Online, Sept. 12: “Sundance Sashays Away”
So, is it about the crime, or the infrastructure or…?
I am not surprised with that outcome and if things do not change quickly with our severe crime in Santa Fe we will start losing more tourism! This should be taken more seriously by our state representatives because it is hurting our communities and commerce! Stop saying that you are doing everything you can because that statement is getting old and is far from the truth.

Um, gee. Could it be that Santa Fe isn’t white enough for the film festival?? Has that crossed anyone’s mind?

I’m from Utah and have been to Sundance. It’s a very cultural event. People from all over go. It’s not because of color It’s because Santa fe is full of crime and distress.

The article states that 90 cities applied and there are three finalists. It’s not as if there was much of a chance in the first place. It might be that the city is perfectly fine for hosting it but many factors went into their choice of finalists. It’s not like Cincinnati is low-crime.

Thank God. We don’t have the infrastructure to host.

This is probably more about infrastructure. Crime levels were not stated as part of the criteria in their decision-making process. And out-of-control crime is a national epidemic, it’s not just here in Santa Fe.

I tend to think it may be due to our crime rates and lack of city organization. It’s difficult to get anything done with this administration. Mired in administrative BS. Plus we may not have the necessary hotel/restaurant infrastructure, and is it possible to get an Uber here?
