10 Reasons Why You Won't Want to Live in Tucson | Tucson Arizona

[@mzoesp]

Tucson has some wonderful things, but the roads are terrible. Potholes everywhere. In some parts of the city it’s doesn’t even feel like being in the USA with respect to road conditions.

[@TucsonArizona]

Yes the roads can be rough!

[@manzerm7805]

I used to live there in the 80's. Winters are great and even summers are not that bad, humidity is low so it in not uncomfortable at all. Even in summer one can hike in late afternoons and evenings. Because it is a desert, temperature falls down quickly after the sunset. The weather is so stable that you seldom need to listen to the forecast. The sprawling campus of the University of Arizona is very vibrant and cosmopolitan.

[@TucsonArizona]

So right in so many ways!😀

[@jorgecakt]

I live in Tucson for four years, so this video remembering me ten reason I love living in Tucson Arizona, I really love this City, Thanks for posting

[@TucsonArizona]

So happy you love living here!

[@jamesjirik2245]

I have arthritis and I’m tired of Illinois and all it’s problems. I love the outdoors everything you said sounds like exactly what I want so here I come.

[@TucsonArizona]

Sounds great! Don’t forget to give me a call when you are ready to buy a home here!😀

[@jamesjirik2245]

@ me and my father are looking to rent. Can you help us with that we’re investing and saving our money up for a house I will be a new homebuyer so I’ll be down the line. It won’t be probably for another few years but I can keep you in mind we can establish a business relationship. 😀. We’re looking to vacation to Tucson very soon like within weeks. Maybe we can stop by and say hi.

[@TucsonArizona]

Unfortunately I don’t do rentals. 😬. I would love to discuss areas of town to help you decide where to explore!

[@jamesjirik2245]

@ Awesome thank you for that. I look forward to touching base with you me and my father vacationed out there several times and we really enjoyed it. We always hovered around the Phoenix Mesa area with a trip to Flagstaff of course so Tucson will be a fun new adventure.

[@cactuscosyusa]

You missed the main reasons people don't like Tucson. The heat in the summer. Its only second to Phoenix in that respect, its unbearable unless you have A/C or a Swamp Cooler. Expect a high electric bill in the summer to pay for your A/C. High rents too.The roads full of potholes, expect damage to your cars suspension, lack of street lighting, poor street drainage so expect flooding in the monsoon, and too much traffic and a lot of road rage.

[@jamesjirik2245]

@@cactuscosyusa sounds like people don’t want to talk about it cause gov t is mot fixing the issues just pocketing the tax on the peoples money. It sounds like they don’t reinvest in the community. Sound corrupt.

I live here in the suburbs. Came from Midwest. Love it here. Weather in winter is near perfect. Spring warm with nice breezes. Summer hot but the monsoon’s bring really pretty thunderstorms with lightning displays and fall warm with nice breezes. Tucson has a couple nice malls and plenty of high end resorts. In my opinion it’s beautiful especially in the foothills with all the desert trees. SO much prettier than let’s say Phoenix metro. Plus 9000 foot MT.Lemmon with gorgeous pine trees is not too far away.

[@LoraRudolph]

The entire East side of Tucson is completely UNSAFE. Assaults and property occur daily with police seldom responding. Look at all the trucks and riffraff parked on front yards and blocking fire access lanes. Paramedics and fire trucks cannot get through. There are several trailer parks that are nicer and safer than Civano. Biggest bad investment I ever made. Oh, and abortion rallies every Saturday. If you like that sort of thing, 4th Ward Tucson City Councilwoman hosts the political events on Saturdays right in your neighborhood where the children can hear it.

[@GoodDredd]

C'mon make a real list. Reasons to not come to Tucson: High crime, homeless problem, huge drug problem, poorly maintained roads, 5 month long insane summer, and once you do the tourist thing there is very little to do in Tucson. Mexican food in Tucson is number one in the world however.

[@TucsonArizona]

[@rhammond2152]

I lived there for 4 years (early 90s), and I had only 3 real negatives about life there. July/August were absolutely miserable temperatures....while 7 months out of the year (especially winter). 2nd, the water had a funny taste, and after 4 months....I gave up on tap water for anything beyond coffee. 3rd, getting from one end of town to the other....was a massive pain.

[@TucsonArizona]

Yes! All of this is so true! A lot of people here have reverse osmosis systems to filter the taste of the tap water. And yes, it’s a hassle to go from one end of the city to the other. (And I can confirm all this, as a real estate agent). 🤣

[@spartacusyoya]

Why does the water taste so bad? I live in a city in central Alberta, Canada most peeps drink the tap water but I never drink the tap water 'cause the chemicals make it taste horrible.

[@rhammond2152]

@@spartacusyoya Around Tucson, there are 'filling' stations where you bring your 5-gallon water container....put the cash in, an your bottle is filled with 'filtered' water from the city system. Neutral taste. I often thought that the water-industry selling you the filtered stuff....must be paying the city to do nothing....so that you got hooked on filtered-water. Even on the base, they had one or two of these filter-stations.

[@spartacusyoya]

In most large food stores in our city there are filtered water dispensers but it is a pain to have to haul 5 gal jugs back home. I add a pinch of sea salt and a little bit of baking soda to filtered water to get re-mineralization and increase pH. Sometimes I will buy a bottle of quality high pH spring water or high pH purified water and mix that with filtered water to create a quality drinking water. Yeah, it is sick to have to go through all that work just to drink and cook with quality water. I met an old guy in the 'hood recently, said he was living here since late 1940s. He told me they just dug a water well, and life was good.

Ive been planning to move here, in the next few years, but i got to visit first to see it. How's pricing for renting an apartment??

[@TucsonArizona]

Hi there! I do have a video on this channel about renting in the Tucson area, but it was made several years ago and I need to redo the video. The last I checked, the average rental in Tucson was going for about $2000 a month, although of course you can get much less expensive and much more expensive, it just depends on what you’re looking for. I don’t personally do rentals but there are a few websites. I recommend for searching for rentals. Feel free to contact me directly and I can give you more information. Thank you!

[@peterjordan2738]

@moodypet8837 I hear that too

[@chuckhirman7196]

It's an interesting clip and an upbeat speaker. However, I'd hoped for an honest assessment of the pros AND cons, not a coyly worded all compliments clip. This clip leaves me still with no idea of the downsides of living in Tucson as it lacks objectivity. Saying you won't like Tucson if you don't like biking is ridiculous. If someone is not a cyclist they could still love Tucson. They'd just not cycle. Same with saying you wouldn't like Tucson if you didn't like art, or stargazing, or bird watching. That's silly. I appreciate the narrator's enthusiasm and love of the city. But I am looking for an honest assessment, warts and all, rather than a cheerleading chant.

I lived there five years, the things I don't like about Tucson: Trashy people , shitty roads, bad government, lazy and uneducated people, University of Arizona sucks (even ASU is better) crappy DEI mayor and government, city is backward and most of the city has made no progress or growth since the 70s or 80s and looks that way, Whole swaths of the city are incredibly ugly, and lots of crack heads and other drug addicts. The pros include beautiful mountains and National Park and some trails. The food and things she claims in the video are things that any city has and virtually every other place in the US else beats it on every measure. This person in the video said she hasn't lived anywhere else so she has no perspective. The only award this city has ever received is the " city of gastronomy" which was probably just given out for PC reasons and the food they are talking about is mainly mexican food which all cities have now.

[@mitchellreid4205]

I don't know about ASU being better, but your right about government, the roads etc. A great place to visit and live in the 60s and 70s. Downtown was wonderful in the 60s. Alot of history which has been destroyed to build a better more ugly Tucson

Recently spent a week in staying in downtown Tucson as a visitor. The historic buildings and walkability made it quite fun and interesting. However, your downtown is being taken over by drug addicts, mentally ill and homeless. We were told by our hotel to use extreme caution at night and avoid walking. During 7 days we experienced aggressive panhandling, attempted car break-in, mid-day arrest and foot chase and being berated by homeless. We had a very pleasant dinner at a wonderful restaurant one night but the walk back to the car was a sketchy gauntlet of homelessness. Many nice things about downtown, but not in a hurry to return - too bad.

We definitely have some amazing snakes and spiders and lizards here. I don’t know if I’ve ever come in contact with any fire ants here. And I think in all my 40 years of living in Tucson, I’ve been fortunate to only see one rat.

Tucson seems interesting to me. I lived in Phoenix for a couple of years before going back to my native state of Florida. Thunderstorms meh....that is nothing. Get almost monsoons in Florida. I love art. Plus either high humidity or dry heat is heat. Phoenix and Palm Springs taught me that.

[@TucsonArizona]

Tucson is interesting to me too 😊 I love the monsoons and art scene here

[@tiabryce4973]

Sounds like a wonderful place to me. - signed a New Yorker, sick of New Yorkers ❤😅

Moved to Tuscan moved back to Alaska because in Tucson to many scorpions and bed bugs

[@TucsonArizona]

Oh wow really? That’s too bad! I think in all my 40 years in Tucson, I’ve only seen two live scorpions in my home, and I’ve never had any bedbugs, thank goodness! 😬

[@HarveyManfrenjenfrensen]

Advance welcome to those thinking about moving to Tucson. Hope you can afford it. My home purchased for $13k is now worth $250k. Apartments are going for $1200 p/mo now. I remember paying $550 back in the day. Good luck! 😆 🤣 😂

We're looking at exiting California, how religious is Tucson? My family are atheists and we currently live in Bakersfield which is highly religious. Social circles run along which church you go to, and when it's known we don't go, we get a lot of shunning.

[@TucsonArizona]

Call me and we can discuss in detail. All my contact info is in the description below each video on the channel thanks!

Why does everyone drive so slow in Tucson?

[@TucsonArizona]

Ha! I have a video out about roads and traffic in Tucson. My theory is that a ton of people who live here aren’t really from here and don’t actually live here year round. A ton of our residents are either snowbirds who only live here in the winter time, or students who only live here during the school year, or people who move here from other cities and Mexico to stay here for a short period of time just to work here. We have a lot of people coming and going. We’re also a pretty laid-back town where things don’t really move that fast. 😆

[@GOD14400zero]

Oh you are one of those who can't drive the speed limit and you think someone driving the speed limit is a slow driver, I don't see it that way laws were made are for safety and speed limit is set for safety and if your not following the speed limit then you are part of the problem out here.

[@spirit278]

@@TucsonArizona I have been advised by a few Tucson cop watchers that the citizens are simply afraid of the cops there. I have watched a handful of their police interactions since then and I see why. The police are not very friendly in Tucson.

Casino's Just Down the Road

[@TucsonArizona]

Casino del Sol is absolutely beautiful. The resort is awesome. And food is fantastic there. Thanks so much for checking out the channel!

[@Batmsn797]

I dont like it the drugs and the stupid people and bad school

[@michaelussery1760]

I think most of these are reasons to live in Tucson

[@revamp7411]

The crackheads, I wanna leave so bad I hate it here 😭

[@MikeJohnson-nj1ry]

Traffic sucks in Tucson. As for art, I'm an artist, and it's rare to find people who love and understand art. Tucson. They do recognize Maynard Dixon. I live in a undisclosed town near Tuson were there is a microclimate, which means we don't get as hot. As for food, I'm at a lost to see why you would go to a Taco Bell.

[@GOD14400zero]

You are very right these idiots suck at driving out here are some of the most dangerous assholes I have ever seen and the police are just as bad what great role models they are and what really sucks the police never pull these idiots driver over for being so F-in stupid when they drive. Theirs millions of drivers in Phoenix and in the surrounding areas and I find that only about 10% of them suck but in Tucson and the surrounding areas 99% of them drive like shit and are some of the most dangerous driver I have ever encounters worse then in California. They will never stop driving like idiots because they never get pulled over for being stupid drivers.

HI, what town/are do you recommend that's cooler/higher elevation around Tucson? Cheers! Serge

[@TucsonArizona]

Good question! I think it really depends on what you are looking for. How far out of Tucson are you looking to go?

[@Eidenbites]

You won’t like Tucson if you don’t like driving through traffic lights .. there is no freeway .. i10 runs on the outside .. that’s my only thing that sucks tbh but Tucson I kewl

[@TucsonArizona]

Yeah I hate driving through the city but I love Tucson so I just put up with it 😆

[@ricarleite]

Family Guy brought me here
