我的亚利桑那，原来可以用身心灵概括。喜多纳去过，可能我本来就很有灵性，没觉得那些圣山让我更有灵性，但是我拍到了象金刚一样的山形，贴在脸书上给大家看过。给 Eliza Wu 补充几点，亚利桑那霍比人酋长讲过远古神给黑白黄红人各留了一块石牌，让他们分别展现水火气土不同的文化。红人的那块牌就藏在亚利桑那的山里。不知是否是喜多纳。这四块牌要到最后人类面临大审判时都拿出来给神看看各自兑现了多少。另外虽然亚利桑那排除移民，但亚利桑那有很多华人移民，那里万里无云，是美国空军训练基地，民国空军都是那里训练的，退休后就在那里养老。因为湿度低，美国人平时不用的飞机，都飞到亚利桑那停放。仙人掌国家公园也是很美很独特。还有一个木化石公园，以及羚羊谷等很多好玩的地方。亚利桑那还是美国唯一一位土生土长的现代建筑大师莱特的工作室和建筑学院所在，那里有许多大师的作品，与他在芝加哥等地设计的草原别墅风格完全不同，莱特大师在亚利桑那留下了很多仿佛亚玛文化的建筑。他是我最爱的建筑大师。
Actually sales tax is between 8.1% and 8.9% in Arizona. Housing price has gone up since 2018. I sold my house in 2017 for $575,000; it is 2,700 sqft, beautiful sweeping Mountain View’s and 32’ long swimming pool on 1/2 acres. It is now worth over $750,000. Property tax is high in Pima County where University of Arizona is located at. We were paying $6,000 a year for our house. I am sure the property tax is close to $8,000 a year now.
Very hot in summer. I remember first arriving in Arizona at 11 pm in August 1990. Once the airport glass door opened, I felt that I just entered a hot oven. Lol. The air is bad in Phoenix Metro. Just in 2019, Phoenix Metro became ozone non attainment area. I worked for the Arizona Department of environmental quality for many years specialize in air quality before moving onto oil and gas sector. With more people moving in, the air is only getting worse.
Arizona State sales tax is 5.6%; once you add city tax, the sales tax will be between 8.1% and 8.9%. Property tax is high especially in Pima County (Tucson). I lived in Arizona from 1990 to 2018 before moving to Colorado. Our property tax in Tucson was over $6,000 for a $575,000 house. Pima County is controlled by Democrats; property tax is the highest in Arizona. We still own a house in Oro Valley (Tucson).
