I live in AZ because Mass was an expensive shit hole to live in and would drop a crap load of snow every winter. The Phoenix area is way cheaper, way more fun, and way sunnier. Sure it gets hot in the summer, but I'm used to the heat and prefer the trade off of really hot summers over snowy winters. I would love to be in San Diego where my cousins are, but its too expensive. Austin, TX is the only other place I'd consider. Since I've been in AZ for about 3 years I'm very happy and can't see myself leaving anytime soon.
