well, I once was talking with a person at school and I asked them what they thought about the city and they said it’s really similar to both Albuquerque and 1990’s California, and it’s very hot. I still don’t know what they meant by that so I saw some pictures of Albuquerque and, yes, they were right. For context, I live in another country that has close ties to the United States, so maybe that’s why!!
Or maybe because both Texas and New Mexico used to be Mexican until the anglos ethnically replaced the natives and Hispanics that lived there at the time
