Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller on Saturday said he wants to combat the city鈥檚 scarcity mindset with an 鈥渁bundance agenda" by making the local government work more for the people it is serving.

During the hourlong annual State of the City address 鈥� held Saturday at the Route 66 Visitor Center just southwest of Albuquerque 鈥� Keller said the government is adding to people鈥檚 frustrations during an already turbulent time by maintaining a mindset that adds, rather than removes, barriers in day-to-day life.

鈥�Government is actually reducing your freedom,鈥� he said. 鈥淚t's reducing your set of decisions and it's not helping in any way. It's adding to the friction in everyday life and it's reinforcing a scarcity mindset.鈥�

Prior to the address, an estimated audience of 350 people 鈥� including residents, public safety officials and a state senator 鈥� sat as Mariachi Herencia serenaded the crowd that could see the entirety of the city while atop Nine Mile Hill.

The program opened with prerecorded videos from City Councilors Rene虂e Grout, Klarissa Pe帽a, Nichole Rogers and Stephanie Telles highlighting new projects in their respective districts, while urging people to visit their communities.

Before Keller was able to begin his speech, a woman began shouting in protest against the Albuquerque Police Department, calling police 鈥渕urderers鈥� as she was escorted away. A man shouted similar sentiments moments later, stating that people were getting arrested for sitting on sidewalks.

He was swiftly taken away as Keller spoke over the protesters. In total, four people were removed from the property.

鈥淲e鈥檙e a city at the crossroads,鈥� Keller stated while giving a detailed historical background on New Mexico. 鈥�I would argue that our history is actually core to understanding who we are today and where we have to go.鈥�

Keller said New Mexico is a demonstration of resilience that was built on the foundation of a scarcity mindset, hoarding resources with the idea that the state might need them again.

He said people in the state say "no" to infrastructure projects, noting plans like the Rail Trail and the placement of the New Mexico 近距离内射合集 stadium have been under constant scrutiny. 

鈥淲hen times are good, we have trouble keeping up because we cling to that scarcity mindset,鈥� Keller said. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 what holds us back.鈥�

But now, the mayor wants to focus on sharing every asset the city has to offer. With that in mind, he said the city will begin to take a new approach to how the resources will be shared.

Keller detailed initiatives like making it easier to receive a commercial or residential building permit, focusing on local labor agreements and turning city land into affordable housing at the top of his list.

Elected to a third term in November, Keller said he will focus on three key points for the remainder of his term: Public safety, making the local government provide help to those in need, and "building our civic muscle to be able to actually get things done.鈥�

鈥淔olks just want the city of Albuquerque government to help them a little bit, to help ease the pain of everyday life, even if it's in a small way,鈥� he said. 

Keller announced a that will allow families to rent city-owned spaces, including community centers and theaters, for recreational use such as quincea帽eras and anniversaries.

Rental fees will be based on the scale and purpose of the activity for the 20 locations currently available for booking. Certified childcare groups will be able to use the facilities for free, he added.

The mayor took a moment to boast about existing programs, such as Albuquerque Community Safety, the Gateway Center and the School-Based Violence Intervention Program 鈥� which he claimed was the most successful program in the state.

Keller said mayors from across the nation have visited Albuquerque to recreate ACS, saying New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani centered his campaign around copying the department. Keller mentioned how Democratic gubernatorial candidate Deb Haaland said she would recreate ACS statewide, if elected.

Near the end of his address, Keller challenged the federal government and called out the Drug Enforcement Administration for allowing massive quantities of fentanyl onto New Mexico streets in pursuit of larger prosecutions.

As Keller ended his address, he said the city and state have an 鈥渙pportunity that we haven鈥檛 seen in generations," noting that the University of New Mexico recently welcomed a new president just months before the state will elect a new governor.

鈥�We have to push back against the scarcity mindset that is still with us from that history that was the other side of resilience because now we actually can demonstrate abundance,鈥� he said.
