I remember as a kid moving from AZ to NC and being waaay far behind for my educational level. Our schools have always been bad. Homeschooling out here is better from others experiences . The state through a program will pay for everything including field trips other classes etc.
Hello! Thanks for watching my living in Phoenix videos! I agree, our schools have been and still are far behind the east coast as for amenities and education focuses. I do have many friends that homeschool now and they are very happy. Hopefully Arizona steps it up soon! We do have great private schools though, and montessori. So at least we have that :)
It doesn't seem to prevent people from moving here. Plus, NM, NV and most Southern states are bad too, not to mention some public schools in California, you have to go through a metal detector every day to go to class.
I moved to AZ as a kid with my parents in 1963. Recently left in 2023 (60 years) and moved to Wisconsin. I love it on WI!!! Seasons and colors, not just brown. Winter was cold, but retired so just stay inside on bad days. That's what we do in AZ when heat gets brutal. Phoenix is too big and lost it's charm it has in 60s, 70s and 80s. By 2000, it was just a smaller Los Angeles...all the bad aspects of that city. So far, don't miss AZ at all.
Hi! Thanks for watching my channel on moving to arizona or moving to Phoenix! There are many like you and I agree, having seasons would be so nice! We go up north to Prescott or Flagstaff to get the colors and cool weather when we can. And yes! Our summers are like other states winters. No matter where you live you have time when the weather restricts your life choices. We are getting very large and with that, I do not love all of the aspects it brings. On that note, I do love other things the growth brings though such as employment opportunities and entertainment venues etc. Everything in life is give and take. I am happy you have found your place and I hope you have an amazing retirement! :)
LOL That's why I didn't put hot weather first as it's a very obvious reason. Many people do move to Phoenix for the warmth though, as it feels good on their achy joints.
I would add that Arizona is a "right to work" state, which means extreme, extreme low wages. I would add that friends of mine who still live their say the traffic is terrible compared to past, like traffic has become insane. Finally, I'd add that summers there was rough. Recall it got so hot recently that the Phx airport closed because it was too hot for the airplanes to take off / land.
Unless you’re in SoCal, the weather isn’t perfect. Tired of people complaining about 3 months of heat while living in the Midwest dealing with 6 months of cold weather.
Hi! You mention many good things for sure! The "right to work" can go both ways though. It does help small businesses fire terrible employees and it also helps truly magnificent employees gain larger pay raises. So I think that depends on which side you are on. Traffic, to me, is the same as always. We are a growing city so more people = more traffic but we are by far one of the best in the nation with infrastructure, so it's not really that bad. Our traffic is SO HEAVENLY compared to LA, Chicago etc. 😂 you know? Summers are rough every year. I did mention that in the video. :) Every year planes have a few days where they can't take off or land as the heat makes the air too thin. I DO believe we are hotter than the 80's and 90's for sure though. But it was also 122 degrees in 1990 here. I think I still have a t-shirt that says "I survived 122!" 😂 I mention the planes and the heat in my summer survival video. It's definitely crazy and you make a good point! Thanks for watching!
@@E_Crypto Yes, very true! There are months of terrible weather pretty much anywhere you live. You just have to choose. Do you want heat or snow, you know? Like I say, you can't shovel sunshine! LOL Thanks for watching! :)
Hello! Thank you for watching my channel on living in Phoenix! Yes! Many are moving to San Tan or Maricopa or Tucson etc in order to have more space and larger homes. I have debated this myself so I totally get it! I hope you find a beautiful home and enjoy the extra space. Sending you good vibes! :)
LOL Hello! Thank you for watching my channel on moving to Arizona! I definitely giggled at your statement as there is nothing more potent than that question in any realm of life. Many who grew up here are saying why not leave so I totally get it!
School vouchers is why we are considering moving back to Phoenix, because public schools always always always suck horribly bad and are dangerous for kids.
Hello! Thanks for watching! School Vouchers in AZ are definitely a hot topic! I know some people that love them and some that hate them. I think it depends on your perspective. I don't think public schools are "dangerous", though. I guess it depends on what you consider dangerous. I have many friends with their children in public schools in Phoenix metro and they feel great about it. I have friends that will only do private though, as well. It depends on your kids needs. Our lack of funding is a real problem and THAT we can all agree on! I hope you move back and love the voucher program! :)
@@SourRita , rich people send their kids to private schools no matter what , middle class go without family vacations to avoid sending their child to you, the poor and lower middle class now have a decent chance of surviving middle school and high school with school choice. Rich libtards don’t want you as a teacher and don’t want your child to mix with their child so they are against school choice too. Every school choice program I have ever scene is income qualified so rich people don’t receive any benefit actually.
Hi! Thanks for watching my videos about living in Phoenix! More people are moving to Arizona VS leaving, you are correct sir! But still, people are indeed leaving Phoenix metro for multiple reasons. All we can hope for is that the new people are just as great as the ones leaving!
In a former marriage, we moved from PHX to rural Colorado. My stepdaughter was in 5th grade at the time. She’d been on the honor roll in PHX. In RURAL Colorado she was so far behind they wanted to put her into special education.
Oh my! That's quite a jump from living in Phoenix! I really do hope Arizona focuses on improving our public education systems. I know people are trying. Thanks for watching!
Hello! Thanks for watching my moving to phoenix arizona channel! I am not totally sure what - 24AC means? But we have a ton of HVAC companies so your unit should be in good shape if you take advantage. :)
Hello! Thank you for watching! Hopefully people who leave are wishing us well. Living in Phoenix is pretty great but I understand it's not for everyone.
Hello! SO, Living in Phoenix does indeed not give us the best access to superior public school systems. We DO have MANY wonderful and amazing teachers out here in Arizona, but they are definitely underpaid and overworked. I am a Phoenix native and attended public schools, but they were a bit better back in the 80's and 90's. My family and friends have been involved in the Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Tempe etc school systems for over 30 years and I can say they are fighting hard for improvements. We are no east coast though and it will take a while to see positive growth. We DO have many wonderful private schools and public montessori schools and the kyrene school district, scottsdale school district and cave creek district are a few that DO excel. I hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
So is the population actually going down? And is it just metro Phoenix, or all the surrounding locations? If I lived in Phoenix and could get the license to build, I put up the biggest shade structure over my home there.
Hello! Thanks for watching my videos about living in Phoenix Arizona! So no, the population is not going down. While many people are moving out of Arizona, more people are moving in. Our population is growing rapidly, though it has slowed down some in the last year or so, but not by much. I am unsure of the population status up north or down south but from what my peers tell me, those areas are still booming. Tucson is more affordable than Phoenix and many people are leaving Phoenix to move to Tucson, it's kinda like our sister city. Up north like Flagstaff and Sedona etc are very expensive, but the weather is cooler and it's really pretty, so many people do like living there as well. Actually, Tucson is cooler than Phoenix as well. :)
First off I only left san diego because I cant afford a home as a single parent. Why would I want to go to a Red State where I can be shot just because I looked at you funny smh....and I have never came across racist folks in my 43 years of living until I moved here in Phoenix🤨 and yes I'm pro choice and belive in democracy so I rather be in a blue state! 💋
Yes. To move to red states and turn them blue too. We've actually got a schedule og who's moving and to which state. It's all scheduled through 2026. Georgia, I'll be there in a couple of years.
We just need to pay our teachers more and show support for public funding. I have multiple friends and family in the education sector and its rough to see them leave to other careers as they are paid terribly and extremely overworked.
@@LivingInPhoenixArizona2024 yes I fully agree! I went to public school for elementary and high school in South Phoenix and I turned just fine. I somewhat understand the private avenue to a point, but public is lot better. Private is for profit, always has been; that's just me.
Hello! Thank you for watching my moving to arizona and living in Phoenix channel! When you ask "WTF am I talking about", I am not sure what you mean? The video clearly explains everything. Please go back and watch from beginning to end again and then I will answer any questions about moving to phoenix or scottsdale that you may have. Thank you!
I am SO sorry to hear you feel that way about people in Arizona! I am from Phoenix and I am often told we are the nicest people. I feel it depends on where you are at in town and what the circumstances are though, but I have always been pretty happy with other people's demeanors out here. I understand some people are a$$holes though and I hope those people move far far away. Thanks for watching my living in Phoenix channel!
It shows up in bar culture. People from other cities understand a bar as a place where one goes to chat not only with friends but also strangers who walk in. In Phoenix, that’s considered weird and threatening, even if there’s no possible pickup scenario in play. In Phoenix you keep to yourself, weirdo. And by the way, go f yourself. That’s the message of Phoenix.
They have done studies that heat makes people angry so I can imagine during the summer, having a run-in with someone already having a bad day will indeed prob set them off , especially if it's 110 degrees out for sure!

Phoenix was at its best as a mid-size farming/manufacturing city. So we should be aiming for the population levels of around 1967.
