Review of Tucson, Arizona


Tucson is under rated but it is a beauty :
Star Rating - 5/19/2021
I have been living in Arizona almost half my life, with 13 years in the Phoenix Area, and 10 years in the Tucson area. Tucson has been under rated for too long.
I didn't gave it a 5stars because, I strongly think, there is no 5 stars rated big city in this world. Everywhere has its Pros and cons. So is Tucson.

The Pros :
1. Naturally beautiful Desert, Savanah and Forest Metro
(A) The high desert at elevation 2,100 feet to 2,500 feet.
( B) The Savanah at 2,600 feet to 5,000 feet elevation
( C) Pine Forest above 5,000 feet.

2. A flourishing Performing Art Industry

3. A leader in Scientific research
4. Less expensive to Live in many areas.
5. More friendly inhabitants
6. A growing Engineering Industry
7. Gastronomy Capital of UNESCO
8. A Big city with a small town feel
9. A college Town
10. A Vibrant Aerospace Industry
11. Down Town Night life especially in the Central district, and the south.
(A) Casinos, Clubs, Sports bars etc.
12. The Gem Show
13. PGA Tour, Ice Hockey, Tour De Tucson Bicycle competition, Festivals of Books, Beer, Jazz etc.
14. Beautiful suburbs of Oro Valley, Casa Adobe, Catalina Foothills, Rita Ranch, Saddle Brooke, Oracle, Sahuarita, Green Valley, Vail, Cortaro, Marana, and more.

AZ is running out of water - no one should live in Tucson - LOTS of poverty - dead downtown - mediocre university at best - half the population leaves in the summer - town is DEAD - HOT
