    What’s keeping me here is:

    • Family
    • Good food
    • Decent weather (not a fan of cold weather)
    • Low cost of living
    • Southern hospitality (helps if you’re a WASP)
    • The nearest non-shitty state is pretty damn far

    Everything else about the state pretty much sucks ass.

          No, doesn’t seem worse than Texas. Their police (at least in Albuquerque) seem terrible, but the people are nice and it’s reasonably liberal. Our kid is non-binary and there getting their PhD. They’ve have a pretty good experience.
