#Phoenix #Arizona

Living in Arizona is quite a unique experience because of the vastness that the state offers. From the Sonoran Desert in the south to the high country in the north all the way up towards the Four Corners east and the Grand Canyon in the west. Known as the Grand Canyon state, Arizona is diverse in many ways. The state tree is the Palo Verde, the state cactus is the Saguaro, the state bird is the Cactus wren.

Crowded is an understatement, I moved away in 2010 and whenever I visit now it reminds me of trying to drive around in Los Angeles

I love cacti. l love hot weather. I love living in the suburbs. I love summer rainstorms. I love the outdoors. I love Mexican food. I'm saving for my down payment

The "only" reason not to move, not only to Phoenix but to Arizona is the "soon-to-be lack of water"! I cannot understand why there is a steady increase in construction going on when residents are constantly reminded about the lack of water. It is one thing to build homes, etc..., but to build at such a high rate is unconscionable!

I’m from Phoenix south to b exact been in Portland past decade but I’d take home than here but it’s definitely different from 2012

[victoriaquezada]

Sounds like you don’t want more Californians moving there

As a local, I can agree we sorta lack in the food department.

I never understood why people say it's boring. I mean what else is there to do that were missing outside of a theme park? Which isnt coasters something or whatever its called got that? I just think some people are too picky..

Everything you said is correct. This is my second attempt to live here and have been here a few years on this go round and as soon as my house is sold, I'm outa here.

Number one through 10. "Too many people already have moved here we're getting too packed."

phoenix has 5 water sources- 2 surface rivers, colorado river water, groundwater, and recycled wastewater. as for electric power, it has palo verde nuclear plant, the nation's biggest. a problem with phoenix is the repeated boom bust economic and housing prices cycles which people soon forget but really shouldn't. a positive thing is that taxes are low and the cost of living is still low compared to the coasts. another very positive thing is the absence of devastating hurricanes, storms, and sea level rise. finally, it has beautiful winters.🙂

Food? Maybe Phoenix restaurants suck but not up here in Scottsdale. There are so many types of different cuisines here and very good quality.

I was born and raised in southern Arizona. Currently living in Phoenix (have for the last 5 years). Will be leaving in December as the cost of living and crime has exploded here. Everywhere you go it's got a street corner with homeless or drug addicts on it. The cost of living especially the cost of a house has gone to the moon here. In the last 2 years I've had my car stolen, mail stolen, place broken into, and had tools stolen off a job site in broad daylight. Traffic is getting worse with the influx of drivers from California 😒 and hit n runs are ridiculous here. Add to that the impending water crisis and Arizona is not worth it anymore.

I grew up here in Az from 2nd grade the Heat has getting worse because of all the damn building they are tearing up all of our desert and the frigin traffic has been just sickening because everyone moving here from other states its actually has changed they need to stop this damn tearing up our deserts and building I'm 70 will be 71 so I have seen so much change

People say oh it is just a dry heat here, it is not! The monsoon season (can be a coupe of months) is humid and hot but perhaps not record heat when it is raining. Never the less it's uncomfortable when sun comes out.

Live in Tucson, the desert 🏜️ is jaw droppingly beautiful. The gridded city full of strip malls not so much. They could have made Tucson one of the most beautiful cities in the world. instead it's new growth is just thousands of horrific track homes.

Guess they just want everyone in the rat race.

[manfredmann]

Guessing and hello from Tucson,

1. Traffic
2. Air pollution
3. Sky high rents
4. Sky high AC costs
5. Housing prices leading to a substantial homeless population
6. Aggressive drivers
7. Crime
8. Road construction (I-17 at the south end)
9. Extreme heat
10. You need a car because the transit system is less than adequate

I LOVE the dry heat. Humidity? Not so much!

[fastrack]

Being born and raised and still living here, I got to say the best amenity is THE SUN! You definitely get enough D3. I love Arizona!!!

[terriekiso]
