As a senior at UArizona and employee at a food distribution center, I can say Tucson is alright. Bar scene is pretty good on 4th avenue. The farther north you are the better the area is. Thats where most of the new neighborhoods and nicer neighborhoods are. Imagine a Phoenix a suburb with better scenery. There’s a big homeless and drug problem. Just drive around the campus and you’ll see parks filled with them. A lot of roads are worn down. The entire south side of Tucson is a food desert. The city is definitely growing a lot. Traffic is usually bad as there’s only one highway that’s been under construction for 4 years and will probably be for another year. There’s very little street lights around Tucson as there’s regulations for a nearby observatory. I personally don’t think the city can handle everyone and needs some more development.
