There seems somewhat of a cultural and moral-driven meltdown in the Western United States.

Seems like the wild west these days with so many con-artists, angry people and a survival of the fittest mentality.

Colorado has alot of angry people, 2nd highest rate of road rape.

I have also been in Albuquerque this year and it is not the same city as 2008 when I was last there. In 2008, it was a cleaner city without many homeless. Now, basically now it is full of open-air prostitution, hyperdermic needles all over busy city streets near UNM and is basically turning into a huge skid-row.

I was just in the Northern Plains for a week and people there aren't so harsh and there didn't seem to be a massive percentage of the population falling between the cracks of society.

Seems like much of the West has either seen huge increase in crime since the decade started or has a massive homeless crisis.

Albuquerque's problems are not economic. It has a good economy with lots going for the city.

The issue with the city is the culture of the entire city. The state has 70% of births by Medicaid.

Generation after generation of Medicaid babies that their parents are unfit to raise.

A cultural tradition of heroin addicts having babies while on Medicaid which has been going on a generation or two and now those Medicaid births of the past are now New Mexico drug-traffickers, smugglers and gangsters.
