Depends where in either state.

I’d do Oregon but stay outside of Multnomah County.

NM is beautiful though.

Bend is great but growing.

Eugene is ok. Corvallis is beautiful but prices are surging. Salem is a shithole.

Consider areas around Hood like Sandy if you’re interested in access to Portland.

into outdoors but not into cowboy / rancher culture. more into weekend backpacking trips. would like diversity of any kind (could be black, brown, asian). i'm OK with the climate of oregon (whether eastern or western) and north-central NM. can't do too hot like las cruces.

bend sounds like my ideal city tbh but not sure that job is really in the picture. if it is, though, i want to be prepared to make an informed choice.

Abq is a little dystopian, pretty poor, good ethnic food (surprisingly large Vietnamese population), very military. I know a fairly lib, well credentialed couple who live there and I think they’re climbing the ladder in local politics.

I wouldn’t live there. I like Santa Fe and northern New Mexico but there are no jobs there and there’s a lot of Urban wealth that drives up prices

Do you have jobs lined up in any of these places? Unless you are in healthcare or can 100% WFH it's going to be very difficult to find high paying white collar jobs in these areas since their economies are mostly tourism based (ABQ is an exception). Bend is probably closest to what you want in terms of lifestyle, but it's actually pretty expensive relative to other areas of Oregon due to all the wealthy Bay Area and Seattle transplants it's attracting plus the job market for professionals is terrible.
