I've lived in Tucson, Phoenix, and Flagstaff. I prefer Flagstaff. Tucson is not too bad, but it has bad air days and is way too hot. Phoenix is ridiculously hot and some days are so toxic that it will shorten your life. Flagstaff has crystal clear perfectly clean air most days, with the exception of when they do controlled burns in the forest. Then there is some smoke. The summers are cool in Flagstaff, and the winters are cold, but nothing like the Midwest. Some years it snows a lot, but most years the snow is tolerable.
