Isn't it really hot and sunny ?
- dikaiosune 10y agoThe Verde Valley area gets hot in the summer, but still ~20 degrees F cooler than the Phoenix area. About 2.5-3 hours north of Phoenix (north of the Mogollon rim, on Colorado plateau), our hot summer days are in the low 80s, and we regularly have several feet of snow in winter.

(notice that the trees are all planted, as there are none on the mountains, and absent from less-prosperous residential areas)
- dikaiosune 10y agoFlagstaff and Prescott are quite pleasant from extensive personal experience, but unfortunately they're not where the formerly-Bay Area jobs are flowing.
- downut 10y agoYes. I watch fairly closely and nowadays there's basically nothing. When I moved here there was actually quite a lot of interesting stuff going on. But it slowly eroded away.
