I wonder what party they voted for?
The one long time resident probably voted Republican.

Well I didn’t vote commie and they raised my taxes in Boulder county. It’s the coastal parasites that have moved in waving cash around.
They voted Rat.

It’s all dems out there. We had a summer house in the sangre de Cristo mountains in Costilla county from 2004-2017. It was beautiful but Hickenlooper was voted governor and allowed the drugs to pour in and with it was every derelict from everywhere. They squatted in the mountains in their pickup truck campers, box cars tents you name it. The Rio grande became a sewer . People crapped in 5 gallon buckets. I saw people come to the reservoir where I was fishing and fill up those big water cooler bottles and take them back with them. After we sold in 2018 they had that big fire called the Spring fire started by a homeless guy (illegal immigrant) cooking in the mountains, living out of his truck. It burned over 108,000 acres. Our old house didn’t catch fire but the new occupants were evacuated. I bet it’s even worse now. There’s a ton of places in those mountains to hide. We were blessed to have sold and got our money and left.
They voted for the party you would assume a county which is just about majority-Mexican would vote for. But those voters very likely are not the ones who pay property taxes; it's mainly the Trump voters.
