ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — New Mexico has been ranked the eighth worst state in which to retire by the financial website WalletHub.

The site ranked the states using 41 metrics on affordability, quality of life and health care.

New Mexico fared especially poorly on property crime, ranking 50th. It did better on adjusted cost of living, where it ranked 18th; the percentage of population aged 65 and older (19th); and on health care facilities per capita (19th).

The state ranked just ahead of Louisiana and just below Hawaii.

According to Wikipedia:

“Ed Boland, in The New York Times, March 2002, attributes the term to heroin addicts who frequented Great Jones Alley in New York City, off Great Jones Street between Broadway and Lafayette Street,[1] although the slang term has obviously been around much longer.

Dan Waldorf explains that the noun use originated from heroin users.[2]”

Santa Fe was a wonderful little town in the fifties and sixties until the New Yorkers discovered it and it became just another tourist trap.

I love The Range Cafe in Bernalillo. First went there over 20 years ago and it just keeps getting better.

Yes, indeed. Just had their chicken fried steak with green chile gravy this morning. Took the whole family. Not cheap, but worth it on occasion.

Lots of great places to visit in NM that are not too far off the beaten trail. The wife and I love taking the train up to Santa Fe on weekends, and also we make a few trips a year down to Bosque Del Apache.

I really beg to differ...New Mexico
overall is the best heaven for true
authentic “Mexican” cuisine....red
or green? California wouldn’t know
a hot chili pepper from a green pepper.
I’ve lived in both states.

That place makes part of the worst traffic jam on that part of the coast highway every dang day. Crosswalk fifty feet away and idiots run right across the road in front of you.

My folks retired to Las Cruces in the late 70s. It was a nice place to retired to, then, and after Dad passed away in 1990, Mom continued to live in their home until she passed, two years ago. My sister can not wait to sell the place and retire to Pennsylvania. I don’t blame her.

Las Cruces has become an absolute shithole...just another Democrat-controlled barrio.
