The verdict
Mixed · 55Mostly travel-vlog chatter about Route 66 and scenery with little firsthand talk of living there long-term, so the verdict leans on fond nostalgia and a few positive visit notes.
- scenery and mountain views
- Route 66 history
- Breaking Bad sites
- tram ride
- orchestra and arts scene
- balloon festival
- very little content on daily life
- thin evidence on cost or work setup
- Commenters enjoy Albuquerque as a scenic, historic stop on a road trip
- Locals who grew up there still feel fond nostalgia for home
- Sparse content means little real insight into long-term living
