Rural New Mexico, a couple of hundred miles from the nearest city with many coding jobs, an hour from a real grocery store. Remote work.
Dark skies. Vast quantities of wild life. Sane, friendly neighbors, sufficiently far away. Surrounded by public lands, great hiking starting out my back door. Cheap property and low taxes. Clean, peaceful, quiet.
- keiferski 3y agoWhat is your experience with crime? I am intrigued by New Mexico but going by the crime rates, it has some issues. I assume this is primarily in the cities but it is still something that has given me pause.
- atticora 3y agoAny random person you pass here is about as likely to be criminal as someone in Albuquerque, which isn't good. But since there are magnitudes fewer people here the risk of coming across them is much lower. A great response time from the local sheriff would be forty minutes, so self-help is prudent. My rural subdivision has had one break-in in two decades. The villain was caught on the resident's game cam, he was a usual suspect and a deputy picked him up the next day.
