- An amazing climate year-round: moderate winters, incredible springs, hot summers (but with a refreshing late afternoon monsoon rain every day between late June and late September), and fantastic falls.
- The best economy in Arizona right now, and the part of Arizona most likely to receive stimulus money under the Obama Administration (based on how it voted).
- Natural scenery that is among the most amazing in America. Enough said.
- Butterfly and bird species diversity that occurs nowhere else, including many Mexican and tropical species.
- The ability to enjoy a variety of habitats within a span of only a couple dozen miles: low Sonoran desert, higher Sonoran desert grassland, Madrean oak desert woodland, and high-altitude Canadian forest (thanks to the incredibly rich altitudinal range of SE Arizona and its famous "sky island" mountain ranges).
- Much more reasonable rents than in SoCal!
- Great and highly authentic Mexican food. (Okay, this wasn't really a big consideration for me [my stomach has been veering more towards the "hate" aspect of it's love/hate relationship with Mexican food as of late], but it's still cool to say.)
Any more questions or comments, anybody?
