I'd live there; simply because I could ride nearly year round

Not so much; have friends who have bikes but don't ride during the summer because going 65 in 108 degree temp is killer.

I've been down there in July. It's really not that much worse then here.

It's a "dry heat" - very different. It's not that bad actually. Course I've lived in Texas all my life so I'm very used to the heat.

I lived in Tucson for 5 years and never had a problem with the heat. I miss the ****ing weather in Tucson.

Yep. I've been there too. Used to travel a LOT when I worked for Six Flags and frequently made stops in Tucson. That's where I experienced my first "evaporative cooling porch" and saw how hardly nobody had grass in their front yards. Got used to both after awhile.

I'm going to throw the oldest joke in the world at you....

"it's a dry heat" - Yeah, so is an oven.

I spent a ton of time in the Mesa/Gilbert area working at ASU East. Unless things have changed in the last couple of years stay away from this area:

4972 S Power Rd
Mesa, AZ 85212

That's the address for a now defunct restaurant. They served great food and had a big eating area outside, but unfortunately, there's a huge cattle operation nearby. It freaking stank to high heaven. I guess it's a good thing it was only cattle and not hogs. I guess the city encroached on the cattle op, but sheesh! They must have been sold on the site when the wind was blowing the stench the other way.

Then why not Florida? At least you get to go to beaches in the heat.

I'm going into my 4th summer down here. People come down here to visit Disney or the beaches and its always July and August. It's not always that over bearing hot.

It ain't no dry heat.

It gets as hot in KC as it does in Florida in the summer. The only difference is that it will cool off the feels like 100 degree temps for a week or two in the summer.

I worked in Atlanta for a few months and it wasn't so much the hot and humid days, but how the humidity ruined the nice days, too.... the ~60 degree mornings in the early spring were still really muggy. Yeah, hot and humid is the same suck here or in Florida, but the humidity isn't nearly as noticeable here when it's not 85+ (at least for me).

I've been to Florida in the late fall and winter, and it's great... but, then there's the other 8-9 months of the year when people in Florida aren't bragging about the weather every chance they get....

I'm not sure that being in Phoenix is really "living".
