We will meet at 10 am in the parking lot and hike the trail together to see the beautiful geological features of the area while walking on wooded hiking trails. Right off US 319 south of Tallahassee, the Leon Sinks Geological Area contains 5 miles of trails leading to a series of sinkholes big and small. The land in this area is underlain by a layer of limestone, eroded and dissolved by rainwater and groundwater to form caverns, holes, and tunnels. This type of terrain is called "karst" and results in many geological features such as wet sinkholes, depressions, natural bridges and a disappearing stream. The hikers can either hike the 3.6-mile Sinkhole Trail to view the numerous sinkholes and geological features, or the 2.8-mile Gum Swamp Trail around a cypress and gum swamp. We recommend wear hiking shoes and bring a water bottle, and consider bug spray or long pants/sleeves. 10am

2023.03.30 18:52 Fit-Election8949 First Pregnancy and it’s TWINS(SOS)
I feel like I have so many questions maybe concerns no idea I’m just lost in my sea of emotion but back story: ( I know it’s long might not seem relevant but it pays to know a little of our stories if you don’t want to read that I have a list of questions at the bottom)
I am 22 years old, my partner is 24 we met not too long ago and thing’s obviously moved a bit fast when considering we are already having not one but 2 children together now. I am currently 12 weeks 5 days along and our babies should be arriving in September 2023. Before this we were both living 2 very different yet similar lives if that makes any sense, looking back we always wondered how the heck our lives ever crossed because we are on completely different paths. He is a city guy, loves his community (we are both from tribal communities), sports fanatic, gym rat, loved being out with the boys on the weekend, truly just living life to the fullest. I on the other hand have always been the go to work, go home, go the the gym and repeat on the daily. I spend a lot of my time in my cultural ways 365 days a year. I fell in love with the gym became my own kind of gym rat where my schedule became work running on my lunch break running after work attending my traditional canoe training running again and hitting the gym until 12am going home and sleeping and repeating this over and over. Before my pregnancy I also paid for myself to get my dream plastic surgery a BBL (Brazilian butt lift, if you don’t know long story short it’s a fat transfer from your desired location to your butt) I have always been super self conscious of my body and this was the one thing I wanted to do for myself as I saved the money and truly transformed myself into my dream body. Here’s where I need a little bit of advice
Questions
- Am I the only person who is absolutely heartbroken at times, almost as if I am mourning the body I worked so hard for, for years? And does this make me a terrible person? I promise there are nights where I no longer feel beautiful and cry like there’s no tomorrow because of the changes happening to my body.
- My partner is always sharing these beautiful women on his social media, (celebrities (music artist, gym babes) to be exact) but this truly makes me feel worse about my body they have these gorgeous bodies that I truly think I nearly idolized before my pregnancy am I emotional, over reacting, or is it completely normal to be upset and when I say upset I don’t mean mad I mean hurt by it because I know I will never look anything like that and my body now is going through so many changes and it’s hard for me to see the beauty in it.
- I have been experiencing the worst “morning sickness” from almost all hours of the day nothing is helping and I am miserable I vomit all day long, I feel like I have no energy, it’s like having the flu headaches body aches hot flashes etc. anyone have any ideas on what might help ?
- Is guilt normal? I feel guilty all the time for feeling like I complain all the time. Everyone tells me I should be enjoying this and embracing this journey and I am honestly not and it makes me feel like I am a bad person for that.
- Anything a new young mother should know especially when bringing twins into this world ANYTHING at all I am feeling a bit overwhelmed today and just need advice.

2023.03.30 18:25 SavannahRama Bill Bryson on Savannah
From
"The Lost Continent: Travels in Small-Town America" (1989), written during his travels around the US in 1987 & 1988
I headed east for Savannah, down Interstate 16. It was a 173-mile drive of unspeakable tedium across the red-clay plain of Georgia. It took me five hot and unrewarding hours to reach Savannah. While you, lucky reader, have only to flit your eyes to the next paragraph.
I stood agog in Lafayette Square in Savannah, amid brick paths, trickling fountains and dark trees hung with Spanish moss. Before me rose up a cathedral of exquisite linen-fresh whiteness with twin Gothic spires, and around it stood 200-year-old houses of weathered brick, with hurricane shutters that clearly were still used. I did not know that such perfection existed in America. There are twenty such squares in Savannah, cool and quiet beneath a canopy of trees, and long straight side streets equally dark and serene. It is only when you stumble out of this urban rain forest, out into the open streets of the modern city, exposed to the glare of the boiling sun, that you realize just how sweltering the South can be. This was October, a time of flannel shirts and hot toddies in Iowa, but here summer was unrelenting. It was only eight in the morning and already businessmen were loosening their ties and mopping their foreheads. What must it be like in August? Every store and restaurant is air-conditioned. You step inside and the sweat is freeze-dried on your arms. Step back outside and the air meets you as something hot and unpleasant, like a dog’s breath. It is only in Savannah’s squares that the climate achieves a kind of pleasing equilibrium.
Savannah is a seductive city and I found myself wandering almost involuntarily for hours. The city has more than 1,000 historic buildings, many of them still lived in as houses. This was, New York apart, the first American city I had ever been in where people actually lived downtown. What a difference it makes, how much more vibrant and alive it all seems, to see children playing ball in the street or skipping rope on the front stoops. I wandered along the cobbled sidewalk of Oglethorpe Avenue to the Colonial Park Cemetery, full of moldering monuments and densely packed with the gravestones of people famous to the state’s history—Archibald Bulloch, the first president of Georgia, James Habersham, ‘a leading merchant,’ and Button Gwinnett, who is famous in America for being one of the signatories of the Declaration of Independence and for having the silliest first name in Colonial history. The people of Savannah, in a careless moment, appear to have lost old Button. The historical marker said that he might be buried where I was standing now or then again he might be over in the corner or possibly somewhere else altogether. You could walk around all day and never know when you were on the Button, so to speak.
The business district in Savannah was frozen in a perpetual 1959—the Woolworth store didn’t appear to have changed its stock since about then. There was a handsome old movie house, Weis’s, but it was shut. Downtown movie houses are pretty much a thing of the past in America, alas, alas. You are always reading how buoyant the movie industry is in America, but all the theaters now are at shopping malls in the suburbs. You go to the movies there and you get a choice of a dozen pictures, but each theater is about the size of a large fridge-freezer and only marginally more comfortable. There are no balconies. Can you imagine that? Can you imagine movie theaters without balconies? To me going to the movies means sitting in the front row of the balcony with your feet up, dropping empty candy boxes onto the people below (or, during the more boring love scenes, dribbling Coke) and throwing Nibs at the screen. Nibs were a licorice-flavored candy, thought to be made from rubber left over from the Korean War, which had a strange popularity in the 1950s. They were practically inedible, but if you sucked on one of them for a minute and then threw it at the screen, it would stick with an interesting pock sound. It was a tradition on Saturdays for everybody to take the bus downtown to the Orpheum, buy a box of Nibs and spend the afternoon bombarding the screen.
You had to be careful when you did this because the theater manager employed vicious usherettes, dropouts from Tech High School whose one regret in life was that they hadn’t been born into Hitler’s Germany, who patrolled the aisles with highpowered flashlights looking for children who were misbehaving. Two or three times during the film their darting lights would fix on some hapless youngster, half out of his seat, poised in throwing position with a moistened Nib in his hand, and they would rush to subdue him. He would be carried off squealing. This never happened to my friends or me, thank God, but we always assumed that the victims were taken away and tortured with electrical instruments before being turned over to the police for a long period of mental readjustment in a reform school. Those were the days! You cannot tell me that some suburban multiplex with shoebox theaters and screens the size of bath towels can offer anything like the enchantment and community spirit of a cavernous downtown movie house. Nobody seems to have noticed it yet, but ours could well be the last generation for which movie-going has anything like a sense of magic.
On this sobering thought I strolled down to Water Street, on the Savannah River, where there was a new riverside walk. The river itself was dark and smelly and on the South Carolina side opposite there was nothing to look at but down-at-heel warehouses and, further downriver, factories dispensing billows of smoke. But the old cotton warehouses overlooking the river on the Savannah side were splendid. They had been restored without being over-gentrified. They contained boutiques and oyster bars on the ground floor, but the upper floors were left a tad shabby, giving them that requisite raffish air I had been looking for since Hannibal. Some of the shops were just a bit chichi, I must admit. One of them was called The Cutest Little Shop in Town, which made me want to have the quickest little dry heave in the county. A sign on the door said:
ABSOTIVELY, POSILUTELY NO FOOD OR DRINK IN SHOP
I sank to my knees and thanked God that I had never had to meet the proprietor. The shop was closed so I wasn’t able to go inside and see what was so cute about it.
Towards the end of the street stood a big new Hyatt Regency hotel, an instantly depressing sight. Massive and made of shaped concrete, it was from the Fuck You school of architecture so favored by the big American hotel chains. There was nothing about it in scale or appearance even remotely sympathetic to the old buildings around it. It just said, ‘Fuck you, Savannah.’ The city is particularly ill favored in this respect. Every few blocks you come up against some discordant slab—the De Soto Hilton, the Ramada Inn, the Best Western Riverfront, all about as appealing as spittle on a johnnycake, as they say in Georgia. Actually, they don’t say anything of the sort in Georgia. I just made it up. But it has a nice Southern ring to it, don’t you think? I was just about at the point where I was starting to get personally offended by the hotels, and in serious danger of becoming tiresome here, when my attention was distracted by a workman in front of the city courthouse, a large building with a gold dome. He had a leaf blower, a noisy contraption with miles of flex snaking back into the building behind him. I had never seen such a thing before. It looked something like a vacuum cleaner—actually, it looked like one of the Martians in It Came from Outer Space—and it was very noisy. The idea, I gathered, was that you would blow all the leaves into a pile and then gather them up by hand. But every time the man assembled a little pile of leaves, a breeze would come along and unassemble it. Sometimes he would chase one leaf half a block or more with his blower, whereupon all the leaves back at base would seize the opportunity to scuttle off in all directions. It was clearly an appliance that must have looked nifty in the catalog but would never work in the real world, and I vaguely wondered, as I strolled past, whether the people at the Zwingle Company were behind it in some way.
I left Savannah on the Herman Talmadge Memorial Bridge, a tall, iron-strutted structure that rises up and up and up and flings you, wide-eyed and quietly gasping, over the Savannah River and into South Carolina. I drove along what appeared on my map to be a meandering coast road, but was in fact a meandering inland road. This stretch of coast is littered with islands, inlets, bays and beaches of rolling sand dunes, but I saw precious little of it. The road was narrow and slow. It must be hell in the summer when millions of vacationers from all over the eastern seaboard head for the beaches and resorts—Tybee Island, Hilton Head, Laurel Bay, Fripp Island.

2023.03.30 18:19 Denizen_38 Creating historical frequency distribution of text strings based on large dataset
I'm coming back to Excel for a specific project but I'm a bit rusty as I've not used it in any kind advanced capacity in a while. I'm happy enough with using things like INDEX-MATCH and have enough knowledge of VBA to adapt other solutions posted online to my purposes, provided they're simple enough.
So what I need is more of a general sense of what steps to take rather than a detailed explanation of how to build each formula.
In Sheet 1, let's call it "Unsorted Data", I have a very large array of cells containing text strings – some just one word, others made of several words. These are sorted into rows based on the publication date of the article they were taken from. So, for instance, in Row 1, there might be around 100 items all from January 2020. These date rows are not unique. So I have maybe 40-50 rows all labelled January 2020, another 40-50 all labelled February 2020, etc. Each row represents one article, and there are multiple articles (i.e. rows) for any given month.
'Unsorted Data' sheet: the entire dataset is made up of around 2500 rows and 100 columns. I will probably be sorting this type of dataset fairly frequently, so need a system that doesn't rely on manually cutting and pasting What I want to create with this is a historical frequency distribution of individual words or strings, sorted by month. I've already set up the sheet called "Sorted Data", where each column represents a month and a "UNIQUE" list of all the words / phrases across the entire dataset in the left-most column.
What I now need to do is to populate this sheet with the number of instances that each word / phrase comes up for the specified month. I'm happy to use a mix of standard formulae and VBA to achieve this but I don't really know what the most efficient way forward is.
'Sorted Data' sheet: this will populated with the frequency of occurrence for each keyword (rows) during the specified time period (columns) My first thought was that I'd need to create a monthly, non-unique arrangement of the data. In other words merge rows of the same month and transpose so that they become columns. From there, something simple like COUNTIF should get me the number of instances each string is used.
I suspect I will need VBA for the first step (too many rows and columns to do anything manually here, and hoping replicate this for other data sets that might have a different size in the future). Something like "For Each" row, copy > paste + transpose, stacking data in one column if until the month changes.
I have little-to-no familiarity with Pivot Tables, so it's possible they might offer a solution I'm completely unaware of... If VBA is needed, that's also fine. I just need to roughly clarify the sequence of steps that's needed. Or maybe there's some kind of formula-based solution that I'm not familiar with.
Any thoughts or suggestions for where to start?

2023.03.30 18:03 ThatDoodch Setlist: March 30, 2023 - Old Town Pub, Steamboat Springs, CO
The Mile High City saw the Dogs come out on stage last night one by one to join DJ BKellZ (opener) for the beginning of their set for a few tunes/jams. A buttery smooth transition from Boogie on->Dancing in the Streets marked a first set highlight. Little Things picked up the pace and set the tone to start the second set and naturally, EDM-theme night ended with a high-energy Bubble > EDM Song. From all reports, the room was packed. Denver loves the Dogs!
Back at it tonight in Steamboat.

2023.03.30 18:00 NothingToDoButSmile Moving to Rotterdam (or nearby) from Berlin
TLDR; Does it make sense to move to Rotterdam from Berlin to have a better life & save money?
Hey, let me go straight to the context:
Me and my partner are both experienced Software Engineers, our total gross annual salary is ~160K EUR.
Our rental agreement will be terminated utmost beginning of the next year and we are already searching for an apartment. Our criteria is 75-110 sqm and not so sh*tty looking apartment. But according to current Berlin market you can only rent if you are willing to pay 1700+ EUR or swapping your very low cost rental agreement from 2005 with someone else. And I must say, most of these apartments are not appealing and for a decent looking apartment you should be willing to pay 2000+ EUR (yes, ~75 sqm) in Berlin. Knowing that some people who rented similar apartments long time ago pay only ~600 EUmonth hurts and you are definitely paying through the nose.
Weather-wise I think Germany and Netherlands is not very different. Seasons other than summer are very depressing in Berlin and I don't have high hopes for Rotterdam. Berlin is very dark, gray and cloudy aside from the summer but I don't know about Rotterdam.
Tax rates are higher in Germany and 30% ruling makes Netherlands attractive. Our net income would increase around ~2400 EUR monthly, if those gross-net calculation websites display correct data. Is it true that you have to pay your health insurance yourself and it's not included in your payslip? How much does it cost (approximately)?
I had the impression that Netherlands (specifically Amsterdam, but some say Rotterdam as well) has tight housing market just like Berlin but I searched for rental apartments in Rotterdam with the basic criteria I had as Berlin and can find many, unfurnished, well-groomed central located apartments under ~1400 (in Berlin those apartments cost 2000+).
Purchasing an apartment is also seems saner than Berlin. In Berlin/Hamburg you should be willing to pay 700K+ to purchase a good apartment in a good area but in
funda.nl -which looks like a popular real-estate website in Netherlands- I can find many apartments which are central, with A/B/C energy certificate, doesn't need any renovation and cost lower than 400K.
Regarding food scene I think Berlin beats any Netherlands city, but I can live with that.
We are not into night life, just want a decent life; have multiple options for restaurants/cafes/supermarkets etc... around, not scammed by the greedy homeowners on a city known as "dirty" and "cheap" and save money. We don't have any kids but considering. I read Netherlands is better for families with children. I don't know about education comparison.
Living costs other than rent are also on rise in Berlin and according to
comparison of these two cities in Numbeo, Rotterdam has lower costs generally.
I'm coming from a southern country and I occasionally miss sea -generally water-. It would be amazing to live close to water and somehow central. That's why I considered Rotterdam or The Hague.
This has became a long post but I appreciate but if you share constructive feedback regarding my motivation or if there is anything I might be missing.

2023.03.30 17:41 External-Cockroach-4 [Looking for advice/Brainstorming] DnD Web-App. Where should I start and what should I use?
Hello guys,
as the title says, I want to start making a DnD app. I know there is lot of those on the internet and most of them already can do most of the things I want mine to be able to provide to GMs and players, but I want to make my own because of the following reasons:
- my country has its own version of DnD, which is more complicated, math-based and more realistic in ways of being able to do something (physics, hunger, energy levels)
- all of the apps that are out there are subsciption based and thanks to currency difference are too expensive for younger (student) GMs, that want to start they're own campaigns
- I had passion for DnD since I was really young and programming is my hobby, which never really went anywhere, except small projects
- I have been thinking about this for a long while and decided to take it on as a long-term project when I have the time (and BOOM - I have found the time!)
I have slight experience with front-end, since I have been working as a developer for a few years, so I know things like Node.js, Vue.js and I am quite proficient in HTML, CSS and somewhat average in Javascript.
And finally - why am I writing here - is that I want a advice on what should I start with... what I should I use to make the app (I want to make it a website application)... what do I need to learn and where should I look?
What I was thinking that I want my app to have is:
- Possibility to create a database of characters (players and NPCs), where players could have their stats, abilities (including modifiers to stats), inventory and also chance to write their own diary of sorts (which can be connected to World Knowledge Base).
- World Knowledge Base, where GM can create articles for individual places, things and creatures (characters) and players would be able to comment on it.
- Map Creator, which could include maps of whole worlds, countries, provinces, villiages and cities, individual streets and houses and of course - Dungeons! With this I want for GMs to have ability to create all this in advance just to allow players to explore and reveal as they advance through the map.
- Calculator and some kind of Fight Manager, where GMs could keep track of enemy lives, iniciative and dice throws, if needed.
- (This one is related to numbers 1. and 2., but a bestiary with some basic info on monsters with the difference of them being made by players and this one would be a official monster and enviroment database containing the same info as in the official book).
And since I have never really made any web-app just on my own, I am asking for advice: - What language should I use for front-end and back-end? What frameworks? As I mentioned, I have experience with Vue.js and also some understanding of React and Angular, but dunno If they will be good match for this. As for back-end, I have basic understanding of C, C++ and some of Python, which I am thinking about as a possibility.
- What kind of database should I use? Only worked with some before (Oracle), but never had to make one.
\In these two questions above, I am thinking more about compatible combinations (A for front-end + B for back-end and C for the SQL database, If you will have some ideas).**
- With what should I start? I persume that I need a back-end so when I make front-end, I have something to connect it to. Or when I create database, I need something that will be able to fill it and access it other that terminal.
I want to make the whole thing from scratch, so any advice on enviroments to use (which do you think are comfy etc. are welcome).

- With what should I start? I persume that I need a back-end so when I make front-end, I have something to connect it to. Or when I create database, I need something that will be able to fill it and access it other that terminal.
I want to make the whole thing from scratch, so any advice on enviroments to use (which do you think are comfy etc. are welcome).

2023.03.30 17:35 External-Cockroach-4 [Looking for advice/Brainstorming] DnD Web-App. Where should I start and what should I use?
Hello guys,
as the title says, I want to start making a DnD app. I know there is lot of those on the internet and most of them already can do most of the things I want mine to be able to provide to GMs and players, but I want to make my own because of the following reasons:
- my country has its own version of DnD, which is more complicated, math-based and more realistic in ways of being able to do something (physics, hunger, energy levels)
- all of the apps that are out there are subsciption based and thanks to currency difference are too expensive for younger (student) GMs, that want to start they're own campaigns
- I had passion for DnD since I was really young and programming is my hobby, which never really went anywhere, except small projects
- I have been thinking about this for a long while and decided to take it on as a long-term project when I have the time (and BOOM - I have found the time!)
I have slight experience with front-end, since I have been working as a developer for a few years, so I know things like Node.js, Vue.js and I am quite proficient in HTML, CSS and somewhat average in Javascript.
And finally - why am I writing here - is that I want a advice on what should I start with... what I should I use to make the app (I want to make it a website application)... what do I need to learn and where should I look?
What I was thinking that I want my app to have is:
- Possibility to create a database of characters (players and NPCs), where players could have their stats, abilities (including modifiers to stats), inventory and also chance to write their own diary of sorts (which can be connected to World Knowledge Base).
- World Knowledge Base, where GM can create articles for individual places, things and creatures (characters) and players would be able to comment on it.
- Map Creator, which could include maps of whole worlds, countries, provinces, villiages and cities, individual streets and houses and of course - Dungeons! With this I want for GMs to have ability to create all this in advance just to allow players to explore and reveal as they advance through the map.
- Calculator and some kind of Fight Manager, where GMs could keep track of enemy lives, iniciative and dice throws, if needed.
- (This one is related to numbers 1. and 2., but a bestiary with some basic info on monsters with the difference of them being made by players and this one would be a official monster and enviroment database containing the same info as in the official book).
And since I have never really made any web-app just on my own, I am asking for advice: - What language should I use for front-end and back-end? What frameworks? As I mentioned, I have experience with Vue.js and also some understanding of React and Angular, but dunno If they will be good match for this. As for back-end, I have basic understanding of C, C++ and some of Python, which I am thinking about as a possibility.
- What kind of database should I use? Only worked with some before (Oracle), but never had to make one.
\In these two questions above, I am thinking more about compatible combinations (A for front-end + B for back-end and C for the SQL database, If you will have some ideas).**
- With what should I start? I persume that I need a back-end so when I make front-end, I have something to connect it to. Or when I create database, I need something that will be able to fill it and access it other that terminal.
I want to make the whole thing from scratch, so any advice on enviroments to use (which do you think are comfy etc. are welcome).

2023.03.30 17:35 Beneficial-Win9930 How are you supposed to socialize if you have a disdain for other people? I feel better off being a hermit.
Basically I’m 32 and I have autism. I feel so uninterested in people (even before lockdowns). Working from home I almost never go anywhere and I dislike my city passionately.
I have no real interests outside of buying my own house and my parents only care about me finding someone to marry. I don’t want that in my life and I have no idea what they expect me to do as I get older.
My family wants me to socialize but I’ve kind of gotten to the point where I just wanna stay home and not interact with others. Big social events take a lot of my energy out and I’m at a point where I don’t think people have much to offer to me.

2023.03.30 17:30 Extension_Syrup_1097 I regret breaking things off with a girl a few years ago
I'm currently a senior in college. I used to hang out with this girl a lot my freshman year, we met in the dorms the first week. I really liked her at first and she really liked me too, but then after only a semester of hooking up she started to act very relationshipy, and it was honestly weird to me so I ended things. She was always drunk calling me for a while after, which annoyed me a lot, but after a while it stopped and she got over it, I assume. She's a pretty girl so I also assume she has had no problem finding what she is looking for.
If I passed her on the street, she usually ignored me. But this year I've been seeing her out and about often lately and she's always super friendly. Nothing more, usually just a nice conversation or two and then she slips out of wherever we are with her friends unnoticed later in the night. She's always smiling and she really seems happy. She's done some really cool and impressive things the past few years, and has definitely gotten her life together a lot since freshman year. And she constantly has boys coming up to her, but she doesn't entertain them much more than a quick conversation and then back to her friends, and I know for a fact it's not because she has a boyfriend because mutual friends we have have told me she doesn't and they insist she would still be interested, but I'm not sure if they just are saying what they think I want to hear. To put it lightly, now that she's emotionally matured, she's my dream girl.
Maybe it's because we're both about to graduate but I can't help but wonder if I made a huge mistake when I was 18 and dumb and just looking to hook up with a bunch of girls, and her and I could've been happy together by now? How do I stop living in regret? It's eating me alive, and if energies really do attract then maybe that's the reason I am seeing her all of a sudden. I wonder if I should reach out and see what she's doing after college, we both are in the business school so it's possible we have similar jobs lined up, especially since our school is near a city many students end up in. I don't want to leave school thinking I could've done more or better, but I also don't want to mess with her peace, since she seemed to really despise me for so long. Any advice?

2023.03.30 17:20 SinAndFury Anyone else feel priced out of New Mexico?
Been living in NM for 12+ years. During COVID everything went to shit with the housing market obviously, my apartment was $575 a month for 6 years and is now $1600. Anything comparable is 3x what I was paying, I love New Mexico with all my heart and I will die in New Mexico but its hard not to feel left out, it had so much charm and uniqueness and now instead its turning into California-lite(I don't mean just politically but cost of living, gas prices, attitudes etc). I am sure that a lot of the people who moved here are good people and have a lot to offer but its hard to feel like a place I love so much is not financially sustainable to live in anymore, why are rentals in places like Lordsburg with no infrastructure or jobs, going for $1300 for a 1 bedroom? Who honestly wants to live in Lordsburg that bad? I personally like Lordsburg but I am just using it as an example as one of the many slow growing towns that don't seem to offer much incentive to live there and before covid seemed like they were dying.
I feel almost betrayed as stupid as it sounds because of how much I literally fell in love with the state and its quirky uniqueness and I am just a NM transplant from years and years ago, I can't imagine how the native New Mexicans on lower incomes than mine must feel being priced out of places their families and friends have lived for generations. I wonder if this will ever end or New Mexico has become Colorado in the desert now for good? What is your guys opinion on this? Anyone else have similar stories? I am trying to get home from New Orleans but its been 8 months and everything is so overpriced or affordable housing has so many applicants(one, two bed unit I called about in Las Cruces HAD 70 APPLICATIONS IN, 70!!!!). It feels like an uphill battle. I look at housing in other less desirable states like Iowa/North Dakota/Kansas and the rental market there except in big cities has came back down to earth, but why has New Mexico stayed so high? I feel defeated and frustrated and would like to hear other similar stories to feel better about my situation.
I get that demand is outpacing housing supply but what changed in the last 5 years where New Mexico when from being a fly over state to being a destination for people? Was it all the retirement articles in boomer magazines? Crime is higher, prices are higher, there is more garbage, drugs and homeless than ever. It seems like the actual state has gotten worse(My personal opinion) but yet the demand to live here has grown 1000x. Sorry for the whining and complaining its just been rough and seems no end in sight.
