Lived on Lemon Street in Tempe from 1990-1992, while going to grad school at ASU. Miss the warm Winters, incredible sunsets, Mill Avenue and Spring Training baseball games.
This video is great but forgot so many great things in Phoenix such as: Barrett Jackson auto show, Waste Management PGA tour, the big lakes, the hot air balloon rides, the mountain hikes galore... Arizona has a ton to do.
Trucker316 I’m going to Phoenix on vacation in April. Never been there yet although I’ve been to other parts of AZ but anyways I’m glad to hear you say that because I was considering going to Tucson or El Paso instead.
One great thing about the valley is its relatively low population density for a city of its size. Everything is so spread out that people tend to be at a distance from you most of the time. That makes it feel safer. The low density/low traffic is super apparent after visiting LA, for eg. I joke that people in Phoenix really value their personal space.
Some people don't like winters that don't last from Oct to late March. The hot season feels very different here due to low humidity. "Dry heat" is very real and you GET USED TO IT. This is what ppl don't get. Not that I need to sell the area. The population is exploding beyond comfort.
Everything is open, we have a governor who understands that shutting down everything including the economy is stupid. If you want to wear a mask, where 3 of them, just don't infringe on our right not to wear them. Stay home and hide under the table if you like just leave US alone.
Great channel, I stay in phoenix to. Sometimes it can be dangerous to stop and help people out here. check out this video and see what I mean. Keep up the great videos.
I’ve never been but based off of what I’ve read they don’t have very good public transportation at all and that you most definitely need a car if not living and working in downtown
What to do in Phoenix: #1 hiking! #2 enjoying 100 degree weather from may until the end of October! #3 hiking ! #4 Drinking! some ppl think the party scene here is like Vegas, well you are in luck cause instead of going to Vegas just party here you'll pay the same price. You can spend 10k on bottle service here too if you are itching to spend your money! #5 museums, we have some of the best museums in the....just kidding I meant to say hiking lol #6 Golfing! especially if you have money to blow or you love 110 degree weather #7 did I mention hiking? You'll realize when you get here everyone loves to mention hiking #8 sporting events, our game tickets are just as expensive or more expensive as any other big market city now. Enjoy paying a ton of money just like you do in LA #9 I hope you enjoy hiking especially with hundreds of other ppl on the mountain with you hoping that you go faster because they are on the 5th run up the mountain, because yep, they have nothing better to do #10 Eating, we have all the fast food chains in the country all here.
But that's hockey. Hockey for some unknown reason is always taking a back seat. Strange considering the lack of controversy in hockey. People still drool over football for some unknown reason
The restaurants downtown were good pre-pandemic. God only knows how many will survive. But here are a few things that prospective visitors should know: Much of the downtown area lacks sufficient parking. Public transportation is dicey. There is quite a homeless problem (mostly drug induced, but certainly not limited to the downtown area since Phoenix has a HUGE population of addicts and insane people). Driving downtown is not easy due to all of the one way streets (you may find your destination only to discover that you have to drive an extra mile, making several turns, just to be able to access it. And the downtown area is not designed for pedestrian traffic like most major cities back east. But if you don't mind driving around in circles in 110 degree heat while being yelled at my insane people and people high on meth, you may enjoy all that downtown Phoenix has to offer. The viewer should note that the video is a bit misleading, too, regarding the neat things that "Phoenix' has to offer. Many of the cool things in Tempe and Scottsdale, two cities that are more pedestrian friendly, are quite far from downtown Phoenix. The Phoenix area is MASSIVE, thanks to urban sprawl. When so many things are packed into this kind of video, a viewer could be led to think that visiting them all would be easy. These things are far apart... and often VERY expensive (at least in comparison to the average wage in Arizona, which is very low).
Tim, looking to possibly move there from dumpster fire Portland. So, the drug problem is horrific there too? maybe i should move to Austin then. Any more insight on this? Is it everywhere or constrainted in only certain parts of the city?
@@AmranShah Hi Amran. Yup, the dumpster fire is here, too. It doesn't seem to matter whether a governnment is Republican or Democrat or whether the state is red, blue or purple. Regarding where the problems are, they are all over the Phoenix metro area, but some areas are much more affected than others. My estimate is that about 80% of Phoenix ranges from very bad to not very bad, and 20% is very nice and pretty expensive relative to Phoenix pay (but maybe not Portland pay). Regarding the suburbs, I think the same is true, but the nice suburbs tend to be east of Phoenix or about 20 miles west of Phoenix. Phoenix metro is literally the drug hub of the nation. Virtually all fentanyl in the country passes through Arizona, and Phoenix is the primary base (I believe) for the Sinaloa drug cartel, which it has been for decades. Back in the 1990s, a Mexican friend asked me to take him to a particular bar to see if his brother was there. We entered the place. The first thing that hit me was the pungent smell of urine. The small bar was packed with Mexican men, and several were shouting offensive words at me in Spanish and laughing. I smiled, pretending not to understand what they were calling me, and when my friend reappeared, we left. A couple of weeks later, I read in the Sunday Arizona Republic that five people were shot at that bar and that it was a frequent meeting place for the cartel. I'm so glad I stood there looking stupidly ignorant of what they were saying. If they knew that I understood some Spanish, they might have killed me. Looking dumb is my gift LOL. I don't like Phoenix. I've lived in Chicago, Montreal, and Ireland - but most of my life has been right here. I much preferred all three of the other places, but Phoenix is really home. It's where my loved ones are, where most of my memories were created, and where my professional network has been. So I stay. And it really isn't that bad if you're willing to lower your standards. I hear LA is much worse than Phoenix (wouldn't know, though). Austin has a pretty good reputation. Probably not relevant or a practical move for you, but I actually LOVED Montreal. It is the most beautiful, most magical place I've ever been (went to school there for two years). Just for fun, you should check out a 12-minute UA-cam video called "The Montreal Metro is a Masterpiece!" And that's just the part of the city that's underground! Hope all that helps!
@@JaimeLopez-bc3fr , The majority of the cooling systems in Phoenix and most of the south west United States is evaporative cooling systems, colloquially known as Swamp Coolers. Air conditioning is almost always phased out because it’s so expensive in electricity.
I'm from South Florida and the people there are very rude so yeah I'm used to it LOL. I find native Arizonans cool but reserved and cliquey. The rude folks here in Phoenix are from California or back East in my experience. Sorry.
great place to visit but you would not want to live there. Out of the fire and into the frying pan. x 8 months a year at 110 degrees go find out for yourself, you will last 6 months.

I watched this in hopes of finding something to like about this hell hole place. I now am a karmic prisoner of the hottest, ugliest most boring place on earth.
AZ is ranked 16 out of the 50 states for fun. Which is not too bad. phoenix is top 10 most fun city, soooo idk what ur saying. Its a much cleaner, a bit more boring, no beaches and hotter weather LA
I just got a job offer in Phoenix. So far I like what I’m seeing
Very beautiful Phoenix Arizona travel experience and useful detailed information congratulations 🙏
I like Andrea!
People complain a lot about this city but it's pretty awesome here. I moved to Phoenix from South Florida in 2015 and don't regret it one bit.
My girlfriend and I are seriously thinking about starting a life in Phoenix , away from California. I really hope it works out well!

I’d love to visit Phoenix Arizona someday.

Beautiful City. I like it !

Great Video, Westgate is a great place also, now they have Topgolf and Crystal Lagoons coming soon
Informative video. Thanks for this.
My Dream city to soon live in Im from Phoenix AZ and plan on moving back 5-6 years from now :D
I can t wait to go back.
I miss Arizona! I'm stuck here in shitty Ohio. AZ is the place to be.
Puck You I feel ya, I’m stuck in PA. Love the desert
Puck You don’t
I'm also stuck in miserable PA. I long to move back to the place I love, Arizona, and especially Phoenix!

be grateful you live in the states. i would do anything to live in the states even if its ohio or pennsylvania
I wanna go there for Andrea :)
SIMP!!
@@apoet7738 agreed
Andrea doesn’t want you to.
Greetings from Nepal, your video is fantastic :)!
I feel like this channel should have a ton of more subscribers. I have subscribed!
Love AZ
There's also a selfie museum in Tempe called Pixypros selfie museum
Aw, good ole AZ
I grew up in Phoenix Arizona it cost a lot more to live here now specially if you're in Sun City
Not if you’re thinking of leaving Chicago. It looks like paradise there.
But most in sun city live on a fixed income. It’s mainly a retirement community. And it still cheap to live here, compared to many other US cities.
I would go back just to see her 💖
Lot more where that came from. AZ women are #1

Phoenix has a high rate of murders.
Love you 💞 AZ🎊🥳🎉🙏😁👅
Good video and interesting . You don't get to here much about these areas in America.
Underrated city/area?
I love you my sweet state AZ
The question is... WHAT is there do to in Phoenix NOW (with 19 around) Whays open, whats closed?
Everything is open, we have a governor who understands that shutting down everything including the economy is stupid. If you want to wear a mask, where 3 of them, just don't infringe on our right not to wear them. Stay home and hide under the table if you like just leave US alone.

Don't forget the best solar and electric company in Arizona is Redline!
Looks like fun. Is there a strong local presence?
Lets be honest, we all clicked because of the girl on the thumbnail 😂
Does Phoenix have good public transportation?
only if you want to go downtown.
I’ve never been but based off of what I’ve read they don’t have very good public transportation at all and that you most definitely need a car if not living and working in downtown

Whos footage is being used? I have footage of AZ for future consideration?
It's a combination but thank you, good to know! You have some great work!
Thinking of moving to Phoenix with my band. Anyone want to meet up? People say we have the 1975/Two Door vibes.
No don’t. We are full. Pick another state.
Don't forget about my coyotes!
riiiight?
I love the coyotes
Your coyotes??

Sure may be an interesting place. However just don’t go in the summer because it is too hot! Try 125°F. Regularly 115° in the summer. Hot! Hot! Hot!
That's good for me. I wanna be a a HVAC tech which means ppl will need air conditioning which means I'ma be rich
From what time does it hit peak highs mornings evenings?
It's 125 only once a decade (maybe).
