don’t move here and if you do stay away form 27th and Indian school
Cheap housing, good government, and kots of jobs (due to business friendly environment of government).
A 50 min episode for when “because they’re effin stupid” just doesn’t cover it.
"Realitively low cost of living"
Are you sure about that? I live here. I know nobody in their right mind would come here, nor do we want them to (unless you have to be here, or are native)
I feel like most of us here unite over the shared expirience of suffering despite having two or three jobs. Seriously, all of central phoenix consists of rough areas, where's all this money going? We certainly arent seeing it.
I'll take 113 over -13 any day
Phoenix: where us residents think anything up to human body temperature is NICE WEATHER and going up to 110°f is only KINDA hot 😃
There's a guy who built machines who pull water out the atmosphere, …they won't work with him for obvious reasons…
He's black.
I love the Sid Meier reference
WE LIVE THERE CAUSE WE CAN SWIM IN POOLS AND ITS NOT COLD DURING WINTER SO THERE U BAKA’S (I’m not mad I’m hyper lol)
fun fact: New Mexico had more territory before than after the war.
the most important woman the world has ever seen, know of, and will see lives here. hi 🙂
As someone who lives in southwest Georgia, the heat here is far worse. I’ve been in AZ as well. It gets just as hot AND it’s humid here in GA. Like living in a Sauna, you’re sweating constantly. Walk outside you’re sweating. It’s ridiculous. Then you have gnats here too. Only to add insult to injury. At least Phoenix, or AZ in general, is GORGEOUS. Desert mountains are the best. Driving down the street, you are surrounded by nature’s majesty. I’d take that any day. 🤷♂️
The hottest city is actually Lake Havasu in Mohave County, not Phoenix.
No…actually Yuma, Arizona is hotter.
The proposal to build a multi billion dollar desalinization plant in Mexico, a country we are already having difficulties with due to the various cartels, in order to supply absolutely necessary water to the region where all our major local chip production is centralized has got to be the most naive, short sided plan I've heard.
Building anything in california is a pain in the ass that cost far more than it should, but its still better long term to have that water production on a domestic coast.
Why not dam the Colorado River up further south before Mexico creating another large reservoir ?
Salt River Project, one of the largest water/power suppliers in Arizona, actually still use some of the old Hohokam canals (obviously modernized for todays use). Even though they were long gone by the time the Spanish arrived, if it wasn't for the Ancestral Sonoran Desert People no one would have been able to live here in the first place.
seeing thos wood only wall frameworks just makes me shake my head in disbelief about the stupidity of americans every single time
I live in the mountains and I had to go to Phoenix to get meat because of my religion banned the majority of common meat which in stores and I remember that I had to take of my shirt and pants of the cool down.
It’s horrible don’t move here stay where you are.
Long ago Arizona natives “mysteriously” disappeared
Excellent Documentary
I lived in Phoenix for a little over a year, just before and during the varus lockdowns…could go outside to my apartment complexs pool at 3 am and it would still be a hundred degrees out…the place truly is a monument to man's arrogance
I go to Phoenix multiple times per year as a Tucsonian a little down South from it, I love Phoenix despite the heat.
Politics when the Interstate highway system was being built left Phoenix a traffic nightmare.
Live just a few hours away in a small town called Yuma az. Trust me Yuma is way hotter than phx 😭
Phx isn't as inhospitable as people make it out to be. I would ask people in NY, PA, MN, NE, and almost any other state… how often do you have to run heat or a/c in your home? Bc the weather in PHX is fantastic for at least 7 or 8 months a year. I haven't had my HVAC system on for at least the last 2 months, and only run it on the coldest of winter days. So we have to use heating or cooling FAR less than most areas of the country do. Summer is uncomfortable, but so is Fargo in January.
And the dryness in AZ means that you can get in the pool on a 100⁰F day, and come out of the water shivering.
So it's easier to work around the difficult weather months in AZ, compared to most areas. And you don't have to shovel sunshine!
"Heat wave" doesn't mean much to us year round Arizonans~
I would rather be in dry heat than humid heat
I’m an Arizona native and I’m 21 years old, I’ve noticed that Phoenix started to grow big after 2010
soon there will be war in the south west over water rights just like Fury. its inevitable that the water will run out but probably sooner than later. i love my state my city my home. its all i know. when that happens.. my life will be over.
Ahh it's good to be a pipefitter. Join the building trades!
Phoenix resident here, i genuinely think that the summers here are less brutal than other cities. I would much rather be in a DRY 113 degree heat than a humid 94 degree heat.
Also: Its not perfect, it definitely sucks when *flights get grounded due to the heat*, but its still better than humidity. I've been to Florida, i can say it genuinely felt like walking through a steam room with the heat up too high
I remembered it reaching to 117°F and oh boi it felt like I was gonna have a heat stroke, wished it was 111° and hail during rainstorm like it used to
A pretty good description of the history and growth of Phoenix, but so many of the video clips supposedly of the Phoenix area are actually of other parts of Arizona. And no mention at all of the Verde River. Phoenix and Tucson are living on borrowed time as per water.
Your assessment of the Taiwan/China situation is American propaganda (bullshit). And Ukraine/Russia (bullshit).
Plans for future Phoenix growth virtually guarantee an environmental nightmare.
