Phoenix, don't waste your time coming here unless:
You love hot weather.
You're fluent in spanish and english.
You have no desire to keep anything of value (your car).
You want to pay outrageous prices for BUYING a home, if you are renting, it is considerably cheaper.
You love hot weather.
You dislike rain/snow. (300 sunny days per year on Avg.)
You don't mind dealing with tons and tons of illegal immigrants.
...
We have GREAT freeways, best freeways i have been on tied with new mexico's.
Mexico is only a 3 hour drive.
Weed is roughly $360 per pound.
Coke is cheaper than most places.
Meth pipes are available at any liquor store for $3.
Plenty of illegal immigrants to traffic in weed and coke.
Cops are very leniant.
Emissions .... very easy to please.
High car insurance rates.
Networking jobs are always available.
In winter it is 60 degrees and nice, if you need, you can drive an hour up north, and it's 20 degrees and snowing. (snowboarding/skiing etc)
Small businesses work well here.
24 hour McDonalds, Jack in the Box, Wendy's, Wal Mart, SubWay, etc.

i'm also originally from phoenix. it's a great place to be depending on where you are. pretty much everything vtec in 5th is true.. the northern part of phoenix ia very nice.. car theft is a big problem though.. i had 2 honda's stolen in 1 year and 9 days.. but neither had an alarm..
on the house thing: my parents house was worth about 130,000 14 months ago..(built in 1976, 2100 sq feet, 3 bedroom, 2.5 baths, pool, 1/4 acre lot) now it's worth about 260,000
i now live in tucson where it's a solid 8-10 degree's cooler with a ton more illegal immegrants.. i live about a mile from U of A so it's a descent place to be.
