Thinking of moving to the area

I'm a 24 year old queer man currently residing in the new England area, looking for a fresh start and AZ is calling my name. (Especially with the thrill of no snow)

Here's my question to the locals, what do you like, what do you hate? Why would you recommend az or should I look elsewhere?

Thank you for your time and input

I moved to West Mesa in 2021, but have experience different parts of the Phoenix area since 2010. What I love about my part of town is that we're close to three different highways (Loop 101, Loop 202, and Highway 60), we have an amazing Asian district with great food options, and we're close enough to Downtown Phoenix for events (I love going to concerts). Some parts of Mesa are a little rougher than others, but generally it's a pretty good area. I'm a gay man and I haven't had too rough of a time, but that's just the experience of one person.

I took a glance at your account and saw that you've got some geek hobbies. We do have a non-profit LGBTQIA+ organization called the Phoenix Gaymers where we strive to be an all-inclusive community of geeks who love different types of games from video games to table top and everything in between! I can send you an invite to the Discord if you are interested in learning more! I don't know if this applies to you, but we also have some furry groups as well!
