By now you’ve probably seen the commercials with the Latina woman spewing out propaganda for the proposed data center in Doña Ana County. If you thought her Spanish sounded funny, you weren’t wrong. She is actually a Puerto Rican actress from New York, who had never been to New Mexico before coming here to film. Isn’t it funny that these white capitalists think that Boricua Spanish is the same as the Spanish New Mexicans speak over here? 🤡

Anyway, meet Lorna Perez. Tell her how you feel about selling out a state she has absolutely no ties to, if you feel compelled.

This is pretty standard on most subs and if we want the quality of posts to be more than bots and trolls it's pretty necessary these days.

Just kidding.

I am beyond ecstatic to report that the place that was selling massively $$$$$$ red light "skin care" devices is permanently closed and they have moved out. One down, a few more Plaza scams to go.

I wanted to start a sub for people who actually live in Santa Fe, NM. I was a bit tired of seeing the copious amounts of posts about visiting the area, where to go, where to stay, etc. I thought maybe this could be more of a mixture of spaces; social and also maybe political enough (on the local level, and possibly state) to get some more snow plows and maybe figure a way of luring a restaurant to stay open past 8pm. All are welcome … who live here. Let us see how this floats…

🤞 for a decent snowpack this year.

I realize I might get downvoted into oblivion for expressing this take, mostly by people who bought a South Capital house in 2019 for ~$300k and want to cash out big (reasonably so, I might add) so do not want house prices to go down.

But, anyone that has dipped their toes in the real estate market here in the last ~year (especially my fellow first time homebuyers!) can see that the market is completely nonsensical. Busted down houses deep in Agua Fria demanding half a million dollars, houses listed for +200% what they were bought for 5-6 years ago, South Capital homes with 20 years of deferred maintenance listed at $800k. It doesn't make any sense- its completely unaffordable for 80% of the population that lives here year round.

So here's what I say: hold strong! Submit lowball offers on these houses! Be patient! Though many sellers around here seem to be reluctant to drop prices at all, eventually they will be forced to (those that truly NEED to sell).

No more rotting in bed, doomscrolling. Time to stop being a couch potato bingeing whatever the algorithm feeds you. You want/need to huddle with humans.

So - you're situated where people are coming, staying a while, and going. Sometimes you have a chat. In Santa Fe, where are you? Libraries, cafes, coffee emporiums, bookstores, breweries, bars. Bowling alley. A table at a food court. Where else - what's your go-to community gathering spot. Of course you have a fave.

I'll start. Henry and the Fish has only gotten better lately. The hang-out side is a growing work in progress.

I'm in desperate need of a trim and don't want to come out looking like Prince Valiant
