Arizona

[Tigerlily]

Anyone live in or around here? I am over the cold weather. If Cali wasn't so expensive we'd move there.

I'm in Tucson, have lived in the Midwest and East coast. I know AZ pretty well so let me know what type of city you're looking for and if you have any other questions.

 

[sinamos]

I live in Cali and it isn't that expensive.

 

[Giggly]

There's also Nevada.

 

[Shaula]

I live in Cali and it isn't that expensive.

What is your income?

I live in California too and it IS expensive.

I live in Cali and it's much too these days. Was 84 F driving home today, and it's still only March!

Yeah. I was shocked to discover a two bedroom apartment (not a nice one, mind you) in my neighborhood goes for $1400!

 

[Oso Mocoso]

Meh. California is suffering terribly from the economic depression. I couldn't afford to live there without a decent job. It seems like decent jobs are much easier to come by elsewhere.

 

[Haight]

I lived in Scottsdale for about twenty months and I didn't enjoy the four months a year of temps averaging 112 (I think that was the number). However, my tennis game improved during that time.

There is no Arizona.

(lame, but I couldn't resist)

Plus, the whole town is an outrageous waste of water in the middle of a desert.

It's an insult to everything environmentalism stands for.
Maintaining golf courses here is simply insane.

This city has no future, it's only a proof how greedy and destructive men can be for short-term benefits.

I had a long discussion about this with Alex MacLean, if you know him. (Alex MacLean)

I live[d] in Scottsdale,
I like it.
I'm a slow-paced person though,
suburbia works for me.

I live in Northern Arizona now,
because I attend college up there.

It's cold! haha but not as bad as the East Coast.

Lived in Arizona til I was about 11, always liked the people there, not a lot of snobbery. However, you do have to get used to the blistering sun and homely landscape.

In Frisco its not unusual to go over $2K for 2 bedroom.


I'm paying the most for rent I ever have. I am also making the most. Net +.

Yep.
But I appreciate the sun a lot more now. There was a blizzard last week at my university, it's about 60's in Scottsdale today. Quite nice
