Tucson is approximately the same size as Chicago, when talking about the actual city. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_area http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by... -- Tucson is both giant and sparse.

Looks like they include a lot of land for whatever reason that's not really "city" - and don't include some that is. I don't know what the job climate is like there, or life in general, but it seems like a fairly nice place: college town, desert climate, but they also have a ski resort (!) just out of town, because to the north east they have a 3000 meter mountain that juts up out of the plain.

- Jgrubb 13y agoInteresting, thanks for all the info! I've only been there once, and it the hills outside town were on fire at the time, but it still seemed like a cool neighborhood and cool town over all if you can handle the desert thing...
