Review of Phoenix, Arizona


Not recommended
Star Rating - 1/7/2014
Most of the negative comments on this board are true. It's a hot, ugly crowded, polluted city. The people are snobs. They are very pretentious on $35K annual incomes. It's full of working class snobs from the Great Lakes area (mostly) pretending to be uptown. They have brought their snotty attitudes with them. The people left behind in those states are probably celebrating these losers leaving for Phoenix. The crime is high. Drugs are PREVALENT (understatement). Vato gangs all over. The pay is lousy / good jobs that pay decently are few, even with a degree. Hard workers are not rewarded, the butt-kissers are. The people just seem to be so angry and always on the verge of exploding on you. The females here all seem to have "Battered Woman's Syndrome", they love tough-acting, abusive men. The men are ignorant, brutal and stupid. The educational level is low. There is no culture. Multiculturalism just divides people - we are all humans and that should be enough. If you show any intelligence you are brushed off like you're some sort of weirdo or loser;...not the other way around. Like one of the posters says, bad behavior is rewarded in Phoenix. Sincerity is mocked. If you have money it's tolerable, but you either have it here or you DON'T. I have lived in several places and I can say I don't miss it ONE bit or have any real warm memories from it....other than the nasty summer heat.

im a politically moderate conservative white guy from philly, lived in phoenix 3 years and anywhere in the entire phoenix area are the most inconsiderate, rude, pretentious people with anger management issues who blow a fuse AT ANY LITTLE THING. its like people always look like theyre always disgusted n annoyed at EVERYTHING and EVERYONE just cause your breathing their air. Alota, but not all people of phoenix fit the definition of psychopaths which is some1 whois anti-social and lack empathy. Not all people of phoenix r like this but a good amount and more than the average city and i lived in 5 different states. Its like people get very belligerent VERY QUICKLY at almost anything like they dont have any control over their anger. I have never lived anywher where people r like this 2 such a degree of, hostility, bitterness, pretentiousness and with such a high sense of low class that just act like trailer park entitled brats. i just wanna know why they have a chip on their shoulder and such a superiority complex with no reason 2 have 1. its not beverly hills. i been in l hills and its no way near like the high sense of entitlement phoenix people have with no reason…what gave them the right 2 act so superior, belligerent, condesending and so critical and judgmental and so hostile an disgusted 2ward others 4 no other reason just cause they might ask u the time or just breathing their air?…its not beverly hills, its not manhattan, its just phoenix..they gotta get over themselves?
