Albuquerque’s record-breaking shelter outreach

This winter, Albuquerque Community Safety teams are seeing more people than ever needing a warm place to stay overnight. In just one December, they helped over 1,200 people—including families with kids—find shelter from the cold, nearly doubling last year’s numbers. What’s different? ACS is now going out to known hot spots, not just waiting for calls, making it easier for folks without phones to get help. It’s not just about a ride—it’s about connecting people to the right support, whether that’s long-term shelter or other services. How do you think our city can keep building on this momentum? #Safety #Albuquerque #CommunitySafety

Why Albuquerque needs real investigative journalism

Albuquerque’s only major daily, the family-owned Journal, is now raising funds to boost investigative reporting—a move that could be a game-changer for New Mexico. With scandals like the Minnesota daycare fraud making headlines, it’s clear we need local media digging into issues that actually impact our lives. From the effectiveness of “free” childcare and education programs to why our economic and social stats lag behind neighboring states, there’s no shortage of tough questions that deserve answers. What stories do you think the Journal should tackle first? Let’s talk about what real accountability looks like for New Mexico. #Safety #Albuquerque #InvestigativeJournalism

Golf balls keep smashing homes in Albuquerque

Living near the Albuquerque Country Club has turned into a real headache for some neighbors. Michelle Beuttel says her house and car have been hit by stray golf balls so many times, she’s lost count—and the repair bills just keep piling up. One ball even shattered her front window! She’s tried reaching out to the club for help or at least some protective netting, but hasn’t heard back. Other neighbors are just as frustrated, feeling like there’s no accountability for the damage. What would you do if this was your home? Should the club step up? #Sports #Golf #Albuquerque
