Oh no, it’s a real place alright. All the rich people live on the east side of the river and in the north and look down on the poorer people on the west side and in the south.
Crime is an issue, there were lots of hit and runs when I lived there, there was even a season where people had to learn to lock their car doors at stoplights cause you could just get carjacked in that amount of time.
Wild place, don’t recommend.
I would've thought all the rich people finished moving to Santa Fe by now. I haven't lived there in 25 years now, but that seemed to be the way things were going at the time.
I was in highschool at the time so maybe 13ish years ago now? It was…still pretty bad even then. Always had to hold your breath driving through Rio Rancho because of how heavy they kept their police presence there.

Wait, Albuquerque's a real place? I thought they made it up for Breaking Bad and that one Weird Al song

Honestly can't believe you didn't mention Bugs Bunny, it's the only thing I think of when I hear Albuquerque.
Lmao that can't be a real place.
"Hey guys I need a name for a fictional city, can we talk this over at my barbecue this week end?"
"Barbecue... hmmm almost sounds like a fictional city"
Fuck man, make it at least just look like a simulation, that shit looks too real I nearly shat myself.
Where's the city? All I see is parking lots with a few buildings inbetween. And a big beautiful bird, obviously.
Too green, downtown abq doesn't have nearly that much greenery. Obviously fake simulation.
Weird post to see when in the middle of rewatching ‘Neon Genesis Evangelion’.
I knew I should've taken that exit.
