Review of Tucson, Arizona


Not good for families
Star Rating - 10/17/2005
I have lived in Tucson for 20 years and there has been NO progress at all in planning. It amazes me that a city that is growing so rapidly has absolutely no vision for its future. Progress happens by default, not by planning...and believe me, it's not good at all. Crime is the highest in the nation and per capita income is the lowest. The school sytem is at or near the bottom in the country as well. The natural beauty is the only thing that has kept us here this long, but that is far from enough. We are leaving as soon as we can.
