Haboob!!! Look it up. Lived in Tucson for a long time, my brother and his wife live in Phoenix, as pointed out damned hot most of the year (however we were 10-15 degrees warmer this past Thursday), huge issue with illegals and all that brings, decent home prices (except for Scottsdale-think of a whole city like Cherry Creek North or LA west and ditto on the women), beautiful in the winter. Gunsite is a lot closer lol as well as a few other great schools and top notch gun builders. Bad air pollution, good roads, great for motorcycles.

Like most places there's good and bad. Do your homework on residential areas, if you can tolerate the heat not a bad place though I liked the vibe in Tucson better but the economy is worse there (has the same problems and is more politically liberal on the downside).
