I did live in Tempe, AZ(outside of Phoenix) for 6 years. I know some people there, and I liked it a lot. It was hot from June-August, but I could adjust my schedule a little. The one downside is that there is no real beach. I'm not sure how often I would go to the beach, because I have always lived hundreds of miles away. And I might be able to drive there now a few times a month, even from Phoenix or Vegas. When I was living in Arizona before, I didn't have much money and couldn't travel very far. Although I have visited the tourist parts of all 4 of the cities above, I don't know what they are like to live in. I do know that a lot of people are moving there, and for good reason.
I live in Ohio right now, and it is great from May-Oct. But, it is supposed to be spring, and it is snowing and cold outside. I have a very outdoor type of lifestyle. If the weather is nice, I will ride my bike up to 10 miles each way to get someplace. I like rock climbing, swimming, and hiking. I think I could do those things in any of those cities. I grew up in Michigan, so I've had enough cold, snow and rain. I would rather drive to the ski hill than live by it type of thing. All I've done for the last 4 months is sit indoors because it is too cold to do anything, except skiing and snowboarding.
