I currently live in Arizona. Housing market is screwed, the construction industry is shutdown and our sheriff is a Nazi. Nothing is produced here this state consumes. There is an initiative coming up this November to legalize MMJ. The Governor has said she would not sign off on it. Arizona is so broke they have already voted to tax MMJ. If it does not pass this November I well be headed for the mountains. Where is the best place to move in the state that is equal parts (family friendly and cost effective and MMJ friendly)? Must also have a hospital in reasonable distance for a place to work.

Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions. The planning has begun!

It really depends on what you're looking for. Family friendly means different things to different people.

I live in the Denver metro area. I grew up on the east coast and got transferred here back in '01. I'm used to urban areas, and Denver is the only thing that's even close to being urban. Honestly I couldn't stand CO when I first got transferred here back in '01. It took a couple of years for it to grow on me, and it's only been the last 2 years that I finally thought of Denver as home. People still get a kick when I say Denver's a small city. Some even get upset. Usually come to find out they're from a small town somewhere, and this is big city to them. Me - I'm used to going out any night of the week and partying until dawn. Doesn't happen in Denver, at least not publicly (home parties don't count). Drive downtown on a Tuesday after 11pm, and it's a ghost town. But it's still growing and it's gotten better in the last few years.

Anyway if you're looking for work in the medical field, Denver has the most hospitals. All the other hospitals in the State are just small rural hospitals. If anything major happens, they send the patients to Denver. I also work in the medical field as a technologist. The Denver area is the only area in the state where I can find full-time work. Anywhere else, I'll just be on call - i.e. get a page, go in, punch in, work, then punch out. So depending on what part of the medical field you're looking for, that could really narrow things down for you. Any questions about Colorado medical field stuff, feel free to ask me. I'll try to help as much as possible.
