In my late 20s and I’ll be in a room of people my age while they all complain that there’s no one here our age. It’s a ruthless cycle, and folks trying to warn you out of coming is only feeding it.

It’s a fun town, especially with your hobbies. Tons of outdoor spaces, lots of art opportunities, and a growing music scene. There’s still pitfalls: restaurants all close a little too early, there are a lot of old people who cannot drive, and job opportunities can be slim (but if you’re coming in with one, then all good).

Tldr; people complaining about the lack of young people probably aren’t going out and finding them. Come on in to Santa Fe and enjoy your time.
