Did someone say desert?
Love Flagstaff! Sedona is in the forest? looked a lot like desert to me, but we just drove thru, not the kind of forest I had in mind.

popularity of the area, it's God's country...
Good answer.

You could also pick on Los Angeles for taking water from the OWens Valley. Good thing they did it though. People are going to live where they want to live. Fot now at least.

Nope, Sedona is in forest although it is close to the edge of the forest which probably starts around Village of Oak Creek (179) and Red Rock Loop Road (89A). Pinon Pines and Junipers are not real tall trees but they are still trees.

Is someone making you buy a home in the desert? So go buy a house in Los Angeles and be happy..until another earthquake comes along.

I suspect you don't own a house in any state. But I could be wrong...but I doubt that I am.

Mostly because they're poor and can't afford any better. That's why I laugh about when ever Republicans claim "tax payers are fleeing California", it's the working poor who are leaving because they can't afford the price of housing so they're moving to one of the few places you can buy a house on a $12 per hour job. Meanwhile the rich are snapping up ever more houses in places like California because they sure do like those Malibu beach houses, the Vineyards in Napa, or a Mansion by the sea like Romney bought in La Jolla.

They're economic refugees who got priced out of the good life in California because to many other people with money wanted in. There is no shame in that but there is in covering it up with lame political rhetoric. Just call it what it is, they don't have the money to live in the most desirable places so they decided to live in a place which the market has determined is less desirable but where they can afford a house. That's all there is too it.

I agree.. Buy a house anywhere you like, but don't buy one in Az, NM or Tx.... They are too hot for you... Somehow we will survive without your presence.....

See, I'm not afraid to tell the world where I live, you, on the other hand, hide in the shadows and throw rocks....
If you respected everyone's opinion, you wouldn't have started this troll thread...
