re: Great place to live in 1987

8/29/2019You are right. In 1987 the jobs weren't super great paying but the cost of living was cheap. And there wasn't an influx of 3rd world people and the Detroitization of this nice city. Back then the scums knew their place.

8/29/2019I have lived many places and Phoenix is bar none the most lowlife, classless, mean cold place I have ever lived.The cost of living is high. The pay is horrible. They don't have to pay because so many people want to live there.I almost felt like apologizing because I have an education, no tatts, I don't beat my wife and I have an IQ over 21 and I'm polite.The young people are vicious and uncaring. it's hard to make decent friends. You might make some if you want to stoop real low.Good manners, class and kindness are sneered at. The summers are enough to drive you crazy, constant heat, smog, dust, dirt, ugly scenery.Most of the people I swear are on meth. The women love abuse. They know nothing yet are hyper critical:

5/31/2019That's crap. It already WAS an old, dumpy ghetto town. The wages were already poor, crime and drugs were horrible already, houses were already poorly built and dumpy. The job prospects were already bad. they can only improve it.

They know nothing yet are hyper critical. "Do as I say not as I do"
They have such a chip on their shoulder.
Phoenix attracts the white trash mostly from the upper Midwest (except for Wisconsin - those people seem sane and kinder)
People are snobs - blue-collar, working poor snobs.
To give you an example of the idiocy there. I called a store and asked the guy "what are your hours". Now any carbon-based being would interpret that to mean "what time do you open and close". right? The doofus who answered said "Huhhhh, What do you mean?"...in an rude, ignorant peckerwood tone of voice. Never had I talked to such stupid idiot.
See the movie Idiocracy and you'll know what I mean.
There are more social problems and dysfunctional families than you can shake a stick at.
it's LA without the ocean and 30 degrees hotter and the IQ scores are about 30 points lower. The whole state of Arizona sucks.
I read at one time that it was estimated that 25% of the population of Maricopa county was functionally illiterate. That's probably UNDER stating things. The nice weather from November 15 to May 15 just doesn't make this rathole worth it.

The living is easy -
7/14/2015It's a hard place to set down roots. Most people and their predecessors have been in WS for generations and know nothing else. They think the sun rises and sets over Winston. They are not interested in hearing about where YOU came from. But the quality of life is not bad. The living is easy and laid-back. The influx of new people has made the natives a little more loosened up to strangers. The cost of living is not bad. The weather has some good variety. It rains a lot in the late spring, early summer. The fall is beautiful. The winters are variable...cold as heck for a week then warm for another. It's certainly not an intellectual town. It's a good place to raise kids but again the people are a bit cliquish.
