Phoenix
The weather's beautiful (9 months out of the year) and the ladies are more beautiful (you would fit right in, 
).
Hope you at least visit somtime soon.
but that was in 1988 & I haven't left! Pretty much lived/worked all over the valley, Prescott & Tucson, so I know what works for me... Scottsdale. Then if your rates are 600+, consider Paradise Valley, Fountain Hills, Biltmore, or almost anything along Lincoln Ave. That's where we keep the majority of the $$ 
. The Census of our entire population is about as questionable as is our national deficit, though not as astronomical... sources report from 5.2 million up to 7, while the 6th largest US city (& THE largest capitol city). We still roll up the sidewalks at 2 am but are a very diverse culture, having virtually anything you can think of to do. Four major sports leagues, world-famous golf tournaments & courses, NASCAR, Barrett Jackson, host spring training for many major football teams, are likely candidates to host our 3rd Superbowl in 2012 (if they don't give it to New Orleans or Miami), world-famous resorts, award-winning cuisine, & filmed many of your favorite movies here. In relevance to your specific question, all this is responsible for paying the rent, however, a word to the wise... Phoenix (AKA, Valley of the Sun) is a VERY seasonal landmark! Full-time residents must build a significant savings during in-season for survival throughout off-season. Or, getting the hell out of Dodge (requires fundage too!) is smart so you don't blow up on the way to your 149* car when it's 119* in the shade. Yes we do fry eggs on some of the cleaner sidewalks but our wasteful/snobby society only eats them over-easy. And you'll definitely need your own car here b/c we're an infinite geographical mass, built outward, not upward, on a simple grid system. Have the most lightening strikes of any state, 300+/yr days of sunshine, have had 2" of rain since Jan w/a few 117*+ temps, have no ozone, are #1 in the nation for skin cancer, #1 for child drownings, #1 for kidnappings, #2 in highest automobile thefts, #2 for hardest hit by our current economy, virtually any non-felon can walk around with a holstered gun, & we have very few insects, but the ones we do have are large enough to be saddled for transportation. We have tens upon thousands of hookers, even more sluts, & yet even more sexually-suppressed, corrupt politicians of the Closet-Hypocrisy Party/religious figures who aren't real bright (but that's probably redundant anywhere) & a sheriff who launders $$, is jailed, though still in office, while the hush-hush media reports that his harsh illegal-alien tactics were what got him arrested (Google it everybody...). But... we DO have 9 mo of gorgeous weather, mesmerizing sunsets & rises, heat relieving Monsoons, snow skiing, water sports, world-class beautiful women, gambling, a various multitude of shopping venues, 52 adult entertainment clubs, the best nation-wide heart & neurology facilities & doctors, the finest tequila, massive public pool parties, state of the art night clubs, dozens of modeling/talent agencies, breath-taking scenery, rodeos/horseback riding, lakes & yachts, fine arts, unique architecture, one of the world's largest space observatories, & over-all a phenomenally clean & aesthetically appealing town, full of women who apparently like to gab. Honest, the pros far supersede the cons. Welcome.
Oh & when authorities mail a pic of me caught speeding, I mail back a pic of me writing the check! }
