In Minneapolis you literally need learn Scandinavian dance steps to negotiate the sidewalks which are thick with Scandinavian dance troops.

Just kidding, ApartmentNomad ;-)

Umm traffic is not bad in abq.Try seattle(4th worst in the nation) or portland.Can you say gridlock at 2pm.Cool.Or the literal crackerbox houses crammed together on NARROW non linear ( think right angles) non posted streets(is that 125th ave or 125th st.)Oh its 125th St AT 125th ave.Blurred by a 4 month downpour.All connected by equally NARROW non posted state highways.All smelling of either mold ,sewer,burning slash ,or pesticides from the mill.Where good food is the local panda express.and the culture is the local antique shop.
Yea give me the warmth ,sunshine,wide street/highways ,food that you can taste,art ,concerts,desert solitude/silence, nice people(well nice to me).Whats NOT to like.YOU can do worse that abq.

Pollution?
According to the American Lung Association we are in the top 10 cleanest in the nation.
So..Uhh no, Plus our homes have nice designs are built well... Mine is anyway.

Traffic here is alright, I wait in it like 20 min a day, in Las Vegas its about the smae so no complaining from me.

One of the things we loved about the ABQ area was the clean air.
