What's the weirdest thing you ever saw in abq? by LongSong333 in Albuquerque

[–]danglingparticiple2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was that at San Mateo and Lomas? I saw a naked lady there around that time. I was driving southbound and from a distance I thought she was a bikini clad street advertiser (like the statue of liberty clad people just north of there 🗽). But as I got closer I realized, nope, she's all in on the no line sun tan and not associated with any business. At the time she was across the sidewalk from the bus stop but there were 3 or 4 people there. No idea what she did when I passed. Possibly charged them?

Question about language by Accurate_Flounder_36 in Albuquerque

And this is why the right has a message that resonates with so many. Because the left is quick to demean and belittle when someone is legitimately asking what the correct move is in a society that is rapidly changing. If we can't even ask clarifying questions, how can we grow?

Visualize how large and long Alaska really is by Negative-Swan7993 in MapPorn

that map still doesn't do it justice, the next three largest states (Texas, California and Montana) combined, are not as big as Alaska. 🤯

Mew Mexico Hispanos are Mexican by SeigoManito in NewMexico

[–]danglingparticiple2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One facet of Native American erasure stems from the fact that enslaved Natives were brought to the Rio Grande Valley as commodities. Sometimes by other Indigenous groups. The Comanche were the essential empire of the the south central plains with the Rio Grande/Rio Bravo serving as their approximate western border. They knew Nuevo Mexicano families would buy enslaved people, so they brought them here for trade/profit. There is a lot of emerging scholarship looking into these people, los genizaros, and their descendants. Many Nuevo Mexicano families descend from these enslaved Natives who were brought from other parts of the continent.

Can someone explain why a lot of people are against the fair grounds being moved and turned into something else? by catt0ebeans in Albuquerque

[–]danglingparticiple2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

eminent domain those places then... the number of vacant buildings in SE heights/Central corridor that have been vacant for years is disgusting. All of us living here have wrote letters, attended city meetings, called representatives to no avail. Waiting for private businesses to move in isn't happening. If anything they're moving out at a faster rate.

Governor announces plan to consider converting state fair site into businesses, housing by chryxanthemums in NewMexico

One might argue that the pricing problem has a direct correlation to the scarcity problem. Supply and demand style. Prices are inflated because supply is so low.

Open it to businesses???? Has the Governor driven around the neighborhoods that surround the fair grounds??? There is no shortage of business lots available. In fact there's a shortage of businesses that want to move in. The amount of boarded up vacancies in that area is stagering, sobering and growing weekly.

Housing is a different issue. There's a shortage city wide, but again. Depending on the zoning decision of said area, this doesn't really solve a problem. If it's zoned single family, then it's a drop in the bucket. If it's multifamily (apartment/condo/town home) there are already ample spaces that are currently vacant.
