Whats it like in Phoenix? Is it nice there?
 

Im definetely leaving san diego and was going to move back to the east coast. But I was thinking of spending the winter in Phoenix as I dont feel like snow.
I talked to 2 different people, one from Phoenix and one from tucson.
The tucson people said that Phoenix was shitty and over run with illegal aliens and a lot of alien and black gangs and cause crimes. They said Tucson is real nice and doesnt have the illegal immigrant and crime problems.

The Phoenix people says that phoenix is great and that Tucson is over run with illegals and crime.
so what is it?

the phx area is freakin awesome!

really? cool

The gangs are stuff are centered in the poorer areas, but they do branch out over the better areas, from what i've seen. Crime occurs all over the place in phoenix and tuscon, Just a matter of being there at the right time and place. Also crime occurs more frequently in certain areas and some of those areas move each year.

Scottsdale is the nicest place to live in AZ, in my opinion

I've lived in both and prefer Tucson.

Where are you guys supposed to come up with the water for the population growth you're having?

I don't see how the south west can keep growing at the rate it is.

I am in Tucson, And prefer it over the general Phoenix area. Unfortunately there is crime anywhere you go though. I had 8k worth of audio and visual equipment stolen out of my SUV while it sat in my driveway :|
