We're big enough now to where we really don't need your "money". BTW, Are you talking about the town of Maricopa or the county?

Yes Yes , I came from Pa. I feel the same as you.

Certainly Tons of Sunshine in AZ

Grew up in Michigan lived in michigan-ohio my entire life until two years ago we moved out here. Couldn't agree with you more about the weather

Wife came from Europe, never want leave Arizona, my self ..... I can live on the Mars, :)

Came from Chicago I'll I agree

hopefully its not blu ppl

Those are mostly cray California people who come here honestly have you been to LA it's insane

It’s hot in Cali, what about the Mojave. AZ real estate is flying because of Cali people

🤯 california is better.

@@heatherhopereed2147 only if you can afford it

So is the Non Fluctuating Barometer,,,It's a DRY Heat

Get off the meds

It’s getting too expensive even for “natives.” The cost of rentals is among the highest in the nation. My first apartment (studio) in 1974 was $100/month. Now that apartment goes for ten times that.

I have no idea when your retiring but the cost of living can change... so that’s not permanent.

@@michaeltorrey3603 Highest on the nation?

@@LadyLeoASMR "is among the highest".

Try living in Northern Michigan along the lake. Snow days are measured in feet. You can still go snowmobiling in May..

Well over 100! I've never lived anywhere it gets cold but I've heard that enough times I believe it.

Or -20! The Midwest is brutal :( I see where you are coming.

Yup. Moved here from Ohio. Freezing or cold drizzly rainy humid icy snowy for six or seven months a year. The heat here is brutal in summer but I doesn't hurt as much as a cold blast of 0 degree air when it slaps your face when filling up your car.

There isn't a place on earth that is perfect. We moved here two years ago from Ohio. We had been here before for vacation several times so we knew what we were getting into. I was born and lived in Michigan for 26 years and then another 30 years in Ohio. I'm not going to tell you that there aren't things I miss. Several of the things you mentioned in this video are among them. The vegetation and the trees, the heavily forested Metroparks Etc. Coming from Toledo a medium-sized City I could get from one end of the city to the other in 15 minutes on the freeway. I miss Tony Packo's, Frankenmuth Michigan.... oh, the Great Lakes, Mackinac Island, etc. Yes it gets horribly hot here in Arizona for about 4 months a year but that did not deter us from moving here because we were pretty much fed up with Ohio's cold dreary rainy Icy snowy humid never ending cycle of dreary corpse Grey skies....7 months a year. We have had more sunshine in the past two years than in the past 10 years in Ohio. That being said Sunshine can become overbearing after a while. It's human nature to want the things you can't have until you get them. Still I'll take Sunshine over the gray weather most days. Everything you mentioned in this video is true. Things are overrated especially if you move here thinking that everything is going to be better. Overall we are very satisfied the weather is much better overall. It is a beautiful state and there are many things to do if you look for them. Pretty sure we would never move back east as we love the open feel of Arizona and other Western States. For now just going back to visit every few years will suffice. If you're thinking of moving from the Midwest out here though please be aware that just like any place you've lived for a while, after a while it'll just get to be the "same old same old." C'est la vie

I live in Palmdale California for four years. The summer got as high as 110. It was fine for me because it is very dry, not humid. I LOVED waking up to Sunshine ten months out of the year. I am now in Vancover, Wa., right next to Oregon, where you wake up to Damp, Cloudy, Raining weather for 10 mos out of the year. Give me Dry, Sunny weather any time.

That's how I feel living near Joshua Tree, Ca. Tourists trying to change things and force their views on us.

I got 4 red votes 🗳 let’s go !

and leave your insatiable need for more taxes, more government and more rules back in Illinois, New York, and California. Don't bring that shit here.

Agree.

Don't Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Ohio or Nebraska us either.

If you can't find anything better, then it must not be too bad.

@@DD-ee2nv Pretty sure he means he "can't find anything better" bc, like myself, his Phoenix is his home. He loves the valley but is "very unhappy" with how over crowded it's become. :-|

@@lamonica85 😂🤣😂🤣

Where are you coming from

July, you couldn’t pick a worst time to move because it is sweltering here, you are gonna get a wake up call lol.

Agree, everybody is sick of the hell heat by mid July but it's only half over! People do get short tempered. But the flip side is when it finally cools starts cooling down, everyone is happy! I've noticed this myself.

Ever hear of Arizona city?

Lot of accidents out here. I dont know why folks drive so fast and the police do bot stop them from driving that. I literally pray before I leave and I go only when necessary

Phoenix was the Home of Those in the "Witness Protection Program",,,

@@carlrice6989 there still plenty of outlaws around

Surprise is one of the towns I'm looking at coming from the Northeast need to get out of this rat hole....

@@308hit there are plenty of jobs out here and Amazon is opening a warehouse in Surprise in oct/nov

@@superchargerboy5750 oh really I didn't know that that's good to know... I'm actually looking to make a transfer with the Postal Service... I understand there's a big distribution center in Phoenix... Or maybe I'll go into a different line of work I don't know yet but one thing I do know for sure I'm all done with the Northeast!!

Just please remember why you left Cali and don’t ‘California our AZ’ - we like lower taxes and freedom here :) welcome to AZ!

@@talex5459 dude I am going to PRESERVE what is AZ. I have seen Southern California turn into what it has become because of liberalism. I have seen how this happens and I come with first hand knowledge of signs and markers of how they change a community from conservative to liberal. I plan to share this info at city council meetings. We are not concerned about Arizona going to hell we are concerned about the entire country going to hell. Arizona is just where we are choosing to help fight for our freedom because it is completely gone in LA & here’s the thing people don’t even realize it! I even know the signs to look for when the residents KNOW they’re freedoms are gone but they are in denial mode! Since the lockdowns from “you know what” I watched closely and I understand how they use it to change a city. It is a very systematic way they are taking peoples freedoms so they don’t even know it. LA is too stupid to understand this (and that’s the literal truth) I am a bit worried about Surpise to be honest cuz I see some of the signs. Our freedom strictly depends on the community. That is it plain and simple. And an uneducated community it succesptible to fall for this shit. U know how Biden says “build back better?” That is actually how they implement and change your community! I have first hand observational knowledge and trust me the people in LA are DONE! They are too stupid to realize that they have leveraged the gov now to do whatever they want to them. Uneducated, liberal, narcissistic and STUPID is what has happened to Southern California

Construction is booming here. There are jobs that cannot be started because there aren’t enough workers. People just aren’t looking or willing to have a job change.

I agree... I get emails everyday and hear of jobs on the radio... and new businesses opening everyday... see when u can make $30k or $40k and live your doing okay... make $30k in NY 😂😂😂😂😂 joke! Idk maybe the natives don’t see it but AZ is still winning on my list! 🤷🏾‍♀️ When you look at Cost of Living, Average Income & Quality of Life AZ 🎯 People need to get over the transplants, imagine I lived in NYC all my life nothing but transplants... AZ doesn’t like diversity that is the problem. We live in a nation not on an island people can come and go where they please!

Not enough workers, yes not enough illegals anymore. Not enough workers, yes at traditional wage rates, depressed by so many illegals.

Why not? The so-called Republicans in AZ are not Republicans at all...........they're trump sycophants! I was a Barry Goldwater, Jim Kolbe, John McCain Republican. Arizona Republicans with a independent streak that used to be the hallmark of an Arizona Republican!

@@TheShazam12 sounds like you belong in Commiefornia

@@kwevoel9993 Why? Because I said I wasn't a trumper? As a lifelong Republican I'm sick about the idiots down on Jefferson trying to pass themselves off as Republicans. As far as California is concerned, I've watched those jokers try to californicate Arizona for the last 50 years. Their politics is even worse then ours..........only different, much different!

I’m bringing 4 red votes to Az from ca !!

@@seerguru We brought 4 as well plus 1 more who isn't old enough to vote yet. :)

HAHA damn you are right. It was 2001 against the Yankees. I don't know why I thought that was in the 90's I was even outside the stadium where the jumbotron was outside AWA and I still got the date wrong. But yes I will never forget the blooper Gonzo hit over 2nd base.

what're snow birbs?

It's all relative

Imagine if there were trains between Tucson, Phoenix, and Flagstaff, so you could travel faster, cheaper, and safer than driving. I’ve lived in countries with passenger train systems, and I wish the USA would have some, but it won’t happen.

It would cost billions of dollars and given the urban sprawl would rarely be used. Bad idea

@@wlonsdale1 commuter rail is always used for suburban sprawl.

Drive north yes, wait 12 hours no. Been here 30 years, once the heat hits, there are no 80's for months. Very common for it to still be 100 degrees at 10 pm.

@@bluesmanish Yes but it's well under 100 degrees at sunrise so you get a nice break from the heat. The average low/high for Phoenix are: Jun 78/104, Jul 84/106, Aug 83/104, Sep 77/100.

@@scottscott5827 What about the summer of 2020?? In a few years, we will hit a new record: 100 degree overnight low. It's coming. But I do love AZ- just want to let people know what they're in for. It's a desert!

@@bluesmanish right! you have to venture out of the state for that, geez some people aren’t living in reality lol

​@@bluesmanish An overnight low of 100? Everyone can jump in the pool and sip margaritas.

How can you do that all in one breath?

Remind me which part of it looks like northern Vermont

That was rough reading!

Too bad the actual school sucks

The cops are pretty corrupt here

Our family used to drive up from Tucson on occasion to go to legend city. We loved it! I think it's not there anymore.

Aww too bad.

For four times the clothes...

Who cares about any pro sports ...... hope they die a slow, painful, financial death .... 🤬
