> Farmington, Roswell and Clovis. Which is the better city.

Why did you pick these three towns? Just so you know, there aren't
really any "cities" in the whole state according to some definitions.

What do you consider "better?" Warmer? Bigger? Industries?

That might help you in getting better answers.

Well one thing i won't do is cut down any city/town in New Mexico as we get that all the time from Trolls that lurk here but i will say i met the friendliest down to earth people when i visited clovis several years ago. I just hope all 3 of them prosper which would be good for New Mexico.

well,im not asking anyone to bash the cities,so let me put it in a different way -which city has more going for it?I havent been to Farmington in a couple years,I was in Clovis last year and its been about 6 years since I was in Roswell,I know Farmington has alot of businesses popping up I hear and I hear that Clovis is growing about the same,but last year I didnt notice much growth, and Roswell I just dont really hear anything about.Is one city growing faster than the other,is there alot of housing being built,Im just curious about these 3 cause they are around the same size and I hear all are growing.

I have never lived in these 3 cities but i have visited them and also between reading posts about them on C-D for about a year now and also reading their newspapers online (50 states.com) here's my take.

All 3 are growing and there are new housing subdivisions in all 3 cities. Farmington is Booming do to high Natural Gas prices which has the refineries and Natural Gas wells up their expanding and hiring.

Clovis with the Cannon AFB expansion and also dairies and milk/cheese factories are expanding there and now the ethanol plants are coming in.

Roswell with its HUGE industrial park (Roswell industrial air park) is booming with many manufacturing companies there including Millineum Bus manufactuer which just reopened and is building city buses for large metro cities across the USA.

Sorry but I wouldnt live in any of those cities givin the choice. Albuquerque, Santa Fe, or Las Cruces are your best bets. Trust me I live here in NM.

Honestly Farmington I think is a better place than the others. I have been to all or atleast drivin through them. I think Farmington is nice.
