    I’ve lived in AZ for 30 years and I’ve gone on spring break to FL a couple times in college. Florida is fine for vacations in winter or spring but I couldn’t live there full time. Humid summers and hurricane watching in the fall. No thanks. I’ll take AZ dry Heat and no hurricanes, earthquakes, or tornadoes. And cheap homeowners insurance too (especially compared to FL where insurance rates are doubling and tripling). That slightly cheaper house in Florida is a lot less cheap when you’re paying thousands more for insurance. And I get tired of the beach after a few days on vacation anyway.

    Tucson has sadly become a $hi t-hole. There are lots of good, hard-working people there still. But it’s become overrun with homeless drug addicts and crime. The roads are in terrible shape, there is blight everywhere, the police are under-staffed and the city leaders do not care. And I mean they care so little that even the non-partisan community coalition that formed trying earnestly to solve some of the problems were almost successfully prevented from speaking at city meetings by the Mayor. She was unsuccessful in preventing them from speaking but so strange that she is committed to watching the destruction of Tucson.

    I lived in both states,Az most of my life and Florida for 5 years. And I wish I never left Florida. It can get depressing with all the rain,but,there is so much more to do there. The reason why I left was houses are expensive. And the houses are much cheaper in Arizona. Thats the only reason why I left Florida. But, hopefully,one day I will go back to Florida and never move again:)

    I live in NYC with terrible Asthma. At one point I had to sleep in my car and in the offices of my customers, sneaking in at night and out at 4am after I ran out of money for hotels (close to $200/night). Been all over the world and it only got worse until I went to Phoenix. After 2 weeks of suffering and feeling even worse than in NYC the Asthma was gone! no meds, normal sleep, it was a miracle. Now I want to buy a home but I am not sure if I should also be trying vegas because I head of pollution in phoenix and much harsher/longer lasting heat in the summer. Las Vegas sounds better for me.

    I was stationed in the panhandle for 4 years and loved the area (minus 98 traffic and hurricanes). I got stationed here in Tucson 4 years ago. They both have pro’s and con’s. In the panhandle the humidity isn’t bad if you are near the water, the cost of living is much lower, it’s way more conservative, and Florida is way more friendly to veterans. If the hurricanes and 98 traffic weren’t there it would be ideal. Tucson isn’t bad, but the cost of living is way too high for what you get, the summers are never ending, the traffic is pretty bad when the snowbirds come back, and Arizona as a whole is not very veteran friendly. They passed proposition 130 last year to exempt disabled veterans from property taxes, and nobody I know qualifies for it since they put a$30,000 a year income restriction on it. The best part about Tucson is there’s no natural disasters. Tucson is the liberal Mecca of Arizona, so there’s plenty of crime if you’re looking for that kind of thing.

    ​@@moodypet8837overall, the OP is right. In comparison to Florida, Arizona doesn't have a lot to do. You can sell a person on hiking, visiting the Grand Canyon and biking for only a short time. People are moving to Arizona to be with family and try to cash in on, what was once affordable home prices. Over 500+ people died in Arizona's so-called "dry heat" this summer. Florida has humidity, hurricanes, bugs and gators but Arizona isn't exactly Mother Nature free. a bear killed a man in Coconino county, and even reports of an Elk killing a woman. Javalinas are a nuisance. We need water. Florida has plenty. Arizona has none!

    So much heat!!! It's almost mid October and we're still hitting high 90's, low 100's...and 70 for an overnight low. This isn't new either, it's very common to not hit the 80's until NOVEMBER, then it starts heating right back up by April. lots and lots of driving to get anywhere too. For as packed as the Valleys are around Phoenix Metro, things are still very difficult to get to. Have to take the loops and/or interstate and 10 miles could take 30 minutes without traffic because there aren't always direct routes to your location. AND THEN THERE IS SNOWBIRD SEASON!!!!!!!!! Oh how I wish we could outlaw those sob's.

Crime, dilapicated neighborhoods, high taxes combined with low wages, gangs throughout the city, etc., etc. Thanks to the liberal influence of defunding the police, the city has about 300 officers when it is allotted 832.
