cost of living around Scottsdale?

[spokewench]

Thanks Crankin.

I also talked with a friend who lives there. I agreed to their salary offer if they help with relocation( coming from Florida) so see what they say...

I am iffy though on the lack of greenery. I have lived in Colorado and in New Mexico and I liked Albuquerque, but I did miss greenery a little. Traffic doesn't bother me Florida-the SO and I just want to get back to being somewhere that is more outdoorsy. We really want to go back to CO or up the the PNW but I haven't been able to find a job in those locations yet( I work in private aviation, so it is a small field).

It's only 2 hours to Flagstaff - pine trees, 7,000 feet so if you get tired of the desert, just come north!
