Living in Arizona - Basic Things to know for Newbies

[@moviemaker77657]

I lived in Phoenix from 1973 -1975 and loved it, my house was on 21st ave and Camelback close to Black Canyon Freeway. The cities were not as close together, I so much want to move back to Arizona.

[@Just_Jim602]

I just moved here from Colorado on November 30th. So far I’m loving it! You are right people are a lot friendlier down here. Every time I go to target people are waving in the parking lot which shocked me lol. Kind of reminded me of growing up in Nebraska lol. Then I finally made it to Frys the other day and people from the customers to cashiers were so friendly. It’s definitely a nice change! I just found your channel and subbed.

[@infoguy1978]

Jim B- do you like arizona better than colorado? i know you just moved there and havent experenced the awful summer months but those two states are my top moving choices so i appreciate your feedback.

[@Just_Jim602]

infoguy1978 After 20 years of living in Colorado I’d chose Phoenix any day. Wish I would of done it a long time ago. Rent is a lot cheaper here. Just keeps going up in Co. More jobs in the metro area vs having to live in one city and drive to a other there in Co. Also the winter here is a lot better. No more bumper to bumper traffic with too many people tailgating you everywhere you go and causing accidents because they don’t know how to drive on winter roads. People are generally more friendlier here when you go shopping or to restaurants. People actually wave at each other driving around parking lots. It would be nothing but road rage there in Co in the middle of parking lots. Also the restaurants and food here is a heck of a lot better then there in Co. There’s a lot more choices here. As far as the summer goes I’ve been through other hot summers in other places. Just turn the AC on or go to a bar or restaurant that has good AC. I’d rather have a hot summer then a -17 winter in Co. Also there’s no frost or ice here in Phoenix. 👍🏼

Pretty good place to live I agree about Arizona

[@Leggoeljefeblu]

Have been watching many of your videos. Awesome to see where you started to now. Thank you very much for all of your info!

[@natashaveronin2929]

Just moved here and look forward to learning about my new state! #

[@IslandHopperTV]

Arizona is a pretty good place to live I think.

[@JT-rw5pd]

Arizona vs Hawaii island that you lived on. Honest opinion why Arizona is better plz.

[@kyrobbins8696]

Azərbaycan Sayağı Hawaii? No bugs? Low crime? Yeah right lmao

[@kenzosanga]

Love your videos man. Saw glimpses of your gone in your other videos, and your home would be over a million in orange county California. Keep up the good work

[@vinniecorleone62]

I lived in Scottsdale back in 1989 at Pima & Bell by the Scottsdale Airport back when there was nothing past that intersection. It was a very bad time as the economy crashed then with the big S&L scandal & finding another job was quite difficult so I moved to Orlando Florida for work. I liked living there overall but drivers were bad, scorpions in my home often & insanely hot summers where your windshield cracks top to bottom with ease. I love your Hawaii videos & will follow you on your new channel. Fresno stinks, I lived there for many years in the late 70's & early 80's, horrible crime & quality of life, you're right.

[@HakVDub]

I agree I was really surprised how nice the people IV meet.

[@deciduousdiscipline9592]

Good stuff. Thanks man

[@bogdanipbv1989]

[@amyhayslettrealtor1901]

I remember driving to Saguaro Lake to water ski and a car past us heading north with snow skis.

[@JustANumber0123]

Just subscribed . Just visited arizona about 3 weeks and i want to move their, hopefully i can get some good info from your channel.

[@edwardlovescrypto4296]

Jay you seem way happier now ... loved your hi videos

[@Kwood10]

Besides Sedona being really nice and scenic what is an affordable place that is safe and fairly pretty & peaceful to live in AZ ?

[@wrodney5]

I have lived in Fresno for many years. I have also lived in Tempe, Tucson, Boise, Los Angeles, Anchorage and Seattle. I have never thought people in Fresno were unfriendly.

[@betsyross1621]

I think you should do a video on day trips you can do from Arizona like Vegas or Sedona or Zion or many places in California or Tombstone.

[@KneeBenderservant]

Hey Jay, I have a chance to move to Peoria northern part or Gilbert chandler queen creek area, what’s better?

[@ronmexico5908]

Jeff, are you going to try living in New Mexico?

[@rounddawaygirl2.042]

Great to hear

[@txplayboi]

Thank you for your videos. I'm in the military and will be moving to Tucson in about 4 months can you do a video about Tucson

[@takemethere4934]

Hey man you have another KZbin channel ??? 🤔🤔🤔

[@danakolpin1289]

I am moving to Mojave Valley, AZ and what is your opinion on Mojave Valley?

[@WAAOF1]

Just moved here. Been here one week and taking care of business. Changed my vehicle insurance address and it almost DOUBLED my premiums. Drivers here are kamikazes so prices are horrendous in that regard. But, I just bought four cucumbers for 75 cents and got an 8-pound watermelon for $1.70. I guess that helps to make everything come out in the wash, heh? Still, don't regret making the move.

[@Noahsoak]

Know anything about Pine, Payson? Is it really remote?

[@oscarvsantos]

Probably I’m going to move to Douglas, AZ for a Border Officer job. Can you tell me something about Douglas? I’m more concerned about safety and friendly atmosphere. Thanks

[@lindag9975]

People are friendly here.

[@belindacummings738]

When you work in the medical field where would you recommend to live

[@jeanelleblocker287]

[@LivinginArizona]

This whole channel has content about Arizona. Have you seen other videos on this channel? Its called Living in Arizona :)

Don't expect to find low income housing. I'm Disabled, a Veteran, and have been homeless for two years. I'm not a drug addict, just lost my housing two years ago when the apartment complex I was living at in Mesa Arizona was sold to a buyer in Toronto, who promptly notified the tenants living with Section 8 or VASH assistance they had the option to move out or pay full market value rent without assistance. I found while looking for a place to move to, that most low income housing in my area was eliminated in this same fashion by greedy investors and was unavailable to find another place to live. I bought an old van on payments and was forced to start living in it. I did so for a year and was offered a tiny fiberglass trailer on payments. I found that the person I bought it from had mislead me on a clear title, and have had difficulty getting it registered and legal to tow. I have been stranded at a Recreation Area, above Kingman Arizona for seven months now trying to get repairs done to my van. It is no longer safe to drive, and definitely not suitable to tow my trailer. It has been a living hell, upto 128 degrees at times this summer, now dealing with freezing cold at night and heavy winds. Every time I try to get some repairs made, something comes up. I bought a used generator which failed in a couple weeks, had to buy another one, then my emotional support dog Archie was badly bitten and required veterinary care, my air conditioning compressor failed in my Van, I cut my knuckle to the bone and ligaments on some glass discarding some trash which resulted in an Emergency Room Visit. I have been trying to get help, and have not had much success. I was accepted for PATH Rapid Rehousing through the Catholic Charities, but have searched all over Mohave County but found I cannot afford an apartment on my disability income. I have been looking for a room for rent, but no luck. So now I'm in a panic as I was notified by the Catholic Charities Caseworker handling my information, had their computer stolen and now my personal information has been compromised. I am on a waiting list for Section 8, basically started over. I did not choose to be in this homeless situation, and have been doing my best to deal with everything I have experienced the past 2 years. I had to literally give everything I owned away when I lost my apartment EVERYTHING!, I did try and keep my many tools, but those to were lost to a "friend" who was going but keep them until I get settled, but would never respond to my calls or texts. I am absolutely sick of my life. I don't live anymore, I merely exist, and it's not much of an existence at that. I have not showered in nearly 8 months, and haven't bathed in over two years since losing my apartment. My teeth are broken, many missing, and I broke another one recently, not looking forward to the toothache that's coming. I am nearly blind in one eye and can only see clearly with glasses, but I lost one of the lenses. I have reached out to every VA organization or service center I know of for help, but am ineligible. I worked for the Air Force starting my senior year of high school, as a civilian employee and for the next decade. I also simultaneously served 6 years in the Air National Guard, and was honorably discharged, but still don't meet the requirements as I was on active duty for well over a year with Avionics Technical School, and was activated during Desert Storm, but could not deploy with my unit, as I was a 3 level technician straight out of school. I have no family for support, no friends, only a few people I have met while being homeless. I have had a fellow vet brings some water bottles and food items several months back, and just today was given a propane tank, heavy sleeping bag, and nice winter coat by Catholic charities, these were definitely a blessing and will definitely help, but I don't see how I can ever get out of my situation as my limited income doesn't suffice to handle the many needs I currently have trying to get out of my homeless situation along with handling my major dental problems, lack now of a safe vehicle, and trailer registration. Any day the area I am staying may be closed, the BLM Rangers have told me they plan to close access to this Recreation Area soon. I will be in an Emergency Situation when they do, and have no idea yet what I will do.

living in arizona- do you prefer living in arizona, hawaii or california best & why. i'm considering a move and those 3 states are my choices.

[@LivinginArizona]

I like them all for different reasons. I think if I had my family in Hawaii that would probably be number 1.

[@infoguy1978]

@@LivinginArizona why did you move back to arizona?
