I always saw NM as AZ's less populated twin. Had thoughts of retirement there. I mean, I love AZ, and all that it offers for the outdoors, love the terrain and country, but population has tripled since I grew up there, and faces the inevitable decline that comes with mass azzhole migration from Kalifornia and all that comes with that cancer. Thought NM with the same population AZ held in the 70's could be an option. But always wondered why it was consistently a blue state, and just how bad that had fugged things up for the state.
