I live in Tempe right now and I'm gonna have to disagree with you big time on thisOriginally Posted by dland24
My parents live in Arizona. I am there all the time.
PROS:
-hot women
-spring training
-golf (although weather puts a HUGE damper on it)
CONS:
-weather (excruciatingly hot in the summer, paralyzing cold in the winter)
-driving (freeway system is terrible, tons of radar/cameras every mile or so, people there just cant drive)
-airport (always delays)
-entertainment (not a whole hell of a lot to do)
-lack of diversity (dont know if you care about this or not)
I wouldnt recommend it personally, but I am a huge pansy when it comes to heat. Moms called me the other day and said it was 119 degrees. Thats like FIFTY DEGREES hotter than I like it.

I'm originally from the Bay and I moved out here to Phoenix around 5 years ago and I'm living in Laveen right now. The Laveen area is actually not bad at all. It used to be all farms in the past from what I heard but it's really developed now. The whole area is pretty much new homes. The only bad part is how far it is from the East Valley. I go to ASU so it sucks driving 30 minutes every day for class but at least I got a HUGE house for 150kOriginally Posted by proper english
so um.. why are houses so dirt cheap around the SPHX/Laveen area?.. im talking about a 4br, 3bath, 2500sq ft single home for under $100k.. in contrast, a modest 1500sq ft in the Scottsdale area can go upwards of $350k+
is it really that bad down there?

My coach lived in Laveen while I was living in South Phoenix this past year. It's amazing how different it looked going 10 miles down BaselineOriginally Posted by Liban906

The weather here is the worst part. I came from Cali where we have some of the best weather in the US to this heat but once you get used to it, it's not that bad.
