Whatever you do, don't come to Arizona. I've lived here for 17 years. I moved away once for a little while and had to come back. So trust me, I know. You don't want to come to Arizona. Don't believe anything good you hear about it. Stay away. We have rattlesnakes and scorpions and cactus. The desert is ugly and brown and you can't get enough water to drink. The desert is hot and the mountains are cold. The Grand Canyon is just a big hole in the ground. Over 1/3 of the state is unpopulated Federal and State land that can't be developed. It's too close to Mexico. Stay away. You would be much better off to move next door to John Galt in Texas or take a submarine to Hawaii and live with Nords.
