I like being hot and I have severe allergies and asthma so deserts agree with me.
I’m just saying, there are other desert cities that are better than Phoenix because Phoenix folks love grass. Sante Fe is almost entirely xeriscaped, very few mosquitos.
Yeah that would be way more my speed. I have no interest in moving to the desert and having grass. That’s fuckin crazy.
