Should I leave Detroit, Michigan and move to Scottsdale, Arizona?
November 30th, 2009
SDC asked:
I currently live in a suburb outside of Detroit, Mi. I was born here and have lived here my whloe life (28 years). I am miserable and have always wanted to move out of state. I feel that Detroit is the armpit of America. Plus, the majority of my family has packed up and moved south. However, I have a great job that I really do love. My friend has moved to Scottsdale, Az and loves it. I went to visit for a weekend and I loved it too. I have an invite to come out and start a new life. Of corse, I am a little scared. Any words of encouragement or good advice would be most appreciated. Also, how is the economy in Az? Are jobs frugal (I’m in accounting with a real estate background)? People freindly (for the most part)? I like the heat but are the summers really that bad?

Also, if anyone has good advise of why I should stick out in Detroit,…..by all means please elaborate.
