I have lived here my entire life so I dont know much about other cities but I know there is better places than Tucson. The crime here is awful, yes I've never been robbed raped or shot but its been close. I have been afraid for my life many times here, i've been threatened that my house will be bombed, and much much worse that weren't just threats. Drugs is a major problem here at least 98% of people I know have admitted doing at least marijuana and at least 85% have done worse. One of the other comments said Marana is a good place its not, the schools there are full of drugs, alot worse than here. The drivers are crazy I have almost been hit many times. The education could be better but its only bad because a lack of funding, I think. It gets so hot here, I hate that. Most people here are poor, but for the super poor there is a lot of help. There are some good things here like the help for the poor and that most people are friendly and usually grow to be like family. There is alot of places that teach about culture here, especially indian. There is one thing that I love here that I haven't seen in most cities, it is that the roads are like a grid. I have had a hard time in places like San Diego because the roads are wierd and twisty there. Most people here want to leave, that tells you about the city.
