    Welcome to Arizona! I am originally from the east coast lived in AZ from 1999-2008, moved to the SF Bay Area in 2008 and moved back to Phoenix this past spring. I lived in 300 sq ft and commuted into SF for work. I was so over it and was ready to just breathe. While, it has changed quite a bit since I lived here before, I am happy I made the move. Like everywhere, it has its pros and cons, and I have the ability to pursue my passions, consult and freelance vs living to work. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and the video!

    I probably would have taken your advice but even though I did move downtown Pheonix, it's really not as bad as it seems online when you are not in the area. Any place can look or seem non desirable, however when you arrive it completely changes. Pheonix is (to me anyway), one of, if not the greatest city of all time.

    I love that you love Phoenix! Raised here and I would not move. However, I just want to clear up for people that are thinking of moving here. There is a lot of traffic. This coming from a husband from LA. Also with my own experience being in California a lot of times. I may be wrong but you saying you live by a mountain and the area you are showing tells me you live on the outer skirts in a suburb, possibly on the west side since you showed West gate. With that being said it is less crowded on the outskirts and yes you will probably see scorpions if you live by a mountain. I however have lived in the more central areas for 25 years and have never seen a live scorpion. I saw a dead one once at a park. But if someone is thinking about moving here and they have a family I would suggest the outer skirt areas because you are right, these areas are quiet and have more newer builds and are just nicer in general.

    • @brittaneybadger
      @brittaneybadger  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      +kaioceanlove Yes I live in North West Phoenix off the 303 fwy in AZ. It’s very quiet, the closer I go towards the city more traffic appears. Not quite like Los Angeles but i can easily see major traffic in future years. Then again Im not brave enough to be near the city during rush hour.. California has traumatized me. Lol

This is one of my concerns but maybe you can alleviate that. Have you been able to ensure your kiddos have friends that look like them as well as a diverse group?

    You are a breath of fresh air to see you talking about your great experience in AZ. My family is pretty similar, young married family with a couple of young kids living here in Los Angeles looking seriously into Phoenix for very similar reasons. One of my only last concerns is that i would like to send my child to a christian based school and I am very curious to know if your children tend to be one of the only black children in the class? Or have enough people moved to AZ now so that my children won't feel or be the only black child in many scenarios? Very very interested in your experience with this?

    • @brittaneybadger
      @brittaneybadger  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great question!! My children both have had 1 to 2 other full black children and multiple half black or minorities in their class. I'm very grateful for the progress i have seen thus far. I grew up being the only African American in my elementary classes for years so i defiantly understand your concern. What brings you to Phoenix?
