Mesa has one of the top developed areas around. We're thinking about moving there as soon as we can get the kids out of the house! [wink] Crime isn't bad, right? Schools are good. Malls with indoor waterfalls. What else could you ask for?

ASUfan,
I suggest checking out the political and religious views. I find both to be quite narrow. Should you happen to disagree you'll be met with a good bit of hostility. 'Live and let live' is a motto not embraced here. To be civil and 'agree to disagree' don't seem to be terms to live by here. I, for one, have grown weary of it and plan to leave soon, having learned that there's more to quality of life than weather.
