Phoenix suburbs have pretty great weather (in my opinion) for about 6 months of the year and wouldn’t really consider it worse than having to walk around Chicago suburbs in winter. My biggest concern would be: is the grocery store, restaurants, etc that they advertise as onsite guaranteed? Could these businesses go out of business and then not be replaced for a year? That would really kill the appeal of living somewhere like this.
- ttymck 3y ago> wouldn’t really consider it worse than having to walk around Chicago suburbs in winter. I've never understood this. Properly clothed, a cold winter is far more bearable than a hot summer, in my opinion. Maybe it's just personal preference, but I feel like people have an overreaction/over-aversion to cold, because they associate hot climate with vacation.
- flygurl 3y agoIf you don’t like being outside in the cold, they are broadly equivalent. These folks aren’t going out in the proper clothes, they are just not going out.
- DANmode 3y agoHumidity is the more important, or limiting, factor in most of these conversations.
- lotsoweiners 3y agoYeah that is a personal preference and I certainly don't disagree that proper clothing can make cold winter feel much better. Then again, I'll spend 3 hours straight outside in 110+ afternoons in Phoenix working in my backyard and it doesn't bother me too much since I stay hydrated, sunscreened, and may jump in the pool on occasion if necessary. The big difference to me is that warm climates don't have the other non-temperature things that get in the way when you are on foot. I'm talking about snow, icy sidewalks etc.
