I dont think they monitor that.......but it's obvious in this thread!

What is obvious in this thread is that there are a few posters who have made few posts. That doesn't automatically equate to posters making twenty or so different identities just to vote in a poll.

Someone from Tucson just got upset because they have lost on all these polls.

Just sayin....

I live in Albuquerque but am not interested in taking sides.

I really enjoy visiting Tucson, especially in the winter when it's chilly in Albuquerque. I like to go to the outdoor Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, Saguaro National Park, and San Xavier del Bac Mission. Sabino Canyon is also great to visit. I enjoy walking around Old Town and checking out the restaurants. Bisbee makes a fun side-trip. Sorry, I don't do any shopping or even know where the malls are in Tucson.

I think I would find living in Tucson a challenge because of the summers. But winter there is lovely.

Obvious that some ridiculous individual or individuals created several different screen handles to tilt a poll.

Likewise, it appears that some posters are upset because they are currently losing in the poll...this could go on and on...

BTW, I'm not quite sure how many Albuquerque vs. " " threads we should have to endure.

Instead, let's have fun in this thread. I want to hear more about how similar people believe the two cities are.

I think that Tucson and Albuquerque are alike in too many ways.

- Great Universities, close to downtown. Being to both, UNM deff wins.
- Both have lackluster downtown's, with small skylines. Albuquerque's wins though.
- Same architecture concepts of new buildings, even old ones.
- Lots of Cactus, Tucson has more palm trees. Many wont last in Albuquerque.
- Lots of crime in specific areas, lots of "officer related" shootings recently.
- The grid layout of the city
- Housing on the hills.... I think Tucson wins this one, Albuquerque just has much larger Mansions.
- Both now have Republican mayors. (Never thought I'd see the day ABQ having one)

For now, thats all I can think of.


Only thing Albuquerque has that Tucson does not, is Victorian Architecture. We have thousands of beautiful 1880 railroad homes on the historical list.
