Is Albuquerque, New Mexico a good place to be overall?
I am trying to make a move out of Chicago, IL. This place is not all that as the allure it had on me before moving here. I think I need to be some place laidback with good weather so I can go to work and school without worrying about bad weather (atleast 9 months of the year or more), traffic, close to 3 million people, expense, not having any parking space in a very crowded city. Is Albuquerque the place to be?

It is a very nice city. As a matter of fact, all of New Mexico is nice. I can relate to you on Chicago. I used to live there and I detest that place.

Albuquerque is okay but it is developing big city issues. Sante Fe New Mexico is more of an artist community. It is nice but the city is elevated above sea level. Ideal place is Las Cruces New Mexico. It is in the southern part of New Mexico off of Interstate 10. Small city, beautiful area and peaceful. It is right off of Interstate 10 in case you'd want to drive east to El Paso Texas or west to Phoenix Arizona or Los Angeles.
