  1. "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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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. 🤷‍♂️

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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

  8. 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!

  9. 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.

  10. 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

  11. 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

  12. 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.
