I lived in Tempe for 15 years. I ran my business in a complex, just behind Minder Binders on McClintock. I was robbed twice while there. Tweakers and illegals are a real problem there. Even worse is the tweaking illegals. I was in Tempe for Tday and things have been shuffled quite a bit in the 4 years I have been living here in Boulder County. My first house I owned down there was behind Earnhardt Ford off of Baseline and Rural. It use to be a great neighborhood. It is practically the bario now.

We were lucky to sell our second house. Took a huge hit. I had two mortgages for 29 months when we moved up here. It was tough, but we did it. My inlaws have been trying to move out of Chandler for 3 years now. Housing market is still dropping down there. Most people have simply been walking away from their obligations, thus making it worse.

Sorry to hear about your family having to put up with the losers down there. Like someone said earlier, what goes around comes around.
