Not sure really...

I moved here from South Carolina. I was ALWAYS looking over my shoulder there. My house was like a fortress because there are so many rural Meth heads. I literally had people walking like zombies up and down my street at 1 a.m. during the weekdays, and it was NOT a busy street. They were just up to no good.
I had a bad feeling that we were going to be the victims of a home invasion (which happens a lot in small towns believe it or not)
My kids were never allowed to leave the yard to play. No riding bicycles because of cranked up rednecks driving their beat up cars at 100 miles an hour through the neighborhoods.
Now that I'm in Vegas, we live in a gated community. There's a park here and tons of kids for my kids to play with. My youngest is actually riding her bike to school here. It's VERY safe where I live. The safest I've felt in 20 years quite frankly.
And yes, I love the outdoors. And heat doesn't bother me one little bit. I was born and raised in Fla. and I'm a sun king baby.
As far as paying too much...Yeah, if you're a tourist on the strip. Other than that it is CHEAPER living here than in South Carolina. Gas is WAY cheaper. My car insurance is about the same. My power bill is cheaper. Groceries are about the same, maybe even a little less. And drinks are cheaper at the local bars than they were at the redneck dives in the Carolinas.
So to recap: I love the heat, my tan has never been better. I live in a good community....crime is no problem. And it costs less to live here than it did in redneck, backwoods, bumfuck South Carolina.
I'm good!
