Welcome! I grew up in Clayton, NM and I gotta say, there is not much in Deming! Welcome to BOB.

Actually, Deming is a whopping 13,000 now. I grew up in Lovington, which is probably about 9000 now - never recovered from the oil bust of the 70s. thanks guys

I'm jealous of those small numbers. I live in Fairfax County and I think we're up to about 1,200,000! Not quite the quieter suburb I grew up in. But don't worry you can still get a nice starter house for $400,000.

Before Deming, I lived in San Antonio,TX population 1.400.000 people and 5,000,000 cars -seemingly - at rush hour, all trying to get on Loop 410. I don't miss that. In San Antonio, a     $ 400,000 house would cost you $12,000 / year in property taxes. I don't miss that either. Al
