I hear ya'... They might prefer having beach & water nearby... and palm trees... and balmy days & nights.. well, who wouldn't, I guess.. but you're worth the visit.

I certainly don't like St. Louis but I go to see my family... sometimes.. 'cause they wont' come here. Ansd so I'm always the one paying the airfare :< I think New Mexico scares alot of people... wild & wooly? wild west? Probably it's 'cause I live in an old, little adobe and they would have to go without their air conditioning, wall sized TVs and leather couches... Which is what I have to put up with it when I go there.. hmmm, maybe I just won't anytime soon!
