Tucson really is Toosad

Just a short warning about this place.
This is coming from a multiple degreed straight man who lived in Toosad for several years. Some of this has probably changed I have not been there in several years, but I can only imagine it's gotten worse because the population here is just not very good.
If you just want a place with hot, sunny weather and little or no winter and have an independent income AND have a partner, it offers good weather (if you like hot and dry) and relatively inexpensive living costs.
But that's all you'll get. Tucson, also known by locals as Toosad is infested with snakes, not the slithering kind but the two legged kind. Has one of the highest social deviance scores based on suicide, alcoholism, divorce and crime of any city in the Nation. Very high AS*ho*le quotient, just a lot of bad people who will F*ck u over in an instant. No moral compass to speak of.
A corrupt city government who just want to be left alone to exercise their incompetency. Corrupt lawyers who violate client confidentiality.
A police state with a lot of bad cops on the take from mafia type businesses such as strip clubs, slumlords, etc. Several of them have been charged in past year for serious crimes.
Lots of drug activity and crime, but mostly confined to certain areas, but spreading all over the city. Lots of shootings.
Schools suck, AZ has a rep for having the some of the worst schools in the Country.
Toosad is a lot like Mexico in many respects. Dirty, run down, corrupt and low standards.
Lots of slumlords that the City refuses to do anything about their taking advantage of tenants. Be careful who you rent from. Be prepared for them to try to rip you off in one way or another. Taxi companies with no regulation-you're on your own here, the local morons in gov. will do nothing for you.
Formerly home to mafia don Bonano and it shows.
University that really sucks unless you are in one of the few majors for which there is a research interest. Emphasis is on their stupid athletic teams,and research for profit, not on education. Discriminatory against older students, it's like a movie version of what a university should be-a place to party for young people, nothing for anyone that does not fit into the mold they want. Teaching sucks. Campus cops routinely violate civil rights of non students on campus.
The lawyers in this town are scumbag liars with no ethics. There are some good ones but not many.
Hard to find a good doctor or hospital here. Lots of incompetence and non-professional behavior across all professions in Toosad.
Veterinarians with no ethical standards-they care about money, not about your pets, with some noteable exceptions.
On the plus side. Lots of supermarkets to keep the prices reasonable. Lots of health clubs-try finding one that is well managed and clean. Not far from the mountains or from Mexican border (if you don't care much about your safety).
Very spread out with not much of a highway system. Traffic bad and rapidly getting wors as is the air pollution.
Don't come here to raise kids if u value your children.
Employers treat you like you're an illegal immigrant mostly. Unless you have special skills that are in demand. Wages are low.
You will feel like a minority here if you're white and not Hispanic.
In sum, it's a crap City for anyone who has any values.
