Arizona. The cost of living has sky rocketed, people from California are moving here increasing our already high population, the heat, snow birds, police suck. And gov douchey.

It's become so busy here, the traffic and road rage is horrendous. I remember growing up we had rush hour times and as long as you avoided those times you wouldn't run into traffic. Now it doesn't matter what time I leave. Every time, weekday, weekend, rain, shine, theres traffic, crappy drivers, road rage everywhere.

That said, I love the heat and it is beautiful. But I don't think I can afford to live here anymore. I don't even think I can live here and stay sane

That's unfortunate, I enjoyed my trip to New Mexico and Arizona last year a lot. Beautiful states. Just too hot for my preference.
