Why did you pick these three towns? Just so you know, there aren't
really any "cities" in the whole state according to some definitions.

What do you consider "better?" Warmer? Bigger? Industries?

That might help you in getting better answers.

Well one thing i won't do is cut down any city/town in New Mexico as we get that all the time from Trolls that lurk here but i will say i met the friendliest down to earth people when i visited clovis several years ago. I just hope all 3 of them prosper which would be good for New Mexico.

I have never lived in these 3 cities but i have visited them and also between reading posts about them on C-D for about a year now and also reading their newspapers online (50 states.com) here's my take.

All 3 are growing and there are new housing subdivisions in all 3 cities. Farmington is Booming do to high Natural Gas prices which has the refineries and Natural Gas wells up their expanding and hiring.

Clovis with the Cannon AFB expansion and also dairies and milk/cheese factories are expanding there and now the ethanol plants are coming in.

Roswell with its HUGE industrial park (Roswell industrial air park) is booming with many manufacturing companies there including Millineum Bus manufactuer which just reopened and is building city buses for large metro cities across the USA.
