If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then he will do it that way.

nah, tempe is pretty good, much better density of "stuff to do" than the surrounding burbs. plus you're not far from downtown phx or old town scottsdale

it's where i'd move to if i moved back

the big downside is also driving its upside: asu

cool, that's good to know. i was very dispirited looking at housing and seeing nothing but McHouses and Condos, but that probably can't be helped.

How is the Mexican food? this is important.

i had pretty good mexican food at a place in what was iirc near downtown phoenix

the airport is pretty bad and you really do have to drive everywhere. f you want to be in downtown phoenix you can probably get something decent for cheap. it seems extremely boring there though so unless you really like the family you have in that area i wouldn't move if you aren't feeling super great about it to begin with.

also they have dashboard carpets in their cars because the heat will destroy them within a year or two otherwise. lmao

explosive growth isn't all that great when everybody wants to own a home

e: also people who say it's boring, what do you like to do? cause it has p much all the same things to do as other large metros, just more spread out. i lived in the burbs for 20+ years so im used to having to dig, i guess

i appreciate your help, friend

i don't need to love the location, i just need to be able to tolerate it for a few years. i am very career oriented currently and that's why I came to the south, and (will, if given the right offer) move to AZ.

endless suburbs is very bad, however. is there at least a neighborhood with a lot of hipsters?
