LOL, what's up with all this hatred for Phoenix? I relocated from Tucson earlier this year and think it's a great city. Living as a citizen in the upper middle class may give me "warped" view, but seriously some the things on this page are ridiculous! Let me help!
Phoenix Pros:
- Low cost of living (at least that's what they tell me, but I'm in college full time making less than 20k a year- everything is expensive to me.) If you make more than that or even better HAVE JOINT INCOME, you should do swell!
- Updated highways make it easy to get across the city and make decent time. If you consider 30-45 minutes PEAK traffic through 20 miles bad- please move back to Montana
- Nice weather from October- Mid May
- Great Mexican food
- Most of the population is pretty friendly
- Beautiful sunsets and scenic landscapes
- Lots of shopping centers (if you're into that- if not avoid them)
Cons:
- Yes, it's hot as heck in summer- it's a DESERT
- Occasional dust storms/ minor to serious monsoon flooding depending on the area
- Traffic during peak hours 6-9 AM & 3-7 ish PM is bad, but bearable
- Big cities mean more people which equals some crime, but I've never bumped into a drug lord midday on the street or been kidnapped and sold into the sex trade (knocks on wood) so...
- Yes, some people here are racist- it is Trump's America (unfortunately), maybe you should have voted- but it's in no way comparable to how deplorable people are in the East/South
-Lacks culture
The police are very corrupt, some areas feel like Mexico and racism is rampant from all sides. No race comes out clean in Arizona. Do you have interracial kids? Dont move to Arizona. The whole place is so divided they will be rejected by everyone.
Traffic is insane and no one can drive. The I17 has fatalities all the time from drunks and wrong way drivers, avoid it at all costs.
The weather is horrible. You think you want sun, but not this much 300 days a year will look exactly the same and it will make you feel like nothing is moving forward.
Crime is getting out of control. I dont even feel comfortable with my kids out back alone anymore.
Arizona is basically just an extension of California now. If you have a family, look elsewhere, this is no place to raise kids
