Consider Prescott or Prescott Valley, still reasonable home prices but the area is still growing. Temps are usually 10-15 degrees cooler than the Phoenix area. I lived in Yakima for 45 years and Washington State has gone to ****. Glad we relocated. Lots of jobs, nobody wants to work.
Nobody wants to work. People schedule interviews and don’t show up. It’s partially why my wages are so high for a non-CDL driver. I’m only $1 less an hour than our CDL drivers. The people who do work, don’t work very hard, it’s easy for me to shine.
