangerous drivers...in the world.

Quite possibly the shittiest city ever. The cops are all corrupt and often get away with killing their wives, fucking hookers on the hoods of their cruisers, and basically just doing whatever the fuck they want. Albuquerque has no "good side of town," only areas that are slightly less shitty. In the south (affectionately known as the Warzone due to it's gang violence) are cholos and gangster black folk. To the east are rich, stuck up white people that nobody likes; to the west are a mixture of cholos and retarded lower-class white people that need a little more chlorine in their gene pool. Lastly, you have the north, which is inhabited by mid- to lower-upper-class white folk with a huge sense of entitlement. Albuquerque suffers from a Meth Epidemic, and a large portion of the teenage population enjoys some form of illegal drug. If you are ever considering moving to Albuquerque, save yourself the time and shave your head with a cheesegrater, sandpaper your genitalia, and shove icepicks through both your eyes. It's better than getting stuck in the Land of Entrapment.
