Albuquerque is nice. Not Flat Decent city with interesting things to do. Fair community of hackers, coders and makers. Lots of movie money, lab money and spin offs. It's really booming around here lately Still possible to live walking distance to good food, bars, music, parks, and grocery stores for minimal green (especially compared to Bay Area). Santa Fe is expensive and full of retirees who are snobs. It's close enough to drive up or train up (coming soon) if you'd like to visit, but no one should live there. The only caution is NM is the land of entrapment. Stay for more than 2 years and you will never move away. (the spanish have been here for 500 years).
