[QUOTE="Mr Geek, post: 79024, member: 15144"] Hi GW, When I was working in San Diego the company opened offices in Phoenix and Tucson, AZ. I always hated the heat and I told the guys, who elected to move over there to start these new branches, that they were crazy due to the intense desert heat in summer. They all told me, "yes but it's a dry heat, so it really is not that bad" but still I didn't believed them until moving to the desert myself. They were right. On the "Do people have lawns?" question, well very few people have lawns, due to the cost of water to keep it alive through summer. Water is expensive down here and it takes a lot of water to keep non-native plants alive in summer. Instead of mowing the lawn down here we rake the dirt :D But all kidding aside if you select the right plants you can have a fairly inviting landscape. When I bought this little house it was 5-years old (built in 2006) and it still hadn't been landscaped, it was just dirt. It was actually a fun project get a yard in place (see below). Images below show the house from the street and another shows the neighborhood. As you can see it is 100% lower desert terrain down here and it's not for everyone. Personally I truly enjoy being away from the city, whether it's mountains or deserts or anything in between, I love the peace, wildlife and beauty and pretty much zero crime out here.
