Even though I prefer Albuquerque, this comment is obtuse, offensive, and ridiculous. First of all it was a congresswoman that was shot. Second, I commend the citizens of Tucson for their reaction to the massacre. They poured their hearts out into the community for healing and recovery. There were also many heroes at the scene that were saving lives, even the media shed light upon. It's pretty sad that you could judge a whole community based on one mentally ill and deranged man. I think the way Tucson reacted to this tragedy deserves honor and respect, and shame on you for making such a disrespectful comment. And lastly, the congresswoman came out of it a strong survivor.

Anyone can afford Louis Vuitton, maybe not on a regular base but if you really wanted to have it all you have to do is save for it.

Sure it does. Otherwise they wouldn't be there in the first place.

I pick Albuquerque because of the climate and proximity to Santa Fe and Taos.

+1

I think Southwestern art, history, food, and culture are most palpable in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Taos.

Portland, Bellevue, WA, and Natick, Mass (have you heard of Natick?) all have Tiffany's and many other upscale stores but that doesn't discerne what makes these places great or not. Culture, history, artistry, food, substance, topgraphy (of which I know Tucson has a healthy dose of), things like that make a city special. Now how do those and so other elements match Albuquerque?
