It seems lke the only way the some people can make Phoenix look good is by comparing it to somewhere that gets 15 feet of snow. It gets so hot here in the summer it eats the paint off the side of your house.

It also looks bad comparing the commute time to Los Angeles in order to make that look good too. Really? Thats like saying Osama Bin Laden was not that bad because Hitler was worse.

Thats pretty bad when you have to compare the cost of living to places like Boulder in order to make it look inexpensive.

News Flash...in 2009 real estate values were falling all accross the country. Some people live in a boring world I guess when everything is black and white to them. Furthmore, I thought liberals were supposed to be all on social programs? Suddenly their all rich yuppies?

Hey Vito. Why is it that the only way that people can make Phoenix look good is by comparing to someplace that gets tons of snow every year. Theres plenty of places in the middle. Air quality is definately worse in phoenix. As far as crime, give it some time.

You found ONE other place to live and it was the extreme opposite. That’s exactly what my parents did too when they moved here. They lived in upstate New York. It snows until it gets 15 ft high there. So, what they did is moved from one of the coldest climates to the hottest. I will never understand why people do this. That would be like moving from the freezer to the oven. In your case, from the oven to the freezer. What’s wrong with the pantry? There are plenty of cities in the U.S. that are in the middle.
The only reason I've been here as long as I have is family. Now that I have one of my own, I'm leaving as soon as I'm able. Phoenix was good when I was a young child, but it has become steadily worse. Dirt, pollution, crowds, traffic. Look at the air quality listing on this site. It has become dangerous! Keep it all to yourself.
