Overall

Because the weather is so good here 9 months out of the year, everybody is outside, including the criminals. I don't think that there is any more or less crime here per capita, but the degree of violence is stepped up due to gang activity and prevalence of gun ownership, legal or otherwise. Whereas in one city there may be a brawl, people here just pull a piece and ask questions later. If they don't, someone else will! Needless to say, people here are much friendlier overall, because you never know who's packin'! Like it or not, that's the way it is. If you can deal with the shift in thinking and acting, Phoenix is great. But, if you like to run your mouth and get into fights, stay in your boring little town - you may be saving your own life!
