Do not move here!

There is a high crime rate in this metro area...no matter which neighborhood you live in. There is much gang activity, theft, robbery, property crime, gun crime, shootings...and I’m talking about GOOD neighborhoods like on the east side of town. Just drive around any area west of Panasonic Road (3/4 of the city) and houses have bars on the windows and doors.
The Tucson City council is more concerned with expensive boondoggle idiot projects. This means they cut back on necessities like police and road repair! Taxes are high, here. Lots of unemployment ( unless you work in the medical field). This city and county government is anti-small business!
People in this city take very poor care of their pets! This should be known as the city of strays (stray cats, stray dogs). Overpopulated animal shelters, too.
And the heat. Summer lasts 7 months. And it’s NOT dry heat! The humid monsoon season starts in late June and lasts into October. So if you like being in 100 -to- 115 degree heat June thru September, move here. The nights stay hot....lots of summer nights never cool down below 75 or 80. If you own a dog, you can’t take it for a walk after 8a.m. because the sidewalks are so hot they burn your dog’s feet!!
The rate of pay in Tucson and Pima County, for most jobs or careers, is well below the national average. Many neighborhoods are weedy and shabby from poor upkeep, and people just dump trash and garbage in the street; and open areas out in the desert near the city are used for illegal dumping. Very ugly and dangerous places.
So, if you love heat stroke, poverty, high crime rate, trashy/seedy/dirty looking places, and dipsy incompetent government, then move to Tucson.
