I lived there for 25 of my 29 years. I now live in LA and am never looking back... If you are old and republican, by all means, move there and stay put. But if you are younger and have dreams, stay away, Phoenix is an energy stealer, it will suck you dry (like the heat -haw haw). The state and city are run by retards with no vision, people like Joe Arpaio, Phil gordon, etc... If you do move there, and I suggest you don't, I'll help you with the hotspots and all the best places to live and eat, there are a few... Not to mention 3 or four bikers die a week there, no fun at all... Plus side you will be among a select few with nice vintage machines. Phoenix is all about the weekend warrior type, lots of custom chrome douche sleds here.
