Review of Phoenix, Arizona


Quality of life is not up to par!
Star Rating - 6/4/2010
I have read some of the comments in regards to Phoenix only being extremely hot for 3 months, not accurate anyone that lives here knows that it starts to get hot in May through mid October ranging still in 100 degrees or more! Secondly, being a dry climate like an oven is not sufficient because if you turn your oven higher it get harder doesn't it? This is what people say when they are in denial how really hot it is. I like to point out that people are not very nice here and not everyone can take time out to go away to another part of the States to beat the heat. For the ones who say get out if you don't like it here needs to get a grip because they do not want to here the truth that the State lacks true culture other than the Native American arts and the Mexican culture is not enough for the true immigrants that makes up America, like Ellis-Island the true immigrants. I am not bias but I must be honest that some of the people here are low class citizens who do not have any class what so ever and there seems to be quite of bit of white trash. I'm tired of worrying about my car every summer if it will make it and not over-heat and break-down. The problem I see about some of the residents of Arizona is that they have a slave like mentality that you must work yourself to death when it comes to a job or renting, or you must have a nice car and job? This is because there self worth and lack of knowledge hasn't caught up that there are States that do adhere to union protections and labor laws are a protected class. It's been a struggle dealing with jobs that fired you for anything and now the Governor has made it worse by trying to make this a white supremacy state and allow individuals to carry a gun without a permit and yet she's worried about the border issues! Does this make sense to you because this is a contradiction of safety and I hope to God I can get out o0f here by next fall. There are nice restaurants and I live in the Arcadia area but I'm not happy if I cannot take a walk at night oin the summer time nor can I find a so call park and have a picnic and I do not want to go to Sedona or fly away to California. I should live in a State where I should be able to do all these things and have protected employment and not have to worried about not having employment or having employment that pays too little and lets you go for nothing! Do you grasp this that living in a desert is not right for everyone but this State has big issues and I want to leave here so as it is possible and maybe come back for a visit but I do not think so. It's been lonely living here because people are not as diverse in conversation and some are narrow minded and bias and I need a diverse culture environment that is healthy.
