Well we lived north PHX and worked in North Scottsdale. When we arrived in Northern NM, our first thought, especially my wife. Was WTF, this place is Ghetto! LOL Zoning is just whacked, you can have a $500K home right across the street from a trailer home. PHX is a rat race, whereas NM has a more rural feel to it, so very laid back mostly. That has totally grown on us, and that PHX rat race no longer appeals to us at all. We have family and friends in both Tucson and PHX, but prefer Tucson as it has that more laid back vibe going on. We dont live in ABQ, but my wife works there, she doesn't like it at all. But she works near the war zone, however she is transferred to Rio Rancho, so we'll see how she likes that area. The scenery where we live is beautiful if you like looking at mountains while enjoying a frosty malt beverage or a glass of vino. We didnt have such a view in PHX.
How do you compare PHX with ABQ in terms of living and lifestyle?

Thanks for the reply (to everyone else, too).
More or less what I've heard from others, but always good to get many views.
Thinking about a change.
