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.

Thank you I was curious about JSQ I’ll take a look at Harrison. Any thoughts on Communipaw or Bayonne? I know the rail runs through there also.

I was thinking get my 20’s out of the way and settle somewhere with a backyard when I have kids. Thank you for the schooling angle, it will definitely be something to look at.

That more or less matches our description, I like the New York Neighborhood on prozac vibe.

I’m aware, Central and South Jersey don’t have the same offerings that having NYC in your back pocket does especially in the IT or Banking department. Scottsdale is nice, I’m over in Goodyear and I’m just bored and tired of being here.

We are both WFH, she needs the office. I’m more of a Networking/ IT callgirl so my work is where whatever equipment I’m working on is.

I’ll keep that in mind, the move is more for our out-of-work life. I liked the amount of stuff to do there and the community feel, it would probably add some much needed excitement to both of our lives.
