Arizona!!!!! Woo-Hoo!!!!, in the top 10 best States.
Ha!
Barely below ya!
How much do you spend on A.C. from April-October? Probably about as much as the North Dakotans spend on heating during the winter.
I do love Arizona. My mother's family moved there in the last century (late 19th century) to get away from their Chicago roots. They didn't have A.C. in Phoenix but a water cooler. During the summer they just didn't move.
Also, the wealthy USED to flee the north and northeast and flock to Arizona for the winter. My grandmother used to be a dresser and packer for the 'nobs who wintered there.
I also had an uncle in Nogales, Arizona. He worked for the U.S. Customs. We used to visit both Phoenix and Nogales in the summer. Nogales was beautiful back then. We'd go across the line for dinner. It was nice.
But live there? No thanks. California is just right for me.
