Heat OP said. Gonna leave a dry heat for our horrid humid heat.

So I’ve got a few reasons: -Weather, it’s gorgeous 5-6 months a year nearly intolerable the rest. -Phoenix doesn’t have a localized bad areas, by that I mean you can have crack dens across the street from multimillion dollar properties. It makes finding a place very hit or miss. -we have reverse Seattle, I can plan my birthday 4 years from now and know definitively I can plan something. Sun is nice but we have no signs of any seasons it’s either summer and hot or cold and sunny.
-Schools are bad because of school choice, mouth breathers think that’s a good thing but it leads to anyone starting a half cocked underfunded charter school sucking government funding and leaving kids stupid. -Schools don’t have the funding to be safe, I was in 4 lockdowns when I worked at a rural school district because of lack of security because a bond didn’t pass. -it’s a soulless strip mall paradise with no identity other than cheaper California. -Old people have their own city states that don’t have to pay local taxes where nobody under 55 can live. (See sun city) -I’m 24 and don’t get drunk at bars because I have no way of getting back that doesn’t cost a small fortune. -corporations have bent over the younger generation here by buying up single family housing and causing a huge influx in property values. -said corporations charging a fucking stomach churning amount to live in those houses. -No co-operative apartments you own a house or you rent or if you can’t do either you get a tent and live at our states capital.

Those are a few reasons, I just feel like the west coast is a failure in policies. When I went to NYC and North Jersey I saw a few untoward things, but never homeless shanty towns lining several urban sprawled blocks like in LA SF SEA PDX and PHX.
