Although I completely agree with the plans of the family who are the topic of this discussion, as I mentioned in an earlier post–after personally living in AZ, having investment properties in AZ, and knowing lots of people who live there, the general concensus is pretty much the same–and that is–that most people don’t relocate to AZ unless there are very good reasons, and most don’t stay unless they have to. On the other hand–some people do love it–just as it is–and would never live anywhere else.
Most people we know are planning to move back to San Diego, or elsewhere, as soon as they possibly can–and they’ve lived in the very best areas of AZ for many years. Many of our pilot friends who live there have already purchased retirement homes in San Diego or elsewhere.
For the purposes of this discussion, it sounds like the family who is planning to move to AZ is doing so for all of the right reasons at this point in time. I’m sure they’ll do very well, and be in a position to make other plans if they so choose in the future.
