4 hot months, 8 great months in PHX. W valley here seems to be cheaper than e, but affordable we just bought our first home in August. Moved from WI 3 years ago, love it here.
Austin is expensive and bad traffic, housing cost is rising there too. bunch smelly hipsters who claim they have better tacos than SA, lol keep dreaming
my buddy put her house on the market and decided to move back to SA, guess she got tired of it.Yep. I'm glad I moved here 11 year ago. If I was looking today, considering the absolutely miserable traffic and sky high real estate market, I'd probably have gone elsewhere.
Austin is nice to stop through and visit, but it has become a haven for liberal stupidit.
You live in Tuscon, of course it sucks there. Tuscon is a complete and utter shit hole.Do not move to AZ if you are not established in your field of career OR have/want kids. This awful state is STILL trying to recover from the recession with no end in sight, so advancing in your career is not an option.
And there is nothing to do here. The few things you can do are not kid friendly OR are twice what you make an hour for 30mins of fun OR just plain cheap, short and uninteresting.
The weather here sucks, if you say you like it, you're lying. Hot, hot, extra HOT for more than half the year, weird cold day, hot again, then about two weeks at end of January/beginning of February where you need shorts and a tshirt during the day, but pants and a jacket at night and then the cycle starts over. Any entertainment that involves water is overcrowded.
Lots of drugs, terrible education system, wasteful government that builds shit nobody uses or wants while neglecting infrastructure. People here are just the rudest assholes you will ever meet. I got yelled at by an old woman for getting into my own car before her, like WTF? Lots of people going to prison or jail over stupid things due to large private prison system. State motto: "Come on Vacation, Leave on Probation."
Cheap housing is NOT a pro, houses are a glorified box. No basement, no attic, plain styling. Flat roofs that are prone to leaking. Mold. Dust. Allergens galore. No trees, gardens or grass. Lots of weeds that are prickly or covered in thorns.
I know I'm probably too late, but unless you are using this as a stepping stone or just enjoy going to work and staying home on the weekends, Arizona is not for you. Everyone I know has left or is planning on leaving. Most just graduate and then leave for someplace better.
When people like you rip the place they live that hard I start to think the problem isn't where they are but them. It is what you make of it man.
have you considered vegas/henderson? not as hot as phoenix but 100x more things to do. and 100x more people lol.
