- Many people are moving to Arizona. In particular to Phoenix Metro. We polled people about what they wish they knew about moving to Arizona in our community. Many of them mentioned the weather and the water as well as knowing Arizona offers much more than just big cities.

Living in Arizona is quite a unique experience because of the vastness that the state offers. From the Sonoran Desert in the south to the high country in the north all the way up towards the Four Corners east and the Grand Canyon in the west. Known as the Grand Canyon state, Arizona is diverse in many ways. The state tree is the Palo Verde, the state cactus is the Saguaro, the state bird is the Cactus wren.

The Latino/Hispanic population is one of the two original groups here, and Arizona WAS Mexico until the Gadsdon Purchase that you heard about. That's why everything has Spanish names as California does. As a white person, I often feel that we are only guests here. ❤ from AZ.
Due to listening to almost every single video that Jeff has ever made- (he helped me immensely in my decision to move to AZ), I have had no surprises. Certainly no bad ones anyway. I started watching his videos in 2019, which lead me to do a 4 day driving tour of the state of AZ with 1 of my sisters. I bought a house there about 14 months later. If you are wondering about anything, go back to his oldest videos & just start watching them all. Since Jeff is mostly positive about AZ, you can also listen to "Living in Arizona" (Sam), who is more negative about AZ, to hear the other side a little bit. None of Sam's "negatives" were super negative to me, so weighing the pros & cons, I made the move & I love Arizona. Arizona is the 5th state that I have lived in so far in my life. Life is an adventure. If you are considering a move, learn as much as you can about what is important to you, visit a few times, & make your decision. Good luck!
Very good thinking,
And, very good advice.
Also, when you find a good
house, stay, and make it
a HOME.
"HOME SWEET HOME".
"A ROLLING STONE,
GATHERS NO MOSS".
Yes, Arizona, is very nice.
I hope I like it I will take a visit soon. I want a new scenery for a fresh start.
AZ has tremendous law enforcement. They are more discreet and try to blend in hidden places to catch speeders and driving under the influence drivers. Big urban cities are used to seeing lots of “marked cars” as a deterrent. In AZ they try really hard to blend in. Believe it when anything goes down law enforcement will show up in pickup trucks - mustangs- work trucks fitted etc in minutes. From everywhere. You’ll be like where did they all come from .
So true! Visited a couple of weeks ago and saw a badass Jeep Wrangler unmarked police car 🤣I was super impressed. And I also didn’t see any police cars except maybe on a highway when someone drove in an HOV lane solo lol
Not in Tucson
I’m not sure how I feel about that, on the one hand I am glad that it keeps drunk drivers at bay, however I personally feel that cops should be visible so that way if people need help they don’t feel intimidated approaching them, And when you create a stealth police force then it makes people paranoid and scared to trust or approach cops
@@AslanKyoya1776 I hear you. They still have marked cars on local streets. Just not outrageous amounts like in other big urban cities that look and feel like your under siege
Watching this interesting video, now I understand why people move to Southern California! seems that Arizona is a big boring state! Speaking about PD, we in Burbank have one of the best PD! no one masses with Burbank PD.
We are planning on moving out there this summer. Most of these complaints are from people that clearly have not done their homework. Your videos are informative and helpful. Heat, critters, taxes, cost of living, commuting, etc.... We're aware and preparing. The unexpected heat complaint kills me!! I mean really??!!
Shawn, you're probably already here but... This warning is for you and anyone else coming to the desert. Do some homework including pics but learn about Cholla Cactus. They've got nicknames like Jumping Cholla, Teddybear Cholla, etc. They don't really jump but the little fluffy balls will stick to your skin, through your pants or tennis shoes and the reverse barbs hurt a lot pulling them out. All you have to do is barely touch them and they ATTACK you. Staw away from them, lol.
@@StillAProudAmerican-ll2yc yes, already here and duely noted. 😊
If it’s so hot why do all these people move here. If you make it in your first year you will be fine.
You remind me that I read an online review of a fried chicken restaurant here (Lucky WIshbone) where the reviewer claimed the chicken was greasy. Really, who would have thought fried chicken could be greasy...? Hope you adjusted well, I sit on my patio when it's 95 and sip tea and enjoy the spring like feel.
What you need to know is that Arizona is in the midst of a 20 year drought and water shortage. Our water is transported over 300 miles from the Colorado River and is shared by 7 other states and Mexico (some are also experiencing droughts.) They divvied our water rights in a wet year, so there isn't enough for everyone now. To make it worse, we have state legislators and a governor who are weakening our water protections. Rep. Gail Griffen (District 14) is a realtor who chairs the Natural Resources, Energy and Water committee. She initiated several bad bills that weakened water protections so she can profit from development that would destroy the San Pedro River. So, if you are coming to Arizona, please, help us conserve water. Don't put in grass or a pool. Put in a cistern (water barrel) to use rainwater on drought tolerant native trees and plants.
I have seen people from California freak out when they see someone exercising their open-carry right. I tried explaining to them if they think that is scary there is probably 15% of the people in the Safeway we were at are probably carrying concealed
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! LOL
Yep.
I think more are concealed carry
Actually I know
This native born, raised, raised my own children and got out at 50 years young practiced carrying my Glock 22 immediately!
No one carrying "scared" my ass! I would just compare sizes and loved to finally be able to say "MINE IS BIGGER THAN YOURS" after all these years. Especially with Law Enforcement personel
Left California moved back to Home state Michigan 2020. Son lives in AZ I can visit in winters.
I could not live there.. I do love the Cactus and superstition mts. Love Sedona Grand Canyon . Great place to visit...But Thankful I am back on Michigan with our beauty and the Great Lakes. 👍
Same here
Been in Tucson 31 years, hike regularly. I’ve seen a rattlesnake twice.
Actually it's easy to avoid the worst of the triple digit temps by moving to a higher elevation, where it's often 10-15 degrees cooler than the surrounding desert lowlands. Of course the winters can also be a tad bit chillier, but have found that around 3,000 to 4,000 ft. elevation tends to be a good 'sweet spot'..
like Kingman,where imoved
I think Utah is a great alternative. Still plenty of sunshine but higher elevation it's cooler
I paid more for heat in Massachusetts than I do for A/C in Tucson.
Hi Jef! Love your channel. ♥️ Thank you so kuch for the priceless information you provide! My Daughter bought a home in Prescott Valley and she and my Granddaughter are now in the process of settling in. They love it and Say the prople there are very kind, friendly and helpful. I am still stuck in California forr a few more weeks but look forward to being a new resident of Northern Arizona! ♥️🌵⛈️🌡️🌞
My daughter just rented a house in Prescott Valley! Her and her husband also bought a piece of land there, but it will be a while until they can build. He will have to stay behind in CA for a couple of years until he can retire at age 50. They want us to move over as well, but we can't afford the Prescott housing prices so I guess we will be stuck in CA. Looking forward to visiting them lots!
LOVE living in Arizona!!!!
Thank you for your service. We greatly appreciate your service.
Great video! Lots of tiny details about living in Arizona. I came here like 10 years ago from a different country. But absolutely loved it. If you really want to live your life and. Enjoy every moment, this is the place. People are so nice even though I'm a foreigner! Yes I know there are bad and good people everywhere but I never had any trouble with anyone. Just know this whatever you do at the end of the day you still have some time for yourself and family!
Great talk here. I moved to AZ 10 yrs ago from Ohio. And I stay completely out of the politics. I live in Surprise and love it. We brought a beautiful home.Just remember, July thru Sept can sometime be very uncomfortable weather wise. Once you have been here for a couple of years, you don't count June. It gets extremely hot. But I'll take those 3 months over 6 to 7 months cold weather any day. Learn AZ laws and give yourselves a couple of yrs to adjust. Not sure I would move here if my kids were not already grown. I've heard from my neighbors the school system is not quite up to par. Other than that, People are about the same as they are everywhere. Give respect..you get it.
Michael, a few months ago there were 30 consecutive days of triple digits in the Valley (if you remember). 10 years ago my wife and I lived in Scottsdale for 10 years. Moved back to CA 10 years ago be closer to aging parents. We would consider a move back to AZ but the choices would be in the Prescott/Prescott Valley area or Oracle AZ to be out of the heat dome. One parent has passed and we just moved my 95 year old father-in-law into a Independent Living Community. Time will tell what we will do. Say what you want about CA, the weather just can't be beaten though. We live in a Sacramento suburb. 1 /12 hours to Tahoe, less than 2 hours to SF (where we lived many years go). No kids.
Had my fill of Cali. I lived in the Livermore/Pleasanton area for 6 years. Lots to do though. The heat here in AZ no longer bothers me. I mean a 3 bedroom/2 bath 1700 sq ft home for 1100 a month including insurance is hard to beat. Can't even get a room in CA for that. AC bill gets a little high for 3 months. That fine also out here. You gotta do what's best for you and your family. My sister sold her place in San Jose for like 1.8 mil and moved out here. She's adjusting nicely. Good luck to you.
I wish I knew what 116 felt like before I moved here. It's so hot.
Oppressively so.
So is -30 degrees. I’d rather be. Hot than cold.
80°F and high humidity is worse.
It’s a dry heat. I would never live anywhere with high humidity.
Who's fault is that?
Great video Jeff, so much great information for all of us who at sometime want to move to Arizona. My plan is to move to Arizona and then travel all over the West in a Class-C motorhome and use the home as a base station to launch out from. I grew up in the California desert and love the heat but also love the mountains. Thanks again!!
2% of 55+ mobile parks in AZ you can own the RV lot you buy. There is your affordable Basecamp. You're welcome.
The biggest problem I have with the new housing in Tucson is there’s no way I’m paying that much for a home that’s only 3’ from the neighbors. Mobile homes are farther apart than the houses their building now.
I moved to Casa Grande from the PNW to be closer to my wife's parents this past August. We bought a new home and so far we love it. Your videos are very helpful, thank you!
How you liking casa grande so far 🤔? I'm really thinking about buying my first home there with my family
I was surprised at the lack of law enforcement, too! I am from Kansas City, MO and more often than not you would see at least 1 cop while driving around. I go weeks and weeks here without seeing one. Even here in Maricopa, which is small, I rarely see any
A lot of undercover in undercover cars...
@@standdown4929 good to know. A little unnerving never seeing any police.
@@Cat-rr5fv We even have undercover homeless, and undercover drug dealers... everyone is being watched... You will be fine, welcome to Arizona. My family has been here since 1870... Get a gun, go camping and watch out for mountain lions...
Along the river towns there are state, trooper, tribal, border police,city cops. Great to see
I live in the Tortolita/Oro Valley area. Cops everywhere! 3 just on my street. Can't drive a full mile without seeing a cop or getting pulled over by one for something stupid. The cops here are mean too! They even have the right to jam a needle in your arm and take blood while you're sitting on the side of a dusty road. They lock people in hot cop cars for hours at a time with no water, no air blowing, and the windows up. Don't believe me ? Google how many police dogs die every year because their cop owners accidentally leave them in a hot car for too long , Sometimes OVER NIGHT or OR FOR MULTIPLE DAYS! If that's still not enough, the laws are corrupt and the cop who arrests the most people by the end of the year gets a cash bonus! If you're pulled over for driving while intoxicated but you blow a 0.00 and your side of the road blood test comes back clean your STILL getting a DUI & GOING TO JAIL!!! that's because MADD also gives out a cash prize to the cop in each state who hands out the most DUIs. Doesn't matter that you blew a zero & your blood was clean. In Arizona the police decide who's intoxicated no matter what the proof says. It's 100% percent up to the police.
Nothing is going to stop me from moving to Tucson. I live in the Midwest, freezing to death. I hate it.
Same here. I hate when the evil white stuff falls from the sky. I would like to be warmer than about 3 months out of the year
ever been nailed by a bark scorpion?
Good luck the healthcare is horrible
Sales tax is everywhere except for in Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire , Alaska and Oregon. States with no Personal Sales Tax are Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming.
Arizona is on a roll!
Sorry , taxes do not go down with smaller government. Red team/blue team… it’s irrelevant they BOTH always manage to find new ways to tax the lower and middle class
We are taxed by income tax and state taxed...
We are all red here!!!
AZ has really nice places, it just depends where you'll live. 100% recomended
In Ohio, as soon as you cross the border from Indiana, the State Police seem to be stationed at every mile marker. I was shocked when I first saw that.
duhh
Midwest has an insane amount of cops.
@@GLRYB2GD yahh but.. the moment that blizzard blows in it's a good thing,,, although swear Chicago gonna be the start of 1984
Don't break the law and you won't have any problems. Simple
Thank u for all of this great info. Spent a month with my sister near Phoenix. Did take note how fast drivers are and how congested traffic is. Enjoyed the sun however in November. Beautiful state. Checked out Sedona and had the best Margarita ever there.
Jerome Hotel most haunted in the US. The old surgery suite is the most haunted room pay to sleep in. Attributed to number of deaths that occurred. Surgery was often salvage effort due to mining accidents. Most would have died anyways.
The only complaints I have would be the number of traffic accidents here and the homelessness. I have never seen so many car fatalities and accidents. The worst and rudest drivers EVER. The heats not bad because you’re mostly inside and you definitely need a car but Ubers are everywhere just be prepared to spend money. Personally, I have found people to be very friendly here but like anywhere on this planet, there’s always an asshole that pops up and you just have to ignore him/her and keep moving. Rents are very high and if you get sick be prepared for long waits in the ER. Find a good primary care asap. Wear plenty of moisturizer and drink water. Other than that, I love Arizona but because of the extreme heat I probably will be leaving by the end of the year. Oh, the taxes here are insane.
What about Utah?
Im thinking of moving to AZ.
Yes everything is pretty spread out which is nice in a way
Taxes here in Phoenix plus state are high but higher still in Minnesota and northern VA. You have to move 50-60 miles outside of DC to find a 500K home- public transit can’t keep up with the demand so car is mandatory.
Of every state I've ever lived in Arizona is hands down the best state I've ever lived in. And as for the heat and taxes...taxes are high everywhere for one...and second there are hotter locations in California. Especially Palm Springs and the Mojave Desert/Death Valley areas where temps on a daily basis in the summer are well over 120° each day. So if you can't take the heat don't come. And water is scarce and is a precious commodity in the desert...so one must absolutely know how to conserve water and make it stretch. If you can't or won't do any of this don't come here. And if you do come here leave ignorant politics behind you. People in Arizona are decent for the most part and kinder than most states. You have ignorant violent criminals everywhere, but the majority of people are great people. I'll never leave Arizona again. I found my piece of heaven out in the middle of nowhere and I'll never leave. ROCK ON ARIZONIANS!!!!
Great analysis! Phoenix has been recognized multiple times as the Friendliest City in America.
These scumbags will still come here and vote blue, dont fool yourself
Arizona is awesome as long as you're not in the hood!
I found my piece of heaven in the middle of absolutely nowhere and this is where I will stay forever. It's amazing. I'm not a city girl.
Well said.
I wish people would stop moving here, born and raised in AZ and now it's too expensive for me to live in my home state because of the Californians and New Yorkers with their cash offers. Our infrastructure can't handle you, we're full.
well dang man uncool! lol
It’s too expensive in California that’s why people are moving if you think arizona is expensive California is a lot worse
@@malena7362That's why they come here
You can build and run a lot of houses for all that water being used to irrigate land in Pinal county.
Why never get any love to Sierra Vista area. One of my favorite areas in AZ carr canyon, Brown Canyon, Montezumas pass,,Ketchner caverns. huachuca Mntns. And Chiricahua Mntns. All in that SV area. And there is more. It’s a a small military base town. But it’s one of my favorite places in AZ
Local SoCal, just bought a parcel of raw land to develop and transition to AZ within the next 5 yrs. Cannot believe costs compared to CA. We will be rent free, off grid with no utility payments, and keep our home in CA as a rental. Besides the wildlife in AZ, we can't wait for a simpler lifestyle. Thank you for all your info!
Inflation in my county is the highest in the nation right now. 7% , gas is currently high $4, utilities are horribly high ($500-800 in summer is not unusual if you don't have solar), just to compare.
Wait until you see the savings for auto registration. I registered my 04 truck for 5 years for $68. No smog. Gas at my Ca house is $5:89. Gas at my AZ home is $4:10. You do the math.
There's more reasons for not needing basements and having one story homes -- You don't need deep foundations because there is no need to get below the frost line, so no need to dig deep (and the cost is avoided too). Also land is still cheap here and it's cheaper to build a single story home, less structure, no stairs. The newest homes are tending to be two story because land is getting more expensive and people want big houses)... Finally in the midwest basements evolved from insulated root cellars used to store things to be the place where you keep the coal pile and the furnace. My house uses a heat pump, which is mounted on the roof; none of the interior space is taken up with a furnace; in most houses that do have them they take up one small closet.
Absolutely with the soft water but still there’s a lot of chemicals in those waters just find out how many chemicals are in water around the state s
As not a bad place just getting crazy expensive. There’s so much to see here and you can visit New Mexico tx ca nv writhing 3-5 hrs. If you get out and do things there’s too much to see and do
CRAZY inflation!
Thanks Biden
Some people just need something to bitch about..
This is a fun conversation. AZ is top on our list to retire, (just a few years away), but TX just has so many advantages re: taxes and cost-of-living.
What about Utah?
@@vinnie8495 : I’ll have to check into it. I love the state.
Property taxes extremely high in TX. Weather quite extreme. May not be a problem for you if you high humidity at your current locale. You are required to have a truck if you choose to move to TX. Ha!
you are doing a great job sir. I will look for you when I relocate to Arizona soon
I miss Gold Canyon but the prices have risen.
Oh, so many comments:
In warm climates, heat rises as you know. And if you did your homework, you know just how hot it can get! So this is why we only built low to the ground, not these multi-level projects that seem to be allowed to be built here now.
Snowbirds have been coming here for-ever! They may drive slowly (they're getting better😂), but they have never been a problem, and they do spend money while they are here.
Next. Do not let 'fluffy' run in the backyard alone if you're living out in the desert... Desert Hawks have been known to grab small pets.
Yes. We have heavy urban sprawl and increasing costs as everyone moves here. The building will cause an increase in temperature.
With love from the Sonoran Desert.
❤
cool channel, greetings from Turkey. I wanna move to Az
34:10 All of the F-14's were flown to Davis-Monthan to be destroyed back in 2006.
If they aren't a museum piece, or any of the ones we sold to Iran, then they've been shredded and sold as scrap.
I was an F-14B/B+ maintainer in the Navy (NEC 8845) specializing in Avionics and I was also a Plane Captain for a while.
Wait... NEWS FLASH: "It's COLD in Alaska!" Should I write that down.
HAHA Breaking News!
I wish I knew that before I moved there. Darn it
That's a joke
Great video! Very informative. I am a bit shocked that considering it is such a dry area people seem to have a lot of grass… And then someone wrote that the snowbirds use up you precious water??? We love the US, and we have travelled extensively there and so far always had great experiences there. We will be ‘snowbirding’ somewhere cooler, I can’t do all the heat.
People pressure!!!
Causes land to go up
in value.
Arizona is beautiful we moved from Iowa and stayed for 17 years. Before I moved away it became hotter than previous years like 117 at night.
The Arizona government broke up my entire young family and my young family was forced to move from our newly constructed rental home during a time when we could have easily bought the home back in 2008 before the recession. Shortly after our forced removal the same government broke up my family. 16 years later it is still a nightmare. That same home we lived in and were the 1st tenants of and made all rental payments on time the bank forced us to move. The same home is now worth 4 times the amount it was when they made my young family move. I just gave birth to a baby and my other children were in elementary school and I am a Tax Accountant so it was during the main individual tax season and I was working remote. The government made us move between 2-2008 to 4-2008 and I just had my newborn 2-2008 and had stay at home children, elementary school child, middle school child and high school children. I also always had decent net worth and continuously elevating my educational credentials and skills for the betterment of my children. Arizona is good and bad.
Tiffany & Associ. Inc., first of all, it's not nor has it ever been 117 at night. Second of all, how did the government split up your family? Having to move doesn't force a family split.
I grew up in Las Vegas Nevada. Back then it was only 50-60 k people. So much has changed in LV and Phoenix. Not sure for the better. I love being in the desert but it’s the nights I miss the most. Being retired now I’m not interested in living in a large city anymore for multiple reasons.
FYI reclaimed water isn’t fertilizer. Lots of LDS in LV to. I’m not Mormon but I’m okay with much of the life choices. Not so much with the religion.
White roofs and roads would help big time . Solar panels on your roofs would help considering all the 🌞
There are no $100 k homes in Central Phoenix....even in some of the worst neighborhoods. There's nothing affordable here anymore.
I moved from Michigan to Buckeye. Five years ago only because of my husband’s health. It’s great for him I hate the summers love October to June. I am shocked at the health care cost and shocked the school system has such high cost for health insurance. I can’t add my husband on health care it cost 1,200 every two weeks. I don’t even make that much.
I would be a 3 time transplant from the East coast
Right it’s around the rents a write up everything is right up there with everything and it cost an arm and a leg to live anywhere in the world now it’s just a metaphor of the arm and a leg
Chandler is awesome
You're right we're full just too many people
I lived in Phoenix Glendale and Maricopa in 2018 and I'm looking to relocate next month but I agree ....coming from Ohio there are way less police officers in the Phoenix Arizona area than in Ohio. I Saw maybe 10 police cars during my 8 month living out there
My 1st time watching your channel. Very interesting. I just subscribed!
Great 👍 video
You sound like the original owner of the Altcoin Buzz channel. Is that you? AZ is one of my choices to move to when I retire in 8 long years 🙃. I appreciate your content.
Hello from Maryland soon to be Arizona.
Heating in New Hampshire is as bad, if not worse, than cooling in AZ summer. My last bill was $647!!
Love the merchandise I want Phoenix t shirts and sweatshirt hoodies
Great video Jeff thanks mention my comment. Do a clothing line
I moved here from LA/Orange County, CA and didn’t know how politically blue the State is becoming.
Super disappointed in that.
Also, having grown up in San Diego County, I can’t believe how bad Mexican food can be here.
thank.you for sharing
There is actually two ways out of Jerome!
yes the summer time is no joke 🔥🥵 as hell
I live in Salida Co. I moved here back in 1993 from Northern Wisconsin. Salida is in the ski area so we have the ski bums in winter and the Texans (sorry guys) in the summer. We deal with them the best we can. Their driving is the worst tho. We are looking to relocate in AZ in the next year or two for retirement. So, used to the "critters" in Colorado 4 legged and 2. We have a bad influx of homeless on drugs being bussed into our small town. More people doing open carry now. So thats not a big deal. Husband is a hunter and has plenty of things to "pack". I carry a taser. ha! We also have had our own custom home building business and do know the building industry. Colorado is unwarranted in its extreme hike in prices. I mean $750+ a square foot for some of the "builders" is just rapping people. But hey, if they are dumb enough to pay that guess its their decision. Just stupid and not informed...or more money then brains is what we say...ha
00 don’t forget about the service charges
Retired in place
If you put your AC at 72 degrees you better be rich. Lol. Snow birds bring a lot of money to spend in our economy so stop the hate of snowbirds. Yes the heat is bad but it’s only max 4 months. It’s not Florida where it’s warm 10 months out of 12. And the change in temperature and lack of humidity is something people from east coast need to get acclimated to. I love the lack of humidity.
We'll said. I set my temp to 82 with fans. Bill for summer months average $175.
Let's see it's hot in the summertime cooler in the evening and there are things out here that can kill you kind of like the where I'm moving from but thank you anyhow
GA here.....housing prices, buy, rent, availability...seems to b same everywhere. Up up up. Still better to buy though. Rents here for decent 3/2 is now 2 grand & up. Sometimes u see an albatross for 1800. Can't afford that so I'm staying put. Thinking other homeowners are staying put for this reason too. Just turned down ppl that knocked on my door. Hope they 4give me! Just couldn't afford to move 😔
As a visitor, I liked Kingman & St John's areas in AZ.
We are allowed to have differing viewpoints. Chill out, ppl. 😊
My daughter instead of I, she still working with EoS from Long Beach.
If I knew more about Arizona I would have never moved here now I'm trying to save back up so I can Leave!!
I never heard of the term "Snow birds" until this video.
omg lol
WOW! What rock do you live under?
I live in Flagstaff and unless you are buying a house I wouldn’t recommend I have lived here six years but honestly, even if I did buy a house I would not settle in Flagstaff unless you just really really really wanna live in Arizona but you don’t wanna live in Phoenix, but in that case, you better have a car and you better be OK with commute
Lol, I’ll be a snowbird. However, I’m 48. Hey, I don’t mind paying extra out of state taxes. Pass it state wide.
I live in a ski town up north. People use our small town too.
The financial market has been a really tough one this past months, but I watched an interview on CNBC where the anchor kept mentioning "...CATELYN MORRIS...". This prompted me to get in touch with her, and from October 2021 till now we have been working together, and I can now boast of $15k in my trading portfolio
What kinds of investments do you make. I totally agree with you. I have a lump sum right now doing next to nothing in a savings account. but it's hard for me to take part in the market right now due to the fulltime nature of my job. it will be way to stressful to combine so i don't even think about-facing it
I earned more this year because I have been investing while working at the same time. I invested through Mrs Catelyn Morris, same woman that the anchor kept mentioning on CNBC, and made multiple of my start up capital within three months . She lives here in the USA and she is licensed.
Cobre Kaii
Everything is rising in price because the people from California are moving into your state wherever they go the cost-of-living will rise
Talk about how high it cost for health insurance. Working for the schools the health insurance cost way too much. You do not get good pay in AZ schools.
I used to live in Tucson
"drive differently", know an adverb from an adjective.
Illinois has some of the highest taxes but they still have toll roads
Can we discuss the hunting in Arizona sometime soon
AZ game and fish.
Thanks for providing these informational videos. Another thing I'd add people may want to know...they better be able to finance over a million if they want to live in the houses and neighborhoods you're showing, especially in the first 2 minutes of this video. I'm mostly seeing shanties and double wides in disheveled neighborhoods around Phoenix and Tucson up to the 350k range, the only exception being the 55+ neighborhoods.
And another question regarding all the disheveled neighborhoods...they look like 3rd world countries from above. Why do so many people have so many cars and junk in their tiny yards??? My post probably seems negative, but I'm genuinely curious as I've been looking at listings hoping to move to AZ.
You'll have to look in the 400K plus price range to get "suburbia". Yes, it's expensive.
Happiness isn't cheap. Or you can save some money and move next to the guy with 3 cars on jack stands
Nice cobre light
Law Enforcement is getting worst. In Tempe they publicly stopped hiring. There is less than 200 officers in the city of Tempe. Tempe is 65% democrat.
65 percent democratic. There's your problem
I left Arizona as soon as I could. Not sure why anyone would move there by choice.
@@RUclipsCX9 Is that what it is? Always wondered. It’s a sweltering beige cultural wasteland. Just makes very little sense.
@@RUclipsCX9 Well, call me odd but I'll take my little Vermont college town, the winters and a sane, literate population.
@malvolio01 not much sun in Vermont
Have you done any videos on Madera Canyon? I'm a birdwatcher and want to visit there. Thanks for all these great AZ videos.
Hey watch out for them photo radar guns 💪…LOL.. started those when I lived there me in 80s and we got three tickets in the mail for one day of speeding…So speeding is no joke there and watch your butt in a school zone speeding it’s also harsh…
what I would tell anyone better have money if you're poor working folk forget it you're not going to rent a house or buy one for cheep coming from east I've found it expensive.
Moved here from longtime in Northern VA near DC, other half of my life in Minneapolis, MN.
Things I’d wish I’d known:
1- water crisis getting worse
2- extreme heat- I love heat, being from Minnesota originally, but really?????? This will be unlivable in my daughter’s future…… yikes!
3- no culture- and I know culture from both Minneapolis and Washington DC area!!!!!!!
4- rude drivers in big honking pickups!!!!!!!Also uninsured drivers(!)
5- Differences between climate in Tucson vs Phoenix-3K elevation in Tucson helps
6) dogs and rattlers, plus coyotes- I live right near Lookout Mountain in North Phoenix-a real coyote hangout, very huge mountain!
7) healthcare- other than 3 hospitals plus the Mayo, (and Barrows for neurological needs), which I was NOT impressed by (I’m an RN) it’s a huge area with too little quality………..and the VA here is the dirtiest hospital I’ve ever been in: I’ve worked at 13 over the years half older than the VA(!) ………..
8) did I say there’s no culture?????????
Absolutely no culture. When I was 14, my parents uprooted us and we moved from the Charlotte area to PHX. It was a huge and horrible culture shock. Charlotte isn't DC but there was still much more culture there than in PHX in the early to mid 90s and I'd have to imagine there still is.
Also, on top of it, the landscape is so barren, unappealing and uninviting. In our area outside of Charlotte, we had wooded area, grassy fields and a nice creek running behind the house. In Phx, we had a tiny fenced yard that was even tinier because of the space the pool took up (granted, the pool was nice... and necessary 4 months of the year. But it still didn't make up fo the verdant landscape we had in NC.)
On top of that, when you leave PHX, there's no place to go. Sure, you have Sedona and Flagstaff, which are great. But those become exhausted quickly. The closest city is... what? Tucson? Give me a break.
And finally, as you touched on, the lack of water. It becomes immediately obvious that you're smack dab in the middle of a barren wasteland and that this place could absolutely not have existed - let alone thrived - 100 plus yrs ago.
Oh, and the people are just downright odd. And, on top of being odd, they're incredibly shallow and everything is surface level. It's almost as if they're aspiring to be like L.A..
I could not wait to get out of there and go off to college as far away as possible when I turned 18. I left in '97, haven't returned and have no desire to. Awful place.
No culture cause there's more non Arizonians here than Arizonians.
No culture I agree. Just strip malls and pavement.
Go back home if it's sooo bad

Love the Safford footage but it Looks like you passed through at sunset after they rolled up all the sidewalks.
