15 Reasons Why You Should Never, Ever Move To New Mexico
Obviously, we adore New Mexico but, whenever we produce an article like “18 Reasons Living In New Mexico Is The Best – And Everyone Should Move Here,” readers beg us not to encourage others to relocate. Most New Mexicans are happy to welcome visitors to the Land of Enchantment, but that attitude shifts fast when people talk about permanently moving.
Look, we get why you want to keep New Mexico a secret. So we thought we’d help you to repel would-be transplants. Here are 15 reasons why people should stay far far away from New Mexico:

You definitely need a passport and a visa to visit.

Guess you'll have to live on margaritas instead!

We couldn't possibly grow roughly a quarter of the country's pecan crop or the best chiles in the world right here in New Mexico.

Yep, definitely just the one season.

You can try to moisturize but there's only so much you can do against dry heat.

...but also because their inflight movies suck.

New Mexico is strictly a no-fun zone.

No lakes or water sports or other outdoor activities to enjoy in the Land of Enchantment.

Vicious, right?

In spring you get bonus points for dodging them as you drive.



It's a social desert. Not another person in sight.

(Okay, this one’s kind of true.)

No jobs in government, tourism, energy or science. Not a one.

So if you’ve already visited them, there’s nothing else to see here folks. Move along.
In case we’ve repelled any locals, here’s a reminder of what you’d miss if you moved away.
