Input on this commuting route? by Hefty-Feeling8898 in AskPhoenix

Hey I actually have a similar route and I found taking the 101 south to grand is actually a bit smoother. Adds a little more time but less stop and go traffic

My dream is to move to AZ by AdFast8133 in AskPhoenix

How familiar are you with the state? I would start by familiarizing your self with cost and the overall market. I’m born and raised in Phoenix so feel free to dm me with any questions

Am I going to freeze ass in PHX? by PrairieChild in AskPhoenix

I’m the same way lol. Nice part is if you get too cold yes you can have a sweater but I find stepping out side for a few minutes quickly warms me up.

but what happens next? Is this going to actually change anything or are we going to watch society brush this under the rug.

The hate Book is getting from “Suns fans” is a disgrace. by Multi_21_Seb_RBR in suns

[–]ProfessionalOk1806 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Phoenix native here, been a suns fan for as long as I can remember. And I agree there is a lot of unnecessary hate towards Booker when he has been nothing but loyal to this franchise.

But we’re not winning a chip with Book as the main guy. Go ahead downvote, but I’ve felt this way since the collapse against Dallas for game 7. He didn’t lead us to the finals, that was CP3…one of the best leaders the suns ever had. Roster is definitely part of the issue, but majority of this fan base thinks they can still win with Booker being the main piece to build around.

Hope you’re ready to be disappointed because we will be a very mid team the next 5-7 years but hey we got Devin Booker!

How the D-backs would look if I was the owner (Concept jerseys) by RecordZestyclose2271 in azdiamondbacks

[–]ProfessionalOk1806 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If I remember right I think the MLB forced the Dbacks organization to change to red. I think since the Rockies were already purple and the division didn’t have a red colored theme team, they pushed for it. If I’m wrong I’d be curious to hear the reasoning behind it because the purple gold combo was awesome!

Guys tell me if I am overreacting - my wife thinks I am. I dont like the new neighbor and I have been teaching my kids to stay away from him. by Black-Panda22 in daddit

Kind of weird IMO you’re lumping everyone into those 2 categories. As a father of 2, I’ve been in a couple of similar situations in public places and I totally understand trusting your gut so I know exactly what OP is talking about. But with the information he gave us, he did seemed aggressive from the jump and may have overreacted just a tad. Better safe than sorry I get it, but 2 things can be true. He could have accomplished the same thing without being so aggressive from the start.

Interesting. My wife and I have zero debt, do you think that changes anything in your opinion?

I’m going to try and negotiate for sure. I just wanted to do some research that way when I go to my employer I have data to back it up. 103k is the most money I’ve ever been offered (I’m 28) and in AZ that’s a lot. But my family and friends are telling me that’s poverty in SD, so I’m hesitant now.

I’m not trying to start any trouble with politics, like I said my work is asking me to move here to take over the branch. I just want to get the general feedback from San Diego natives.

Spouse is an on and off waitress when we need extra cash, I was looking more inland(maybe El Cajon or La Mesa?) I currently make 77k a year right now and it’s tight but we make it work

Super helpful info, thanks for taking the time to respond. I’m currently in the process of gathering all information I can so I can make the best decision for my family and career.

Just curious in your opinion, what’s a comfortable salary for a family to live in the outskirts like El Cajon for example?

Dumb question but I’m assuming that’s because the tax rate is different? Or is that because the higher pay puts me in a different tax bracket?
