Definitely move back. Do whatever you can to avoid getting stationed in Phoenix. Whatever good it might do for your career just isn’t worth the inevitable misery you’ll experience getting into your car after it’s been baking in the desolate expanse all day.
That’s all America knows how to build anymore: sprawling suburbs with a minimum quota for parking spaces per-capita. Stucco and pavement as far as the eye can see.
I moved from there to Chicago as a young adult - best decision I ever made. Started my career in a beautiful city with 4 whole seasons and minimal magma pavement.
That’s exactly what I was implying. I used to live there - the asphalt would be hot to the touch at night and outright dangerous to touch with bare skin during the day. The heat island effect made for an unbearable outside temperature for most of the year.
I’ll never understand people who want to live in the desert; plants can’t even survive there. Phoenix is a monument to man’s arrogance.
I tell this to people who want to move to Phoenix. Damn asphalt practically glows in the dark it’s so damn hot.
How are people like you still both-sides-ing for upvotes when one of those two parties is filled with literal fascists and Nazis and the other just forgave billions of dollars worth of student debt? Wake the fuck up. Your false equivalence only serves to help the fascists. Unless, of course, that is your goal?
This is America. We’re obsessed with preventing adolescents from fapping.
I’m not the person you are replying to, but I take your point and agree with you in principle. However, you didn’t really address their point that $42k is the median household income in her area. So at least half the households (not just individuals) are trying it. But I don’t know how it’s working out for them.
Perhaps that region is quite affordable or has a low cost of living or is crime ridden, idk.
Yup. These “free market” folks conveniently forget that competition is bolstered when there’s a floor. An impartial referee to call balls, strikes, and fouls. A set of rules everyone has to play by, or they don’t get to play at all.
Also known as regulation.
Mfer… you will not have the satisfaction of again my daughter’s hand at her graduation.
