Dona Ana county( Las Cruces) is one of the counties receiving a new producer.
The place isn't bad to live in as long as you can put up with the people here that think the world revolves around the town. There are awesome homes here and nice ones as well.

As far as the police it is pretty simple.The city cops are very much a joke.The Sheriffs are much easier to deal with and more lenient. The state police are laid back and let it flow,except for DWI. If you have done something and the SP show up you are in trouble.

If you have the money you can get an awesome place here right now.I don't know how much home values have fallen nationwide but here you can get a million dollar house for 400-600k.
