Buckeye is underrated, change my mind

Random thought, I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Average temperature is around 75--F, so it's warm year-round. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.
