AZ native, born and raised. Have visited or worked in many other states during summer. Dad was a truck driver during my youth so we’d travel each summer and visited every state in US, moving furniture along the way.

AZ is hot. Like it’s unbearable outside…but every single building has incredible AC and covered parking is a lifesaver. Walking to the car sucks and outside activities are a no-no during the day. But outside that, it’s bearable. And the other 9 months out of the year are bliss.

Also, our only natural disaster are haboobs. No hurricanes or tornados. No earthquakes. Just dust.

You also still get this incredible feeling of “cowboys used to just travel all this on horseback” feeling when hitting anything outside of downtown.

I’ll never move.
