@AJ, you keep it 100% and that's what I like, unlike a bunch of the natives of Phoenox I've spoken to who have their eyes wide shut despite the insane crime rates, overtaxation in some areas, and even things like that Carne Asada fries have gotten to be like $12 after tax and that's not accounting for the fact that like $75% plus of our ingredients are imported and ain't nowhere near as good as what LA or NYC have:)
The downward trend alongside the wondrously unimpressive property crime rates, breaking-ins, etc started probably well after the 2008 recession, like perhaps 2012, 2013, and areas such as Glendale, Tolleson, and bum else are still writhing with crime, drugs, pollution, and economy based on family-owned businesses and inherited businesses where few outside-lookers can get in:0.
I was raised in southeastern AZ 14 years of my life and have been up here 2-3 years and it's all too obvious the downward hill things are heading. I just can't get out cos I can't afford it but having a clear head about it does make survival and up swinging that much more meaningful, no doubt!
