Nice move! I’m in Peoria, north of the 101 next to sun city west.

first day I moved to AZ a guy pulled up next to me at a stop light on a street legal Yamaha raptor quad with a revolver on his hip, he looked like Sam Elliott in The Big Lebowski.
Yep, that's what I love about Arizona. It's life the way it should be.

I would probably be stunned on both accounts LOL. I can't wait to carry some weapons on the hip =D

Congrats brother! I just finished moving into my house in Utah. I know the feeling very well, it still is a scary experience.

On a side note I go back to pick up the Viper in spring, then the real fun begins.

Yeah I was pretty stressed before the move. But if you were able to make a living in Cali you'll be able to do it anywhere! Everything is so much cheaper out here it blows my mind.....

I've always wondered how that works out. Living in Mass. where everything is expensive, but we make more money, how do folks in lower income states afford things with pretty standard prices. Its not like an F-150 can be that much cheaper based on the state you buy it in.

They can afford it because everything else around them, including the taxes and licensing on the vehicle, is cheaper. They can afford to buy that same F150 because they're not paying so goddamned much for eveything else, which costs more in higher income states because the higher incomes go to pay for higher costs and the higher costs lead to higher incomes and on and on.

Decades ago, I worked for a company that had a set amount of "per diem" spending allowance for travel. Many people do. But in this case it applied everywhere except New York City. For travel there, the allowable per diem was higher. I thought to my young self...that's messed up. We're kind of providing a subsidy of an artificially expensive market. If we didn't offer that subsidy, and thousands of others like it, fewer people would do business there, and the market might correct itself. But the market hasn't corrected itself (yet).

That does not mean that markets like NYC and San Francisco and SoCal are any more economically sustainable than they've ever been, it just means that we've been propping them up higher and longer than ever thought possible. They will crash. And it's gonna hurt.
