Albuquerque, city of straw bales.

Posted the same day as our own debbie-downer “Albuquerque: City of Blight”, Raine K’s photo essay/walking tour of Los Poblanos Open Space reveals that there’s a lot more human-scale Burque out there than some people think. So there, haters.

Speaking of which, Coco’s down on the Albuquerque Public Sprawl Bond. She makes some good points.

Paul Gessing hates on the Rail Runner, e.g. “[Rail Runner supporters] believe that the rest of us should be asked to dig into our pockets even deeper to fund their train.” Yeah, just like “the rest of us” are asked to fund “their” highways. Or “their” fire departments. Or “their” schools. Libertarians can be funny.

And on a non-hater note: UrbanABQ’s 2009 in review.

Ugh! Paul Gessing [ Tue Jan 26 2010 10:42 AM ]

I like how someone named the NM Libertarians the "We Got Ours" party. It's pretty fitting seeing that they seem to bitch about anything thats for the common good and things that help low-income families. I watched several news pieces on the railrunner (and read a couple more), every time the reporter asked Railrunner riders if they were willing to pay more to keep the train going, they all said they were down. So there you go Paul, your question has been answered. I'm just wondering when he starts campaigning against highways, libraries, and community centers because those damn things aren't making us any money either. Better get rid of em quick....
