Compare and contrast Phoenix, Tucson, and Yuma

[skydiver30960]

I'm researching job opportunities in Arizona and need to know more about these communities. I'm doing some poking around online but want to hear from the locals! Tell me about these cities, and compare them to one another. Things to get you started: cost of living, quality of living, crime rates, quality housing opportunities, stuff to do, culture, anything you want to tell me.

My stats: married, no kids, middle class, want to buy a home, will be moving from Virginia.

Thanks!
