Spot on with the police. I had an accident last year called the cops they said they're not coming as long as nobody died. Called them 3 times they said they would not come
And no one talks about this enough!!! Certainly not other real estate agents who tend to try and paint a rainbow picture. I'm sorry this happened to you. That's wild. what area/zip code/part of town did this occur in, if you don't mind me asking?
@@LivingTucsonArizona it happened south Tucson 🙂 thank you so much for your videos it really made me feel better about moving to Tucson the first time I planned to move here
You may already know this, but for others who may be reading this, the Tucson police are understaffed because of the relentless demonization of them by the media and left wing extremist who called for "defunding the police" (the violent summer of 2020). Tucson didn't even have to defund (I'm not sure if they did or not), but the cops I spoke to said no one wants a job that suddenly now has such low esteem associated with it.
This is true, cops will not go to a car accident, unless a person is critically injured or there is a death. Most places are like this too, if people get a dent or minor damage, both insurance companies will do the negotiations. Can you begin to imagine if cops answered every non-fatal or minor accident call ? There wouldn't be enough officers to cover all of the other real emergencies of every other genres ! People just need to focus, be kind to others by driving defensively, watch the speed limits, stay off your cell phones, don't drink and drive. Use your brain, stay off drugs, remembering that tomorrow is never promised. Don't rush around allow extra time.
I have lived in Three Points for 21 years. I am all over town daily / doing Uber.. I know this town very well. I am deeply in Love with it here! The one thing I wish Tucson would repair is the potholes. Some of these will destroy a vehicle. I have picked up a few rider who had to have their car towed to the repair shop after going thru one and losing a tire, rim and other parts.. We do have many homeless people, even more lately. Its a sad reality here...
Thank you for this comment, I agree, it is a sad reality about the number of homeless there are in Tucson. Those potholes are crazy!! Definitely not a spot to have the thin-rim tires (im sure they have an actual name for it.. clearly i'm not a car person lol)
I kived in Tucson 7 years ago. Then i went to Alaska for a few years. I just came back not even 2 months ago, i got jumped by a group of teens, everyday people steal from the gas station and recently a dude broke the glass in the door entrance and stole a bunch of tobacco, saying he had a gun. Idk man, it wasn't this bad 7 years ago i swear. And the police?? OMG... I'm not even gonna start. All i can say is they are one of the WORST, possibly the worst, police force I've ever come across. Everything was better when i was younger. There weren't as many homeless, illegals, snobby teens, etc. I have way more respect for Anchorage now, holy cow. And I'm usually a pretty happy person and optimistic about most things, but this is just undeniably bad
Oh my gosh!! I am SO sorry you had that experience!!! Are you okay??? What gas station (cross streets) were you at where you were jumped?? And what time of day was it?

I have a completely different experience here and can’t relate to anything you said. While I’m positive there is truth in some of what you’re saying, I do think the neighborhood one lives in makes a world of difference.
I lived in Tucson for 8 years and I ride... you are correct about all your points, i've had 2 friends killed in those years and more maimed. It is not only the elderly drivers but the college kids texting ect. and not to mention the illegals with no insurance.... If it wasn't for the U of A and the military there would not be a Tucson. The Police are horrible and the Mayor is a woke Communist. I went back to visit a couple times and it has become dirtier and more homeless along 4th Ave. Never again.
Thanks for your comment! A lot of homeless on 4th and near the highway. agreed. Distracted driving is definitely a big factor too. In my personal experience, it hasn't been the reason for any of my/my wife's close calls. It's been due to elderly. Undocumented w/ no insurance doesn't really play a factor when it comes to vehicular deaths. Aside from UofA and DAvis Monthan AFB, there's the airport, Raytheon, Caterpillar, Amazon. I think there would still be a strong economic presence in Tucson and will continue to be.
One last thing, if you are moving to Tucson and you don't have a best friend, you will soon. "Dust" will be your best friend 😂 it's everywhere. But overall, I've been in Tucson for 12 years. I'm updating my home to sale to move on. Thinking NC. Enjoy life...
SO TRUE LOL. There is a TON of dust! Even when taking a 5 min stroll outside for some sun/exercise, when you get back you HAVE to wash your hands because they feel dirty. SO true. Where in NC are you moving to?
If you need help selling your home in Tucson, I help sellers net 10% more. Would love to discuss that with you, if you're looking for a real estate agent.
@LivingTucsonArizona not yet still updating, I'll keep you in mind. I normally would only work with a realtor who is knowledgeable of pearl certificates.
Florida schools have been great and love the education I got there so many magnets and IB schools and lots of schools with Stellar sport programs all at the public school level - the ranks from the magnet schools improved overall count imo and most high schools have magnet programs now and the college opportunities and acceptance are high based on the extra curricular combo to magnets
I been here 12 years and Tucson is better than Milwaukee where I grew up at but you're right about poverty and the police 🚓🚓🚨🚨 and how folks drive down here a driver killed a motorcycle 🏍️ driver right by my job
Hey Major, I grew up before Silicon Valley was Silicon Valley. In the Army, I lived in Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Virginia, and Florida. California has lane splitting also. They run red lights all the time here in Monterey. Also, people change lanes without looking. Been to Tucson and it is no worse than other parts of the country. My best friend was at Davis Monthan for Customs for several years. BTW which agency did you work for? After I retired from the Army I spent 4 years with CBP before going to work for the Navy in Monterey.
I was a Special Agent for the Air Force Office of Special Investigations for a decade. I've lived in several states too, I'm glad your experience when you were in Tucson was different! Thanks for your service! Monterey is so beautiful.
Drivers here are off their freaking meds. I had to drive Uber for a bit last year and I was scared to be on our roads so much. You have to be a very defensive driver in this town. Everything you said about that is on point. I always check both ways at the intersection after my red light to be sure someone isn’t zooming through it. I’m frequently thankful I do.
I'm so glad you check both ways. It can be scary driving in Tucson! Being a defensive driver, like you said, is so so important. Waiting at least 2 seconds after the light turns green can save your life, and i'm glad you're doing that
@@LivingTucsonArizona Defensive driving 100%! That was part of the reason I quit, but it was a transition period while I was leaving the restaurant industry to become a massage therapist ☺️ Stay safe! Im glad your wife quit riding! Smart choice.
Tucson schools have a large diversity in achievement. Some schools do not have a single student who speaks English or is from the United States. Those schools perform poorly while other schools have white native populations and their schools all have A+ ratings and are some of the top in the nation. So...schools in Tucson can be as good or bad as you choose.
Answer 1. I have $$$, 2. No children in school. If you do send to private schools. Public schools suck all over the country, 3. Motorcycles riders without helmets, it is their choice. Not your problem., 4. Stay out of the hood...Pretty weak reasons....You just described all big cities....
@@LivingTucsonArizona don't talk about sex with children seems reasonable . It's about not talking about sexual orientation until kids are in 5th grade. Seems pretty logical to me. The fact people want to talk to 9 year olds about that stuff is weird.
You have to be kidding, no helmet law? Even without a helmet law I would always wear a helmet. I would always assume other drivers do not see me on a motorcycle or bicycle. It is your life. It is not just older people, it is texting, and driving while on the cell phone that are really dangerous. How far is it from Tucson to the wild west 100, 50, 20, 5 or just out of town? It is not that far to OK Corral? I do not believe Tucson and Arizona is that crazy or lawless. However, keep you hand gun handy.

I'm from Sd...believe me this story is laughable but shes entitled to her opinion. She should leave if it's so bad and being a realtor I think shes telling a biased story for sure...just like nasty shitty, sunny southeast, even chula wanna the south part is not the safest area.
It definitely can be. On a study done by the FBI on violent crimes, Tucson ranks higher than cities such as San Diego and Portland, but less dangerous than Albuquerque
AZ also won't take driver's license away from dementia pashents which is why u see so many people driving on the wrong side of the road 😂 at least in pima county especially in green valley
OK, so now that you put the kibosh on Tucson, what other areas are you covering? So that we can do our research before even considering where to buy and reach out?
I cover all of Pima County! I highly recommend going on your favorite crime map website (spot crime, crime grade, etc etc) and research school districts! If you'd like to book a call to start the process, book a call here: bit.ly/buyerrr
@@LivingTucsonArizona put out the zip codes you cover within Pima County so we can narrow down the search…why waste either of our time before we reach out to you? Most crimes aren’t reported so…
When I was in Wisconsin, I would totally ride without a helmet. In Tucson? Hell no. I'm tempted to wear one in my car because of how bad the drivers are. And it's ALL demographics. Young, old, all ethnicities, ducking EVERYONE.
AGREED. so so scary here. that's also likely why car insurance is higher there! bc of the higher percentage of accidents here compared to other cities.
I love Tucson, but I have an ancesterial bias. One weeks pay for one months stay! We have a baseline for wages but not accommodation. This makes no sense and simply doesn't work. The average lowest rent in 2022, ranged from $1,200 to $1,500 per month in many places. The monthly income, based on the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour for a full-time job of 40 hours per week,,amounts to around $1,256.96 per month before taxes. HUD's Definition of Affordable Housing: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) defines housing as affordable if a household pays no more than 30% of its income on housing costs, including rent or mortgage, utilities, and insurance. This cannot be done in todays rental market. We need to mandate that all new multifamily complexes include a percentage of baseline units (300 Sq Ft) that can ONLY rent for 40 hours net pay at minimum wage. Eligibility of these units would be capped. When the persons income exceeds +X% (determined by local authority) of minimum wage they are expected to move on to a market rate unit. This will eliminate the need to subsidize market rate units and create a viable option for those on fixed incomes as well.

I'm from Sd...believe me this story is laughable but shes entitled to her opinion. She should leave if it's so bad and being a realtor I think shes telling a biased story for sure...just like nasty shitty, sunny southeast, even chula wanna the south part is not the safest area.
Tucson is a very violent city to live in
It definitely can be. On a study done by the FBI on violent crimes, Tucson ranks higher than cities such as San Diego and Portland, but less dangerous than Albuquerque
AZ also won't take driver's license away from dementia pashents which is why u see so many people driving on the wrong side of the road 😂 at least in pima county especially in green valley
I can absolutely see this happening! That's freaking Scary!!
OK, so now that you put the kibosh on Tucson, what other areas are you covering? So that we can do our research before even considering where to buy and reach out?
I cover all of Pima County! I highly recommend going on your favorite crime map website (spot crime, crime grade, etc etc) and research school districts! If you'd like to book a call to start the process, book a call here: bit.ly/buyerrr
when are you considering making the purchase?

@@LivingTucsonArizonaI get the realtor’s creed not to steer so throw out some zip codes
@@LivingTucsonArizona put out the zip codes you cover within Pima County so we can narrow down the search…why waste either of our time before we reach out to you? Most crimes aren’t reported so…
When I was in Wisconsin, I would totally ride without a helmet. In Tucson? Hell no. I'm tempted to wear one in my car because of how bad the drivers are. And it's ALL demographics. Young, old, all ethnicities, ducking EVERYONE.
AGREED. so so scary here. that's also likely why car insurance is higher there! bc of the higher percentage of accidents here compared to other cities.
I'm glad you're protecting your head now!!
I almost stopped watching video when you said in Florida you can't say "gay". Now that's stupid.
Thanks for continuing to watch the video, Cate! What are your thoughts on the don't say gay bill?
I love Tucson, but I have an ancesterial bias.
One weeks pay for one months stay!
We have a baseline for wages but not accommodation.
This makes no sense and simply doesn't work.
The average lowest rent in 2022, ranged from $1,200 to $1,500 per month in many places.
The monthly income, based on the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour for a full-time job of 40 hours per week,,amounts to around $1,256.96 per month before taxes.
HUD's Definition of Affordable Housing: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) defines housing as affordable if a household pays no more than 30% of its income on housing costs, including rent or mortgage, utilities, and insurance.
This cannot be done in todays rental market.
We need to mandate that all new multifamily complexes include a percentage of baseline units (300 Sq Ft) that can ONLY rent for 40 hours net pay at minimum wage.
Eligibility of these units would be capped.
When the persons income exceeds +X% (determined by local authority) of minimum wage they are expected to move on to a market rate unit.
This will eliminate the need to subsidize market rate units and create a viable option for those on fixed incomes as well.
You’re GORGEOUS!😘🥰😍💋
Dude, stop. She said she is married to another female. She doesn't like man, plus when God comes; you know where she is going.
“You can’t say gay in Florida”. Definitely no gay people in South Florida.
Many are leaving unfortunately
Stop trashing Tucson chairforce, don't like it here, then leave, simple.
Chris Mineburg, I noticed you live in 3740 S Serena Ln, Tucson, AZ 85730 and I’m sure you have at least $150k of equity. Congrats! I haven’t run a full report on your property, but congrats on getting a property in 2018 for $156k!
Thank you for the comment and thank you for acknowledging my decade of active duty!
Did you serve? If so, for how long?
@@LivingTucsonArizona that's what we do, post people's info on public comments? You claim you were law enforcement at some point, and an officer in the airforce, how do you think your buddies would feel about you doxing vets? I spent 6 years in the army and 15 months in iraq during the surge, hence the chairforce comment, not that it's any of you're business chairforce, but I'm also service connected disabled, thanks for asking. My point is, your stupid video is nothing but trashing the city I love and obviously live in and was born in, if you hate it here so much, kick rocks and go home.
@@LivingTucsonArizona Hahahaha, good one! I bet he has not slept one minute since you posted your comment!
@@tomlee7956 Thank you for your engagement on my channel! I appreciate you and hope you have an amazing day 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
BS!
Thanks for taking the time to view my video and for your comment! Which part? Let's talk about it 😃
Stop living in delusion everything she said was facts this city is a shithole
She's right on every count, and she could have pointed out some more......problems.
Where did you get 46.6% poverty? According to University of Arizona is 14.9% and according to data usa is 14.9% as well in 2022.
That education list is nt good lol
Can you elaborate?
This city could be turned around if we voted out the democrats.
exaggerated melodramatic presentation, edgy quick edit cuts, and generic stock video clips doom this video......phrases like "ridiculously scary" are clickbait junk......and lagging left-turn arrows in Tucson reduce accidents by 40% (from what I read!)........your Big Four points exist in most cities across the country......
Yo Hank! Thank you so much for taking the time to engage in my content! I hope you have the best day of your life.
would not use you real estate dealings...why would anyone use you..move someplace else if you don't like it here..
Hi Gail Smith, that's a mean comment. I surely wouldn't go on your page to do that to you. I hope you have a great day and an even better year
Wow. Your beautiful !
Simp
@@PublicNuisance2K24 you jealous that I can say to a beautiful women that she is beautiful ! My grandmother always told me to compliment a women if she is beautiful !
@@user-mv7gg7im1k ur mom must be proud
@@user-mv7gg7im1k ur mom must be proud
@@user-mv7gg7im1k yes I am very jealous of you
What's with all the overwhelmingly negative clickbait titles showing up when I look up "Tucson AZ"?
Because Tucson isn't utopia, and I'm not the type of real estate agent that paints rainbows and butterflies to get people to buy. I provide a realistic view.
@@LivingTucsonArizona Fair enough. Appreciate the honesty.
