r/ElPaso

It’s so sad to see a business closing. Does anybody know the reason?

Why has the air been smelling bad lately when stepping outside sometimes when I open the window of my house I can smell it. This morning definitely was more noticeable.

Each camera is one dot. Zoomed out, dots are small and translucent, so where cameras cluster the overlaps stack into brighter, more solid areas — density you can read at a glance. Zoom in and dots grow into individual cameras.

got to el paso started using hinge for 2 hours and i met two people that i actually really like talking to just had to share bc i kept seeing people debate it on here😭😭 i never posted on this before but i deleted all my socials so this is what im using to doom scroll so i figured why not vent but yeah 26female and it’s actually so nice to have moved here and get to talk to people that i find funny because its such a culture shock here and yeah basically don’t give up guys hopefully i can keep making new friends. 🥺😭

Rent prices are sky high everywhere and in El Paso you can barely find a home for rent under $1300. At that rate, are the benefits of renting a home still worth it or are you better off owning a home? I know they say you're better off buying a house instead of throwing away money on rent but with property taxes as high as they are in El Paso and prices of houses much higher, is the best option still to buy a house or is renting the better deal? Yes I know the rent is going to someone else instead of buying your home, but does the flexibility of being able to eventually move to another part of town or a city when your lease is up still matter? My lease is running up in a few months and I'm wondering if it's just time to buy a house.

I just saw a video on TikTok from ,@thatvatojaime explaining that Lauren Zimmerman will be the new Community Engagement Manager for Meta here in El Paso. How do we feel about that 🤔 ?

Hello everyone,

I do not know if this is due to the recent upgrade they had or what, but their costumer service is a mess and is frustrating as hell.😭

I recently moved to a different city but decided to stick with GECU as they had not given me any issues or fees I had to pay. I told them in advance I would be moving to try to avoid any of the bs that happened.

I was shopping at a target for move in stuff when my card got declined twice. Which I found weird because I had the funds for the purchase and had already bought stuff in this new city. I get on the phone with them, and tell me why I get transferred 7 different times in the span of one and a half hours. Nobody could resolve a simple ass issue of a hold in my account due to apparently a “fraudulent vendor” aka target. After just being sent back and forth between different agents, none of them could do anything apparently. I was told I would receive a call in the next 2-3 business days and then they just hung up.

Has anyone had issues like this recently? Are they like this or is this just not my lucky day? Hadn’t had any issues like this with a bank until now.

I imagine the TCEQ will make them pay fines and do an environmental impact project, but that won’t do much to help the people who had to breathe that poison for hours.

Well this is going to be my little venting paragraph, but I went to an interview today and I didn't get the job, all because I didnt know color theory enough (i knew color theory)and because I lived in horizon city (it was a 40 minute drive to the frame shop). They told that I would be better off working at a hobby lobby since its in the east side. Im starting to feel like el paso doesnt have enough creative jobs and how do I even recover from that? I know people would say "welcome to the real world" or "move on" , but as a person that is sensitive has anyone went through this? Or am I not taking art in General seriously.

They see both as invasions. Do you seriously dont think MAGA has a problem with an American city speaking more spanosh than english like El Paso does?

Hello guys, anyone here have plans to go hike/summit Guadalupe Peak this Oct/Nov? Can i join you guys, ive been wanting to go there but im scared to do it alone. Can join any group 🙏

Anywhere in El Paso is okay. Anyone that you all recommend? I’m preferably looking for a Dr. that is thorough with everything and is nice to you. I had pretty bad experience with my previous PCP and am looking for y’alls recommendations. Thank you!

Maybe I am biased because I can’t imagine being able to own a home. But to me it’s a no brainer to support services, protect public jobs, and have a rainy day fund in exchange for wealthier residents paying $11 extra a month on average.

Of course not everyone who owns a home is financially comfortable or even stable. But this still seems like the much better of two bad options. What’s your perspective?

Good morning all,

I live on the far east side in the area around where Zaragoza and Montana meet up, just down John Hayes from Pebble Hills High School.

I bought my home in 2015. It was a new build by D.R. Horton. From what I've heard, they built a few of the neighborhoods in the area, including my own, and then dipped out of town.

Since then, starting 2-3 years ago, I've begun getting water leaks in the home. Currently dealing with my 3rd AND 4th leaks, a mere 5 weeks apart. Each one has been repaired by Roto Rooter since they always seem to only happen on holidays or weekends, and each one of them has been communicated to me as being caused by lazy work / construction, where pipes should've had 90° fittings put in for necessary turns and whatnot, but instead were simply bent to save time and money. Over time, the pressurization of the pipes wears on these weakened areas and eventually they leak.

Last year, or perhaps the year before, my wife asked in one of the neighborhood groups if anyone else had a DRH home and if they'd been experiencing similar issues, and a fair number of people chimed in to confirm both.

One individual also said that apparently DRH recently lost a class action suit somewhere else in Texas for the same or similar things (construction issues). Might've been Dallas or Austin. But apparently due to El Paso being a different location, that lawsuit doesn't entitle anyone else for automatic payouts, although the case judgement can apparently be used as supporting evidence.

Anyway, I'm looking for recommendations on attorneys / law firms to talk to about options, if going after them is worth it, stuff like that.

I'm currently collecting all my documentation from the repairs from each instance, the water mitigation records, all the stuff from our insurance claims, the photos, etc.

Thanks in advance for any help y'all can provide.
