Review of Surprise, Arizona


Surprise. Allergy and or Respitory problems here
Star Rating - 11/25/2012
I've only been here 3 months and I was fine for only about 2 weeks if that. I gradually kept getting more and more sinus discomfort and headaches here. Then it got worse over the last week. Everytime I go outside I get a tight chest, and have a hard time taking in air. So evidently Asthma or bronchitis is developing. It is very dusty and of course dry here. Add the smog and auto pollution in Metro Phoenix to begin with. All these cars there is so little to no transit at all. All the fields and dry dust bowl conditions that make up the area. No wonder I have this going on. Actually this is a very ignorant and arrogant Metro area. I'm sure they could have done something to improve the air here years ago. Evidently having every car and truck on the road is all they worship here. God forbid there be proper transit to cut down on some of the pollution here. Well I see a doctor about this tomorrow, and I'm out of Arizona this summer. If I can make it that long but I have a lease here so I have to honor it. Arizona is not worth my time, if this is how I have to feel to live here. Especially if Asthma is developing here.

Sorry about your allergies. Once upon a time Arizona was the go to place for people with allergies. Then everyone from all over the country moved here, brought plants that came from their hometown so they could feel more at home, and now we all have allergies. Yes, the traffic here is very congested and no we don't have much mass transit. I live 37 miles from the airport but in the West Valley so I don't expect to see any mass transit here for the next 20 years or so. AZ is too busy putting it all in the areas of the East Valley so those who already live within 5 miles of the city center can use it. DUH! Anyway. Arizona is a lovely place to live. Anywhere you go your allergies will go with you. It's sort of that old saying: "If you have a problem over and over again... it could be you are the problem."
