Phoenix is a nice place to live!

Why is everyone so bent on Phoenix? This is not the only place or State I've lived in, but all I can say is people need to stop bashing Phoenix. It's hot, get over it.
A person's perception of Phoenix is likely dependent upon where they live in the City. There are extremely nice areas and extremely nasty areas. Do your homework before you move here and figure out what works for you. I love my neighborhood, but would never live in some areas of the City.
As for cost of living, compared to California and other coastal areas this place is downright cheap and a good value. Taxes are extremely low. I can understand why some people are so bent, because a lot of people lost their rear in the foreclosure crisis here, and it's because this place is "desirable" and banks and developers got greedy. Hint to those who still have their job and still filed banktruptcy: "Don't buy what you can't afford".
Phoenix has tons of year round recreation including: camping, hiking, dog parks, universities, professional teams, dining, night clubs, etc. For all those who complain maybe you should open your eyes and stop complaining, or maybe just move to a better neighborhood. I love Phoenix, and I wish a few more people would say something positive instead of focusing on the negative.
