Well this only solidifies our decision to close up our businesses and leave Tucson. After struggling for several years trying to make a go of it in this one horse backwards cowtown we are leaving. So many here have been drinking the kool-aid and just waiting for something that will never happen. Complacency is the enemy and Tucsonans have been drinking way too much of it.
Wake up folks! This town is 300 years old and never will change. They will continue to vote in the idiots that make poor business choices. Other cities in America welcome new business unlike Tucson which was recently ranked in the top 5 for most expensive places to start a business and the #1 spot for cheapest place for retirement. There is nothing here. I mean nothing! But I guess that is what the city clowncil wants, a vacated city only inhabited by the folks who have given up their will to succeed due to the constant inaction and idiotic choices the city clowncil makes. While this is one of the most beautiful places on earth that is not enough to keep sustainable businesses here.
The average salary here is LOWER than YUMA! There comes a point when everyone has to re-evaluate where they are in life and decide if they have the ability to change circumstances to improve their lives. This is a welfare and sanctuary city that prefers to coddle the lazy and illegal rather than embrace the genius and ambitious who want to help bring Tucson to prosperity. I am speaking of the youth graduating from UofA. How many if them do you think stay here to utilize their educations to start new businesses and make Tucson better? Not many that I know of, most can’t wait to blow out of here. Either way with much regret we are joining a crowd that is larger by the day who are packing up and leaving while they still can.
Wake up folks! If you don’t make a concerted effort to change the clowncil and backward thinking of the powers that be Tucson will die and with that all of your dreams. Hamlet 2 (written by a former resident) said it all in the opening scenes…Tucson…where dreams go to die. So sad that such a beautiful place could be so ugly due to a few simple minded idiots with an agenda in office that does not reflect the MAJORITY of the population. I wish you all the best and can’t wait to see the dust behind my rear wheels as I vacate! Oh and to those of you who will say “glad to see you go”, you are the ones who are destroying this lovely place!!!!
