MY HONEST THOUGHTS ABOUT LIVING IN ARIZONA.

8 months ago, I moved from Canada to Arizona and they are so different in many ways, so I thought I would share my experiences to help anyone wanting to make a big move as well.
Things I LOVE about Arizona so far:
*Very mild Winters, warm enough so I can take long walks outside and still eat on the patios at restaurants! (with a jacket)
*Extremely friendly people, very easy to make friends
*home costs are much less expensive than in Vancouver
*great prices on fruits and veggies! (I'm vegan, so this is a big plus for me!)
*Amazing second hand shopping! The best I've ever seen!
*Great, unique, healthy restaurants. My faves: True Food Kitchen in Scottsdale, Flower Child in Arcadia and Veggie Village in Phoenix... (try the vegan Pad Thai!)
Things I love about Vancouver:
You can walk and be outdoors all year long! (this is a big plus)
Even when it was raining and lightly snowing, I could still bundle up and go on long walks. *Fresh Air *Cleanest drinking water ever *Amazing sushi!

Came to Phoenix from Seattle a month ago and I was still able to go walking in 108. I don’t understand why people complain about the heat?

[@shannonlauren6322]

Tucson is so much better than Phoenix in my opinion. Summers there are way nicer there and monsoon season is better it rains way more there in the summer.

[@MountainManAbe]

I heard that Phx used to have better weather and the monsoon storms were nicer too just like in Tucson but now it’s so unbearable. The heat island effect is what causes Phoenix to become way hotter at night. It’s a problem that needs to be talked about. The more Phoenix grows, the more the weather and temperature will be affected.

[@travisleeds2910]

Arizonan native, my family has been in the state since the 1880's, maybe longer, before arizona we became a suburb of every where else, we would cool off at night. People just look at the high temps, not the high of the low temps, we used to all carry sweat shirts or light jackets with us year round, we used to have the high and low temps for the country on the same day, hot during the day cool at night. If you got caught stranded out all night you could get hypertherma. You could see the milkyway in its true brillance, now we have 100 degrees at midnight, it was 102 at 2:30 am with a dew point of 52 degrees and 35 % humidity last week in the north valley, 40 years ago that would have been our high for the day, now its our norm. Why, because the suburbian new residants, have to put in an air conditionar, emitting tons and tons more heat into the air, then the swimming pool is added with addtionnal non desert landscape, so the humidity goes up. So the non native residents of arizona are the causes of major climate change, (global warming). If you wish to deny that humans are a cause of global warming, keep moving to the desert. If you wish to help reverse the human caused portion of the global climate change and you were not born in arizona, or any desert, and havent been here for 35 years, (if born here in the last 35 years, you are a non native) then go back to where you came from, then maybe, if we are lucky, by the next generation, the global warming will start reversing its self, then we all might be able to survive, if not we are all screwed. The hotter the deserts get, the hotter the world will be. It is far easier to heat, warm things than cool things, hot items will cool easier than cool things, unless you add 1 million ac's emitting 160 degree air all day long and 2 million cars emitting 220 degree air all day long. Help save the earth from ourselves, move away from arizona, go home .,

[@greg1030]

@@beemocha Now that wisdom has forced me to swallow the environmental facts (compounded climate change) of AZ, I wonder how many of us NYers gave up on building a house anywhere in AZ? Even north of Maricopa, where it's cooler in Yavapai and Coconini, there are wildfires, which is not really surprising since virtually all the western states got hit with fires, even if some got it much worse. And while you can follow FEMA flood maps to keep your build out of harm's way. wildfires are totally unpredictable. I'm way too much in love with my high end custom home theater gear to simply 'evacuate" and collect the insurance. And it would take me years I don't really have to replace my DVD, BD and CD collections. Human induced climate change and AZ's insane growth rate will also make the SW's natural water scarcity far more dangerous and expensive in the coming years. All of this probably sounds petty and silly but I've been in love with the idea of retiring to AZ and select places in NM forever. But after months collecting stats and probability data from federal and state agencies and numerous news reports found here, I've been forced to hold wisdom's coat while it kills my dream.

The summers in phoenix are really not that bad. Obviously you will have to work on getting used to it however after a few years they are not that bad. When it comes to Arizona their are so many things to do to get out and enjoy scenery like sedona, slide rock, meteor crater, petrified forest, etc. If you want snow you can go to Flagstaff. For me I would rather be in the sun that's 115 degrees than live in a snowy state. I hate snow and cold. Family goes out from Michigan to PHX to visit and they get way over dramatic about the heat. They make it sound like it's the end of their life. I go to Michigan and I'm ready to die when it's 30 degrees. Also family in michigan like to use fans even in the winter because they need a " breeze". I however have to walk to another spot because I'm freezing with that fan on

[@AslanKyoya1776]

Phoenix rental market is a bit pricey but it is not Vancouver BC level! I live in Portland Oregon and I looked on craigslist and most apartment rentals are about the same prices maybe a bit less. On top of that most complexes have a pool, fitness centre, and the square footage you get is usually more! In Portland I would have to pay a few hundred more to have a complex with those amenities.

Welcome to AZ I’ve been living here all my life. I live 40 min south of chandler. There’s a lot of really cool places to see and do. I recommend hiking down the Grande Canyon. Staying the night in Tombstone & National Monument Valley. There’s so much more.

Did anyone caution you about Valley Fever before you moved to Arizona? Have you met anyone from Arizona who has experienced Valley Fever? Most cases are in the Phoenix, Tucson corridor.

I grew up in Phoenix and it is hot (above 95) most days from May-September.

Sometimes it is hot into October too! I lived there 14 years and never "got used" to the heat

What kind of visa did you get to stay in Arizona?

[@danr5105]

Back an forth since 1971 (Tucson). Very poor pay in "the trades" very poor pay all around. The way to deal with the summer, move away for the summer.

Back and forth between Tucson and where else? Just curious as I’m considering being back and forth between California and Phoenix (to avoid summer time in AZ)

@@patpatmoomoo5524 LA, Northern CA, WI,Europe. This was a lifetime. I struggled in automotive (BMW GM Honda) while in Tucson. There was simply not enough work to go around. My move to Milwaukee right around 2000 allowed me to pay off a student loan. I believe the answer to low wages is to move,rather than complain year after year. Now I am back in Tucson,retired. Great place to retire to. Phoenix. All the bad things LA has but without a beach. For the longest time (with Joe Arpaio as Sheriff of Maricopa Co.) I would not even stop there for gas.
