El Paso is a good place. It is very entreprenuerial and people here are friendly. the folks visiting the Sun Bowl event could not get over that fact.

El Paso is the second safest city for its size. Professional jobs are here and many more coming. The Children's Hospital and the Foster Medical School will alone bring over 1,000 good paying jobs.

The Symphomy, ProMusica, EP Opera, are a few of the outstanding cultural organizations here. Museums, art galleries abound. Cutlural events occur weekly and with many opportunities to participate. Juarez also offers another venue. they have some wonderful facilties and organizations.

Ft. Bliss will become a Base of Excellence and its growth will propell this area into a new era. Ever since city fathers put together the Ft. Bliss Reservation 60 years ago, they have hoped for the day the government would fulfil they part. That day is now. Ft. Bliss has the largest reservation in teh world; what forward thinking!

The weather here is gorgeous, but it is not cheap! I find El Paso to be pretty expensive, housing prices are high, and the property taxes are completely insane.

Agreed that Texas property taxes are relatively high (although remember no income taxes in Texas), but I really disagree about the others. Just curious as to where you are comparing things like housing costs? Housing costs in El Paso...and most of Texas for that matter...are some of the cheapest in the nation.

Maybe compared to living in the New Orleans area before Katrina, El Paso is expensive. Property taxes in Texas are much higher than in Louisiana.

Yeah, but was housing THAT cheap in New Orleans? (Have no idea, have never been to NO).
