Chicago?I'll keep it simple as this, moving to AZ from any part of the Midwest is an upgrade.

lived in Az over half my life...this is trueArizona is pretty racist.
Nice and warm tho.
I have visited once and the only reason I would consider moving there is for the weather.
Nah....I'm good in NYC

AZ is racist. I live here cause the homes are cheap. I used to live in NorCal, SoCal and Hawaii BTW. Mad boring here... u cant go out 6 months of the yr. cause its 100+ degrees. The only advantage are the cheap huge homes. DONT DO IT. Still trying to move back to Cali when the time is right.
That a fact?
IDK, I've never been out to the midwest aside from Indianapolis, was boring.
But Chicago seems dope. People get hung up on the south side but most Chicagoans aren't even exposed to that nature of Chicago.
How's KC, Omaha, Columbus & Milwaukee?
Phoenix is honestly nothing special. Lacks diversity, lacks progressiveness, lacks culture & the job market is honestly overrated.
Cost of living is a mirage. You want a house out here you pretty much have to live in a HOA. The sheriff is a ******* *******.
Unless it's Chicago; I have to agree with this statement.I'll keep it simple as this, moving to AZ from any part of the Midwest is an upgrade.
Minneapolis deuces on Phoenix too.Unless it's Chicago; I have to agree with this statement.I'll keep it simple as this, moving to AZ from any part of the Midwest is an upgrade.
Strongly strongly strongly disagree. Now, I am a Midwest guy, love the feel, but I like the Midwest way more than I did Arizona (grew up there, lived there for about ten years)...I'll keep it simple as this, moving to AZ from any part of the Midwest is an upgrade.
been here in North Phoenix for 8yrs (coming from CA). relocated due to job(s) and I can honestly say I love it here. Streets and neighborhoods mad clean when compared to LA/OC area .
Scottsdale = Irvine (plush)
Phoenix = OC (the good parts)
SW Phx = Los Angeles (downtown)
Mesa/Chandler = Moreno Valley / Riverside area
Don't miss CA much except for beach, but honestly we visit CA so much throughout the year that I tend to find myself going to the beach more now than when I lived in CA.
Hit me up w/any questions!
I've been in AZ for almost all 29 years of my life. Been trying to get out for the last 10...that said, I still agree with @AZwildcats
. It's an upgrade from the midwest.

ain't it like 115 during the summer?
naw b.ain't it like 115 during the summer?
naw b.
I was out there a few months ago and it was 96 for most part. I went to 3 stores looking for a fan. Why did I have a buy a fan at the CVS store? I asked some associates at Walmart and Big Lots about the lack of fans. They goin tell me fans are a "seasonal" item. I couldn't believe it.

PROS of Arizona...
Weather from November-February
Big city feel (if that's your sorta thing)
Good shopping
In N Out
San Diego/Las Vegas/Mexico (all great vacation locations) within an easy driving distance
More pro sports teams (if that's your sorta thing)
Mexican food (Los Favoritos breakfast burritos >>>>>>)
CONS of Arizona
Weather from March-October...everyone talks about how great the weather is...well, I hope you like the sun/heat, at least 90 degrees from Easter to Halloween...not much rain, people get frustrated at having the same weather every single day.
People are very rude. Everyone seems like they are in a hurry, don't say "thank you", "excuse me", etc...just not friendly. Bothers me.
Illegal immigrant issues 24/7...feel unsafe at times
I noticed kids growing up in Arizona get into a lot more trouble (drugs, drinking, sex, teenage pregnancy) than they do in the Midwest, so, I'd keep this in mind if you are considering a family.
Traffic...(keep in mind the rude people for this one too)
A lot of the houses look exactly the same
If someone offered me to live in Phoenix vs. Omaha, Lincoln, Indy, Oklahoma City, etc...I'll pick the Midwest every day...(and I hate the cold)...
HOV lane, or High Occupancy Lane is a restricted traffic lane reserved at peak travel times or longer for the exclusive use of vehicles with a driver and one or more passengers, including carpools, vanpools, and transit buses. Minimum occupancy is 2 people per carStrongly strongly strongly disagree.

I absolutely love smelling the air during the Winter. It smells so crisp. And that first good snowfall always looks nice. I'm not a big city guy at all but Phoenix for the most part only had 2-3 lanes of traffic. I thought I was going to like 5-6 lines of traffic but I didn't. That changed when I got around Scottsdale. And what exactly is the HOV lane?
