I'd thought I'd add a bit about the Phoenix heat as someone who lived in Phoenix until moving to Austin for university. Saying Phoenix is a 'rough place to be' is an exaggeration. Yeah it gets pretty hot in the dead of summer, however the low humidity makes being outdoors far more tolerable (on average) compared to most places in the southern United States (such as Texas). Even then, I wouldn't think of it as a big deal other than the larger-than-average electricity bill for air conditioning. You're definitely right about the tech scene though, it's why I came to Austin.
