It went from a vibrant city with a bright future to a dirty, crime and corruption ridden second world city, now, seemingly rapidly turning into a third-world hellhole.

Why? What happened?

I don’t KNOW for certain, but in posts #45 & 45 SpaceBar and CedarDave pretty much write what I would have.

Also unfortunately, it is my observation that when they do elect a Republican Mayor, they tend to be center-left at best, with maybe a few conservative positions here and there.

Bill Richardson, when he was Governor was handing out drivers licenses and voter registrations to any and all illegal aliens that wanted them... Even people not actually residing in NM. That didn’t help Albuquerque (or the rest of the state) a bit. And thanks to the Leftist State Legislature, it hasn’t changed much.
