Nearly 5 months here in Phoenix... some seem to like the heat, I'm just not one of them. From mid-may until early October is just uncomfortable outside imho. Thank god for remote start and air conditioning.
On the flip side, the indoor malls used to provide a public air conditioned space people could flock to, at least on the weekends. Much like movie theaters used to be by themselves. Now they're being torn down, and sprawling outdoor malls with mister systems are constructed. In some ways better, in others not so much.
In the end, will it really matter? The older I get the more I want to move to a smaller town and work remotely. I miss people being friendly and in less of a miserable rush overall.
