I used to make keys for a guy who did auto repo's on the Res
he told me he had been in fear for his life on several occasions
and that taking an indian's car was a death sentence if they catch you
Payson, AZ here. 5000' elevation, so although we can get to the low 100's (rarely) in the summer, we escape the hell-like summers of the valley. We also get a bit of snow in the winter. This past winter was very mild. We had 2.5" of snow once, and then maybe there were 2 additional "dustings". We get the summer monsoons as well. The air is very clean here, and the full time population is right about 16K people, so we have a Home Depot, a Super Walmart, and a Tractor Supply and a few different restaurants. There is an awesome outdoor shooting range just outside of town, that is ridiculously inexpensive to join, and a couple gun stores......one right in town, the other right about 5 miles away. There is lots of great camping in the mountains not too many miles away. There is always the fear of forest fires, as well. In my opinion, the cost of housing is a bit higher than it should be, based on the job market here, as I think alot of well-heeled valley residents have vacay homes here, inflating the costs a bit. Local well-paying jobs are VERY few and far between. Hope that helps a bit.
I'm a Desert Rat myself but like the option to drive a bit to get out of the desert and see some mountains and trees, so my only concern would be to find a chunk of land of at LEAST 20 acres and preferably a Section of land where I could sink a well for water without having to drill half way to China, then set up a solar array of enough capacity to power a homestead, plant a considerable garden, raise some livestock and become a self-sufficient as practical then get off the grid.Well OP, you have 67 "opinions" about moving to and living in the Grand Canyon state comments ranged from: don't move there, and oh H3ll no, or do not go there; tell ya what, come visit NM and see what a state with the land mass of AZ looks like with only 2.08M citizens.
Yes, Albuquerque metro has the majority of those citizens, Santa Fe & Taos are $$$, but that stated there are a gaggle of areas in the state which promote rural and quite reasonable with good friendly citizens.
A draw back, there are times when the state's governance seems it is still ruled by the Conquistadors who are stuck on stupid, oh wait, that is the current concept with the majority of the legislative arenas in this country.
Now you have alternate location 1.
