    In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The A-Team.

    See. Further proof why you should choose Tucson over Phoenix if you decide on Arizona. That mountain I mentioned? It keeps most of those up around Phoenix. An I lied...if you get homesick not only can you bond with trees but there is snow in Flagstaff. Google it. I'm not sure how one post pictures on here....

    I see you say...you don't care where you live. In that case...Do what others do. Base it on taxes. If your hardly going to be home, the other stuff really doesn't matter. No state income tax is appealing to some folks.

    Still I suggest a list of things you like an dislike if you seriously intend to relocate. Would suck to move to somewhere an they lack things you want/need. My sandbar is that way. Everyone is like.."Oh you live on a sandbar. That must be awesome!" Then they try it, an realize they can't live without their 24 hour starbucks, 50 different walmarts, 22 best buys, an several varieties of copy cat competition for both.

    New adventures are fun. I did it the first time I moved to Az. I think I read a book an talked to a friend who had lived there. Said #### it, loaded up the car, and rolled out. Worried about a job an a place once I got out there(was very easy actually, go figure).

    Sirscrapntruckalot - Get the motor running. Head out for the highway...looking for adventure...an whatever comes our way..- Born to be Wild

    Tucson would be good and drive for Danny Herman Trucking. This company runs lots of I-8 and I-10.

    Listen to @Sirscrapntruckalot, do not move here!
    We've got people from California moving here bc they cannot afford to live in their high tax state, and we've got the crazy Canadians here driving like old people fornicate-slow & sloppy-and we do not have enough freeway for everyone to get around now!
    So, just stay where you are for now.

    I forgot about the Canadians.

    They really do like the Phoenix area. Due to it's central location. RV'ers there are the same. Want to see old people drive stupid crazy in a 40 ft vehicle? Visit Arizona in the winter.

    I'm sorry to hear about the California people invasion. I may have to be nice to Phoenix. Nobody should have to deal with those crazy people.

    Hang in there Arizona...eventually Cali will break off an sink. ;)

    So based off what I'm seeing it's about 50/50 on saying to do it or not
