I've lived in Tucson since 2001 right before 9/11 happened. I've had many ups and downs here, but i'm proud of the city that i live in. I won't go into too much detail as to what has occurred since 2001, but I vote tucson as a livable place with an "okay" quality of life. Tucson is not hell on earth nor is it heavenly on any level. Tucson is what you make of it and I choose to appreciate what it has to offer. One obvious positive that outweighs the negative is the ethnic diversity. For a city that inhabits 800,000 people in the urban and 1 million metro, I believe it's diverse for its size. It's pointless and irrelevant to compare its diversity to a city double or triple its size. Water is limited and the city has a drought problem, which contaminates and increases our problem, so that's one negative that sparks my concern. Anyway, Tucson is a decent place to live in contrast. Not perfect, but tolerable to any personality who isn't naturally bitter or pessimistic.
