Living in Tucson - 10/28/2012

Housing is growing way ahead of incomes. The hot summer months are a small price to pay for the rest of the years' climate

Arizona is a tough place to live... - 9/10/2012

I've lived in Arizona for 11 years now, and I'm not a fan to say the least. It's dry, hot, dusty and there are no four distinct seasons. If you're looking to move here, don't fall for the "lines" they throw at you. The most common are "it's a dry heat", "the palm trees make you feel like you're on vacation", "it's only hot 3 months out of the year", etc. If you're from a part of the country that experiences "normal weather", you will not like it here. It seems nice at first, but it wears down your soul as times passes. I was suckered into moving here, and now I'm trying to get out. The economy and job situation is the only thing keeping me here. I owe more on my house than it's worth thanks to the over-inflated real estate market that burst a few years ago. People are rude, angry and there is a distinct crime problem in Arizona. Coming from the South where people wave and you can strike up conversations with strangers, it's a culture shock. I don't know my neighbors and they don't wave as you pass by. Everyone just wants to be left alone. I'm not trying to change your mind about moving to Arizona, but please do your research. The people in your ear telling you about the good things about Arizona are hiding the negative aspects. Whoever is in your life trying to convince you to start a desert lifestyle has some personal (or professional) reason they want you there. Maybe it's family wanting you closer, maybe it's that promotion you wanted. All I can say is, dig deeper...learn the truth about life in Arizona. Thanks, and good luck.

Horrible place to live!!! - 4/11/2012

I moved to Arizona in 1997 when I was in sixth grade and have hated it with a passion the entire time I've been here. I would've already moved, but unfortunately, something always comes up that prevents me from getting out here. The people here are completely rude, shallow, and superficial. The weather is unbearable. I have two children and I can't even bring them to the park between the months of May to September because they'll burn themselves on the playground equipment. The temperature is between 95 and 120 degrees majority of the year. You have to have bottled water everywhere you go, so you don't dehydrate. If you have small children you can't leave your car in uncovered parking because car seats become scorching hot within five minutes with no air conditioning and will literally burn your child. The schools here are HORRIBLE. When I moved here when I was in sixth grade, the school I attended was two years behind my old school. I was "learning" (more like reviewing) things in sixth grade that I had already learned in fourth grade in the Midwest. Unfortunately, schools are no better now. My son is in first grade and the homework is ridiculously easy, even for first graders. They underestimate the kids here. ASU is a JOKE. It is probably one of the worst schools in the country. All the students do there is party. They get their degrees with minimal work and C averages. ASU only cares about money, as do most of the people in this godforsaken state. Racism and discrimination are HUGE problems here. This state is completely backwards. It is like Hell on Earth. Don't move here if you don't want to feel like the life is being sucked out of you every day!

The great state of Arizona - 3/13/2012

The great state is right. There is so much diversity and things to like about this state. Even though there also is a lot to dislike about it as well. People complain about the laws and the laws of the past. But the state has the right and should have the right to protect itself from being a crime scene in itself. From the desert to the mountains and the mesas all around. There is not much you can not do here. Well maybe swim in the ocean. They say we have no jobs, yes they are right, we do not have places for the unwilling to work, the illegal worker or the one who just flat out goes against the grain. But we do have those jobs that if taken and not high enough in pay or need subsidies and state help, it is there. That is if the others leave room for the wanting or actually need ones. There are water ways, rivers, valleys, deserts, forests summer, winter and some spring and fall. Just depends where you are. Small towns open lands city's for all to see. As long as you agree to take what you bring and leave what nature has been giving in place.

It's true, you can buy a very nice home for your d - 2/4/2012

forget about anything else that's positive in this backward state. Seriously, for Phoenix being such a metropolis city that has grown leaps and bounds in the last 20 yrs, it's a sad state of affair's, two of the biggest, Politicians and Crime. I am a native, in my fifties and I'm almost embarrassed in admitting being born and raised here, however, I have just achieved the freedom to finally leave this state, recommendation's welcome :)

Beautiful state, but... - 9/25/2011

Arizona's politics are so toxic and unproductive that it constrains the greatness of this place that has such natural beauty.

I swear, I'm going to die in this God-forsaken sta - 9/13/2011

I hate this state with a passion. Growing up here, it's really affected my allergies and asthma very badly. Not to mention, it's hotter than the armpit of Hell. I want very badly to move North, but I'm only 17. Plus, my dad says I'll never make it because I have Arizona in my blood and I wouldn't be able to take the cold winters. Well guess what? Hella cold is so much better than hella hot! I can literally feel myself dying! Besides the heat, the economy sucks, violence is unbelievable, the state itself is ugly, and the school system? Well, let's not even go there. Most of you will probably push this review out of mind because I'm 17. But I've lived here my whole life and trust me when I say, it's miserable.
