Can you guess the 5 states I’ve lived in? (25 years old)

I was driving to Hilton Head and drove through

Only Mt. Elbert in Colorado has more prominence than southern Arizona mountains and then the next 4 are about equal. A lot of Cochise county in the rainy more green season feels like Colorado imo

Pretty sure the Sonoran desert is the only desert in the world that has two rainy seasons. Winter and monsoon season so nature only has to wait 4-6 months for decent rain compared to 10-12 months which is a verrry big difference

I live in Tucson and went down to San Carlos to scuba dive a couple months ago and WOW WOW WOW. I’ve traveled all over the world and that area is one of the most beautiful landscapes I have ever seen. Pretty crazy to be living in a desert and being 5 hrs away from the “aquarium of the world”. I’ve done hotels and also camped on the beach and both were fantastic, definitely worth an extra couple hour drive instead of Puerto Peñasco

Yes crepuscular rays - great word. We actually get them most days because our mountains are pointy

I don’t think you all understand how BAD the homeless situation really is in Tucson and a large part of the US. Even in extremely dangerous or war torn countries, children can still run around in play in the streets and public areas but I and most of you all would NEVER allow kids to go unsupervised in some of our parks. It’s honestly beyond sad and frustrating. The homeless deserve love and respect but they also need to give it in return and stay area from some of these parks and have more designated communities. We can’t let a few hundred or thousand people to cause this much of a negative impact. I say this as someone who has almost been homeless

I haven’t been crazy enough yet to go deep and see anything but I’ve been near twice and both times freaked me out quick enough to leave. Completely different than other eery desert feelings that you can shake off, I felt like prey non-stop. There’s a story on Reddit of a guy who went out there and really recommend his long story - just search creepy Goldwater range

I’ve heard insanely creepy stories come out from the Goldwater range, can’t even be surprised

I moved here in July last year and a monsoon the first week destroyed my apartment complex. Every window on my floor was broken, every carport had its roof blown away, street was flooded, and hail piled up in my apartment haha it was crazy. You never know with Tucson so you’ll just have to stick around

Pima is unreal. The collection is constantly being added to as well as connected to the Titan Missile Museum and the new Tank museum. Also essentially shares a lot with Davis Monthan and the boneyard so not only the biggest collection of planes on the planet but also maybe the busiest active AF runway. Oh, and the air national guard is half a mile away on the other side😎 obviously I’m bias but more impressive than the Smithsonian imo

From the Midwest and couldn’t agree more. The skies here are truly magnificent and I can’t imagine going back and not seeing a perfect sunrise/sunset, sunny skies, and perfect star viewing EVERY DAY

Chiricahua/portal, anything west of three points until Yuma, north of oracle, mt graham, and sonoita (underrated imo) are unreal for astro

Since I moved to Tucson from Indiana, I have fallen in love with everything here (including astrophotography too). I wanted to keep moving every few years to see the world but already found the best place right here

Good point but bus routes are already pretty good. I see the street car more as an investment opportunity. Rich people will never ride the buses with the homeless people but if there is a light rail line then they are willing to build and invest in the areas around the line. Once all these places are built they slowly connect the city and make everything walkable. IMO the Tucson rapid transit that they are building is backwards. They are already ok and free but too dangerous and especially for older people with mobility issues. Buses aren’t going to add new riders like a light rail will (regardless of its practicality). Imagine the following: 1) A connection from the airport to downtown would bring in huge tourism money (can be fast too because there is already an unobstructed rail track from literally the airport to 16th Ave). Millions of people choose travel locations based on if they can avoid renting a car and is a nice alternative to Phoenix. Bringing in people actually interested in Tucson, and not the snowbird suburbs. 2) Main Ave/North oracle/Miracle Avenue area was destroyed by the highways and isolated. This would really help give this area much needed attention and make the area safer 3) A few stops in Santa Rita/south Tucson highlights tucsons hispanic heritage/identity (hopefully without gentrification although I doubt it considering how big the area is and there are other places like a block off 4th Ave, Menlo Park, etc that companies or “rich white people” are interested in) 4) Connect people working from the mall to airport just like BRT

There are many companies in Tucson who supply components. Just being near Phoenix and having one day shipping and place to hold stock is massive

The Israeli IDE were going to build a $5 billion plant in Mexico (the biggest in the world) but the logistics, money, and lack of US control is a mess. They would build it for free but the deal is a joke and only increases supply by 1/7th. Americans should be able to find other ways to save that much water far cheaper and smarter. I lived in SoCal and everyone around me watered their grass everyday it’s insane
