Just because millions of people choose to live in crowded hot aggressive places doesn't mean you have to. It took me a too long to figure that out. After several years in Phoenix (and Vegas), I moved to a liberal little town in Oregon and I'm much more relaxed now. And the house you can get for your money isn't bad either. My only complaint is that in a cooler climate, girls cover up too much.
To each their own I suppose. I was born and raised in Oregon and have now lived in Vegas for 10 years. I much prefer Vegas to Oregon. Better weather (other than the 6 weeks a year in July/August that Oregon is great), ton more things to do and no state income tax.
