I am hooked into a spring which for the first time in three years is not keeping up with demand so I have to get water deliveries for the last three months. This is like a new adventure learning of the area.

Moving to Santa Fe with an interest in a lively downtown area, you woul turn on the spigots, flush the toilet and pay your bills like most everybody.

You would be subject to restrictions because this is a place where it just doesn't rain that much. The restrictions, however, should not be too onerous because the citizens of Santa Fe City and County have mostly switched to xeric landscape and other water conservation measures. In addition, the jurisdictions have invested in the purchase of water rights so that we can rest and replenish the acquifer, and builders can't build unless they can purchase the water rights.

How are jobs there in SF?
Web design and graphic design.
How about technology?

I lived in Espanola most of my life, and i never had a gun, what a stupid thing to say.. ahahah people like you make me laugh.. and its not a rough city, why dont you move there and find out for yourself or are you afraid everytime you go yo walmart you might get shot at.. hahah

Espanola is not as scary as it's advertised



Definitely the place if you're looking to buy some Vogues.

Is there proof of that image being Espanola related, becuase Espanola just sorta isnt into the whole lowrider thing anymore.. if it was bad we would have all these anglos moving in .. now would we look at it this way if were bad, then taos is worse, and they say we invented gangs in new mexico hahahaha

They're not into Lowriders anymore? Lame.

Maybe batteries have become too expensive.

Are they more into big rims now?

(side note: no... the photo is probably not an Espanola ride... it's flickr stock)

Ya there are lowriders, but you will hardly see them anymore , plus the crime rate under mayor maestas has gone down 30% and there are now 10 more police officers
