In general: Considering Phoenix is the 5th? 6th? largest city in the US, please don't believe that the freeway system or any public transportation is anything but lacking. Yes, every area is "connected" but at what price? TIME. You can't move on those freeways at rush hour. The light rail is a joke. If you need to get to certain areas downtown, and live north of that area, you still have to drive and park. As for Flagstaff, please note that it is NOT that much cooler in the summer. It still reaches 90 degrees in July & August, and it is running out of water just like Phoenix. The lakes around that area dry up (Upper & Lower Lake Mary) in summer. Nothing in this post really explains why "Phoenix is a good place to live." I'd say if you are young, have no family to raise, can afford a decent place to live, and want work, it's pretty good. But it fails in most other categories.
