Considering Tucson vs New York — help me decide

Hey, Born and raised here. Homes are going for about $242,200 on average. Poverty rate is 13.4%, which is around average. The unemployment rate is 3.9%, which is pretty low. It's a a major city city with about 543K people. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The city has invested a lot in new development. Property taxes are high but you get good services. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The weather takes some getting used to.

Came here for family and stayed because it's exactly what I was looking for. The walkability is honestly better than expected and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
