ABQ home builder looks for opportunities outside New Mexico: RGF has the interview
The Albuquerque Journal recently published an interview with local home builder Mackenzie Bishop. The gist of the story is that despite his deep ties to New Mexico and passionate advocacy for our State, Bishop is now considering his options in other states due to the “state’s lack of population growth, heavy taxation, rising home prices and affordability challenges, and bureaucratic hurdles working with local governments.”
He’s not alone. Productive New Mexicans are looking for options in other states and they happen to live in a fast growing part of our country albeit in one of the slowest growing and worst performing states. New Mexico’s problems are easily solvable, but the people and politicians have to actually WANT to solve them.
Before he talked to the Journal he sat down with the Rio Grande Foundation. Check out this important conversation with Mackenzie Bishop!
