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

Honestly, my biggest complaints are how expensive everything has gotten, insurance rates, terrible drivers, and the insane number of people moving here every year. I also hated APS when I had it and would take SRP over them any day. One thing that really annoys me is people moving here and immediately saying, 'We didn't have this back home, Arizona needs one,' when Arizona doesn't need to become a copy of wherever they left. Other than that, it's mostly great, aside from the occasional idiot who thinks threatening people is a personality trait.

Sounds like where I'm living right now honestly, on Cape cod you can't even get a 200 sqft house for under 200000, it's ridiculous

My bro and his family live up there - mass, Connecticut and I think Vermont too. Ya it’s wicked expensive there. Cape cod is probably worse than other areas.
