Born and raised In Albuquerque, if you find yourself driving through. Take a drive down Central, specifically the Central and Wyoming area is considered to be the most ghetto part of the state. Much love to you for what you do.
Thanks for showing my hometown, Charlie. Never once had a problem growing up in Southern New Mexico. Used to live in that downtown Las Cruces area. It's gotten worse the past few years due to more homeless showing up. Otherwise, it's okay enough. Not much going on out there. Albuquerque though is horrible, one of the worst parts of the Southwest.
My husband and I are going on a cross-country road trip next year that will take us through New Mexico. Should we just avoid Albuquerque altogether? I'm from the East Coast and know nothing about ABQ.
@JustAnAverageWoman69 stopped there on my way to Vegas from across the country. It's loaded with homeless and the usual crime. Mind your p's and q's like anywhere else and you'll be good.
Spent a night in Las Cruces once. Really nothing going on whatsoever in that city. Even the tumbleweeds have packed up & gone home by 8. That being said, my friend and I were walking all over creation very late at night and at no point found ourselves in any sort of peril or even the suggestion of danger.
A lot of college towns have serious hoods. I live in Athens, GA and some parts are no joke, simply liking a football team isn’t enough to keep you safe around there
You can rent a whole house there for 650.00 a mo if you don;t mind the heat, the lack of stores, or lack of anything to do. That;s not a bad looking place for being so cheap to live.
Thats BS about no stores, etc. EVERY store in Las Cruces is within about 15-20 minutes of EVERY neighborhood there. It's probably the easist city in America with population of 100,000 to drive anywhere in the city.
"Hood" you just forgot to add neighbor to it! 😊 This tour is grandfathered foundation of generation to generation families brought up, (home) where neighbor knew neighbor and everyone was the neighborhood watch. Benavidez, Telles, Mata, Sanchez, Caffado, Garcia, Diaz, Gamboa, Pacheco, Silva, Compian, Hernandez, Modragon, Moreno, etc...
Exactly. The worse thing about this barrio (not a "hood") is that it's a little scruffy. No one bothers anybody. People say there's no one on the street? That's because the are at WORK, unlike Baltimore, Detroit, etc.
Their hood is in the fucking desert. I go to NM quite a bit to see my ex's family and one thing I'll give them is they have the widest fucking roads. Doesn't matter if it's in a hood or a nice neighborhood. That is the one thing that always strikes me when I'm there. You can double park on both sides and someone can still get through the lane in the middle.
I have the misfortune of living outside (near) Chicago too. Hoods come in all shapes and sizes. I have some family in this town. They want to move me in, within the next year. I would love join them. Chicagoland is not what it used to be, let alone the city itself. I plan to assimilate, and not just be a transplant. It's similar to Toledo, where I spent a year (and a half), 2015-2017. Nothing special, just a basic, mid-sized city.
You seem to forget this part of the country was once part of Mexico. When I drive down Mesquite in the downtown area, it reminds me of the pueblo in Chihuahua my parents were from.
I grew up in Alamogordo, 50 miles from here. Nice place to be from. These towns are very dusty and dirty. No lawns. No rain. No industry. Sad but true.
I used to be so in Love with Las Cruces...not any more! I find it sad that houses sit for years deteriorating because anyone who works on them ends up destroying them in the process. Seems the Desert wants it all back...even concrete crumbles it is so sub-standard! Our world is doomed to return to the Dust!
NM as a state has had high rates of violent crime compared to other states for decades now. So does Alaska. Two states you don't normally think of as being violent.
Shit loads of addiction there. I have never seen anything like it. I visit quite a bit and seems like every other person is talking about their addiction or so high you can tell they're still using. The people I'd stay with would tell me half their kids or grandkids addicted to meth mostly but also H and pills. They are a pretty upper middle class group too. I have a good friend here in Tx who is from Roswell and Los Cruces and he used to be an addict too.
Thank you so much. We are exploring towns for relocation. You know the dilemma. I love the house if I could just pick it up and put it over there (where it's safe, in the right school district, closer to work, etc).
I figured you’d hit NM sooner or later it’s weird af that no one knows the hoods there shit is worse then cali in my opinion Albuquerque is the worst place I ever seen out in the Us
I’ve lived in Espanola, it’s ranked worse than Detroit and Baltimore not sure why it never gets the attention, it has higher violent crime than STL which is also surprising even for a city of 10,000
It's worst over here on the east coast. I'm actually gonnna move here from the east coast in a month. From west Texas originally, went around the world, found myself in Virginia and can not wait to leave. I think the economy is showing its nasty face across the country. If you dont have a sustainable career, you're not going to make it anywhere.
Same story as every hood. Isolation/ghettoization, no decent jobs or stable jobs, lack of amenities, community engagement and investment. Once it reaches a certain tipping point, it just becomes a cyclical spiral downwards. Plus, add gangs and drugs to the mix to top it off. Scares newcomers off so the population dwindles too until the density decreases to the point where it becomes even more desolate and isolated.
I came here for NMSU for college. Omg I’m so glad to finally be leaving! Jesus, in the 2.5 years I’ve been here, had my key from stolen at a gym in broad daylight, my girlfriends gym bag stolen, uncles house robbed, fought crackheads being suspicious on our property late at night 3 times, at a ditch by our house, a crackhead overdosed and his friends took his drugs off his body and left him there dead all night, 2 times a drunk plowed through a concrete wall on our property, and CRACKHEADS EVERYWHERE! Screamed at me in my car countless times for no reason, and the icing on the cake (what made me decide to leave) was that a schizophrenic fentanyl addict killed a police officer in broad daylight with a kitchen knife! Permanently disturbed me, I’ll never be able to forget that tragedy. Prices here are ridiculous, and some jobs break federal law and actually pay below minimum wage. And the only way to be comfortable here is if you live in Sonoma ranch, the top 20% wealthiest population here. This place is turning into Albuquerque. I’m so relieved to finally be leaving this doomed city
New Mexico is a beautiful state with a rich culture and great people, but unfortunately one of the most depressing in the US. All my father’s ancestors for 400+ years are from Taos. Many of them over the years have left the state due lack of opportunity, high unemployment, high prices, drugs / alchohol, low standard of living and crime. New Mexico deserves better. Get rid of the strangle hold the libs have and this could become a very prosperous state.

Tf is las cruces known for lmao
Restaurant at 3:03 is a great place, highly recomended. The name is La Nueva Casita Cafe.
Agree. Its a pleasant part of near downtown also.
best salsa in town!
When I visited Las Cruces, I was about to eat there but it looked a little too sketchy so I ended up eating at the Si Señor Restaurant nearby.
A lot of college towns have serious hoods. I live in Athens, GA and some parts are no joke, simply liking a football team isn’t enough to keep you safe around there
7:53 She says turn right on S. Mesquite Street, but CharlieBo turns left. He showed her who's boss. hahaha.

I lived there for 6 month winter/spring 2022 and really loved it
Low key some of the best tacos ever!
Wow, houses look like desert houses or Mexican Indian.
Geee wonder why
They look like Spanish colonial houses, found in Mexico and other latin American countries
@@albertoaguilar9773 in New Mexico? Damn you people are geniuses.
Las Cruces is very close to the border, so yes that makes sense.

This isn’t really the hood hood, I say Espanola has the worst hoods I mean it literally has a higher property crime and violent crime than Detroit
@@jayl878 lmao
Yeah man, keep it moving.. lol.
Much luv from buffalo NY
seems safe to me if most of the houses don't have grills on their windows... some even have their front doors right next to the road
Alotta old homes especially in New Orleans have homes with the front door right in the street
You seem to forget this part of the country was once part of Mexico. When I drive down Mesquite in the downtown area, it reminds me of the pueblo in Chihuahua my parents were from.
Charlie well on his way to earning his PH.D. in Advanced Thuganomics.
I grew up in Alamogordo, 50 miles from here. Nice place to be from. These towns are very dusty and dirty. No lawns. No rain. No industry. Sad but true.
My old childhood haunts. I grew up in the early 70's and 80's a stones throw away from Noplito Restaurant. Good memories!
We have to see it when the sun goes down
Looks about the same. Less people after dark from my experience.
Beautiful- terracotta and stucco architecture, even in the hoods. It’s dope
it’s weird seeing cruces through other ppls eyes yk like some think it’s so pretty were as i think of it as home nd nothing special 🤷🏽♀️
Those aren't hoods, its just regular New Mexico.
You call that a ghetto? Check out Kensington in Philly. Walking zombies.
Or the whole detroit
ABQ has some pretty bad areas with druggies too like Central and Zuni, but Kensington is indeed a new level of bad.
@@jimmythegentconway8690 been to Detroit It not even that bad except for the abandoned houses. Philly & Baltimore looks way worst
@@jimmythegentconway8690bro ur acting like Espanola isn’t more dangerous than Detroit
@@kayyjohnson8325Ain't no way Detroit looks better than Baltimore. I mean, Detroit looks like a literal bombed out ghost town on the Eastside.

Amazing ❤
I lived off of Tornillo and Lucero Ave in a corner duplex. My old hood still looks the same just panted a different color
Gostei de novo México as ruas e o formato da cidade com Casas de Alvenaria são semelhante ao padrão brasileiro das grandes cidades brasileiras
I don't see tents on the sidewalks
Wow , clean .
Looks like Santa Rosa, NM
It looks run down, but clean. Where are all the homeless?
They are over at Sprouts market asking the rich folks for a hand out. Don’t feed the animals, they are wild & keep coming back ‼️
Espanola 🌚
Charlie film yourself driving through Alaskan hoods
I rode my motorcycle by that church once. Hard to forget.

Looks 1000 times better than Detroit
yes
This maybe, but Espanola Nm is more dangerous than Detroit by a little
Looks nice.
It looks peaceful but NM had been experiencing a lot of crime and drug addiction lately especially in Albuquerque
