What's up with these new cars framming the less fortunate .is this the end times or is another kind of life taking over born NM resident

Albuquerque is like Gotham , but Batman has been dead for 10 years .

I have lived here for several years now (transplant) and while I've never been targeted, I have had to call the police quite a few times because of violent crimes happening close by. There's a lot of drug use and it's not hidden at all; people shoot up or smoke meth during the day in very visible areas and it goes by largely unenforced. Marijuana use is common but pretty socially acceptable in most groups as long as it's not obnoxious. Never leave your car unlocked, never leave anything in your car. Always carry some form of protection, whether it be mace, a knife, or a gun. Be aware of your surroundings and what part of the city you're in, and don't make friends with people who even seem a little sketchy. There are many great aspects of New Mexico, but you have to be vigilant about safety in this city. You simply can't afford to take any risks in Albuquerque without being a potential victim of a crime.
