I live in AZ and it is gorge and bouij, but I’m going to try and convince you not to move here by showing you this photo of a bug I saw yesterday.

V — still in PA. Not planning to move until the kids are out of the house. Then we downsize before they can move in with us.

In the past couple of years, housing prices have risen faster in the Phoenix metro than anywhere else in the nation. Why? It’s a nice place to live.

What is so special there versus another place..? I’m
