JDN, I spent about 6 months in Santa Fe in 88, and as you say, it is quite artsy, and because of tourism, has become very expensive. Taos is even worse with the artists practically owning the place.

The emerging internet-based world that allow many to work thousands of miles away from the old 20th century rat races. And #2 is still in its very early stages...
