Back to California 😅😂

If you own the land you should be able to build….thats why you pay taxes on the land and until you don’t you should be able to do as you please. Property deed transfer

Creation of no man’s lands everywhere

Phoenix is Toast! The water is going to run out for the City! The reservoirs and Lakes around The Phoenix metro area are not deep enough and can't maintain the water needed for more development on a giant scale!

Earth will be destroyed before 2026.

I’ve said this before, we need to become like other countries and not rely on personal vehicles. We need to walk, rely on public transportation and be able to have everything we need within walking distance instead of driving 10 min to the grocery store. We’re wasting money on new cars every few years, gas, tires, insurance etc.

Tokyo would like to have a conversation with you.

I love Phoenix zoning. Single-family homes should be the standard nationwide. I don’t see any problems here.

Thank you for reminding or teaching people, communities use less water than farmlands.

Phoenix native born and raised. I love seeing this city grow. This city is here for the long run idk what yall talking about 😂😅

I worked on the Central Arizona Project where they made an underground storage to hold huge amount of water.

I just love when tourists come to Chicago, visit the gentrified areas of the city, and conclude that the city is safe.

What about micro ship companies

Consider Colorado instead. It’s their water, along with Indigenous Peoples.

Dry desert wasteland. *One of the wettest deserts in the world.

Never mind the fact that Arizona also allows a Saudi company to grow Alfalfa here because it is banned in their own country. Why is it banned? Because it takes about 4x more water than most of species of grass.

Scottsdale doesn't allow high density housing because studies show that high density housing increases violent crime rates. If I was the kind of person who could afford a $5 million dollar home in Scottsdale. I'd oppose high density housing to prevent an increase in crime. In a nutshell, Scottsdale is gatekeeping their neighborhood.

The biggest downside to mixing Single family and High density zoning is it typically increases the violent crime rate in that area. Therefore, it could eliminate the "Good Side of Town" safer neighborhoods. There's numerous studies on this.

Loved this city profile.

...REALTORS LOVE $$$$$......................After They Take Your Money....They LEAVE......just like Donald....

Now I know why I want to move away. Way too many people. Way. too. many. I swear our population has risen by more than 2 million people just over the last 2 decades.

The real problem is the American government allows foreign governments to farm farm here and use the resources. It's about the elites. No one cares about us peasants. We need to unite with love and overcome this control!

Ghastly looking place.

Ive visited Chicago like 4 times and loved it every time. If it had better landscapes nearby, id definitely consider living there. But if you aren't as into that like me, it has literally everything else

We moved from south tempe, off priest and Caroline, because all of the development made the tiny roads too congested. There was also a fight to add 60 more tall tiny houses to a small amount of land that would have made our small street completely unbearable

It’s funny because I know those exact streets without you saying anything because Ive been there so damn much 😂

NO MORE CALIFORNIANS. Go away.

I’m glad I’ll be dead by then.

I’ve lived in Phoenix for 20 years and learned a few things. Air conditioning is a matter of life and death;A/C depends on super reliable power (which we have had); our “base load” is supported by the Palo Verde Nuclear Power Plant which is extremely well run; this plant uses a massive amount of recycling water for cooling (up to 60,000 gallons per minute) which comes from the west side of Phoenix. Toilet-To-Tap is a wonderful idea but must be balanced by our need to run Palo Verde. Solar is great but can’t support the base load without a means of storage. I know Palo Verde is studying was to use less water but I suspect it will cost more. Bottom line: this is a complex problem needing many solutions.

I grew up in those suburbs. I’m against the growth because it has no culture and neighbors hardly know each other or communicate. It’s as if everyone is against each other. Water usage is lower per acre in housing versus agriculture. The heat has become worse on average and once you have occasional years of 5-6 months of temperatures above 100 it’ll be less desirable. Also, if we experience a prolonged drought in the high country then a lot of communities will have to ration water. I’ve seen Roosevelt Lake get down to 12% capacity about 20 years ago. The population has increased by 50% since then. Hopefully we don’t see a mega-drought soon

Doom and gloom! Doom and gloom! Vice media....taking the "if it bleeds it leads" to a whole knew level. Haven't they done under by now? Gotta call BS on that -15 degrees lower. Maybe....MAYBE at night, in winter with no breeze after rain. Couldn't see much but ... aggregate rocks or "desert landscaping"...it's just a heat sink in the summer. Bullds up and stores heat all day just to radiate it at night. The heat Island effect is what's raising the valley temps and...the highs aren't getting higher. The media lies to us (like always about ever). The overnight lows are increasing causing the daily average temps to increase. We build cities with materials that act as heatsinks so, the urban area doesn't cool overnight nearly as much as the surrounding desert. People can actually die of exposure in the desert wilderness....in summer time! Desert landscaping is anything but natural. Sure, don't need to water it. But, outside of a river bed or say boulder rock formation areas like in North Scottsdale or up in Prescott, you never see piles of small rocks. No, it's mostly dirt, shrubs and Cactus. All of which don't radiate heat at night. The Sonoran desert floor absorbs the heat. That why so many critters burrow. Cooler during the day and maintains a more constant temp at night. Especially for our reptiles that could handle cool nights. The water! More alarmists and chicken littles. What we need is leadership with courage and less alarmist environmentalists so we can build projects to deal with this. More reservoirs and damns. Better aquifer management. Hell, couple of years ago they were diverting water into the aquifers in the west valley after record snow runoff. Try and build a damn for water retention and clean energy now...and the.... militant environmentalists line up their lawyers and tie up the projects in courts until it just becomes a nightmare. I love the treat outdoors here in Arizona and Iove the Valley and my city. But, alarmists are creating problems and not solving them. Hell, if we really are warming and, I've studied the subject for 15 years and have kept meteorological records, three weather stations and am registered storm watcher for NWS Phoenix office, the stats aren't showing a warning trend in the last 25 years. But....if it does happen, then water issues will likely solve themselves. More heat in the atmosphere means more water vapor and more water vapor means more rain. More rain means more potable water. Solved...lol. What we need is rational people with a logical approach along with the dreamers. The half mad half genius that typical change the world with their mad dreams. The Valley ain't going anywhere. Population decline...sure. a possibility. Especially with our current political environment and cultural decline. A lot of places may see population decline. Rapid ones. But, I hope and almost expected...more reasonable people to win the day and the future. God...I hope so!

Ooohh that bbq comment was just incorrect. You haven’t been to NC I guess.

DESALINATION HURRY ❤💦💦💦

😂 Dall-ass

Each interaction in Barcelona is an octagon. So you have to walk over to where the street is narrowest each time you cross. Gets annoying

They should have built a pipeline to pump water from the pacific to a large water basin like lake pleasant. Then use solar to desalinate the water for use. That should have been done twenty years ago.

Moscow laughing in the background 😂

until you live next to the L5 line and want to go from hospital clinic station to universitat (were my favorite kebab shop is) and there is literally no way to get there. to get from L5 to L1 in that area is impossible so I need to walk 35 mins to eat my kebab. SUPER specific problem that probably only like 10% of the locals can relate to lol.

The rezoning thing is absurd. It’d never happen here.

Snare so crisp

@2:58 all those glass highrises are in Phoenix. The west side of Scottsdale road is Phoenix, the east side is Scottsdale. The stark contrast is because Scottsdale has a height limit on buildings (usually 2 stories) so people from all over the town can enjoy the views of the mountains. The people of Scottsdale also approved a sales tax to buy open space - 25,000 acres in Northeast Scottsdale for their residents to hike, mountain bike, horse ride. None of that can be build on. They don't want an urban high density, high rise environment that brings crime, homelessness, and other dense urban problems. This keeps their property values and quality of life high. People there WANT to live away from "thinks" he's describing because the "things" they want are actually close by. Lots of parks with soccer fields and baseball diamonds, community pools, high end smaller shopping centers and restaurants, movie theaters. Urban "planners" think this is a "problem" because you can't "walk" to it. You can safely bike to most of it, and with electric bikes, it makes it even easier. As for your 4 story apartment buildings with 1000 people and cars all on 4 acres, you think that will have LESS cars than 16 homes on a quarter acre each? You even said "every single person needs a car". That includes those in 4 story apartment buildings. Give me a break. People live in Scottsdale EXACTLY because it's not Tempe or Phoenix. If they wanted walking/density/crime they can move there.

if your policy ends up with government getting more control than it already does, your policy is bad.

Not suprised you didn't mention the Saudi owned alfalfa farms in Southern AZ for their stupid show horses. Get out of here with your globalist soros BS. SMH.

Not to mention to build better, safer public transports like a railway system and improve bus routes.

I hate Phoenix!

The phoenix metro area has years of water in their reservoirs alone.

❤❤❤ YOU WON'T SEE ME ADDING TO THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE ONLY TIME I WILL GO TO THE DESERT IS TO VISIT, NOT TO LIVE PERMANENTLY AND I DON'T EVEN GO TO THE DESERT VERY OFTEN

Me: 😂 Nobody;😢 Absalutely nobody:😂 Edit: Ty for likes

The problem with that approach is that it doesn't account for the impact on infrastructure. Roads, parking, etc. CA has already moved in that direction and the results aren't good.
