ABQ is an ok city. It definitely did not wow me. It truly reminds me as a blue collar working city almost like a Pittsburgh but without all the sunshine. Lot's of homeless people all over the city. I personally would not live here. Weather is ok!

3/5 - Okay

Albuquerque is an ok city. Lot's of homeless people around the city.
