The corporate researchers assume that being near the border people are not sophisticated but they are very wrong. Yuma has locals of course, but in the Winter months 80,000 Winter visitors from Canada & the N. U.S. come down. Two large military bases & a lot of well paid people in the agriculture industry. This is not like poorer parts of the border. There should be a Costco & a Trader Joe's in Yuma but corporate hasn't figured out Yuma is a very different place than other parts of the border.
Yes, I agree, the main problem is that Yuma has very limited options. There should be more variety when it comes to stores, restaurants, and a few more hospitals! I hope this problem improves in the future!
Hi Kassandra. I’m moving to Yuma soon and enjoyed watching your videos. Please can you name the neighborhood with trees and green spaces that you speak of in this video please?
I live in wellton and I prefer Yuma over Phoenix any day. Yuma hospital I have never had a bad experience. The Romain I love to I have learned to make my own. I will not go back to California even for Romain 😊😊
I’m one of those SnoBirds. We contribute to the economy and to the area. You’re right there is traffic, but again, most of us are driving rv’s and park them, at $79-$119 a month. We come to Yuma, for warmth of the sun. We are from the PNW, and all it does is rain here. I’m tired of the rains.
Hi Tracy, thanks for your comment! The winter congestion is the bane of Yuma's existence for sure but our snowbird community is on my list of favorite things about Yuma. You all bring so much benefit to our city and we aRe happy to share the sunshine with you. I welcome you to watch my other video "What I Love About Yuma."
I like to spend the winters in Yuma I’ve done it twice now I’m from Tennessee- I love the people there -friendly and they remind me of the locals that I live around here. There are a lot of places to buy food a little bit cheaper there as compared to where I live and I enjoy looking for some of those local greens at alternate stores and I’m not too worried about large warehouse stores like Costco and there are some Asian markets in Yuma as well. I think the topography and the local wildlife is fascinating and in general beautiful. And the beautiful mountains remind me of home in the best way and there’s nothing like the sunsets there lol. It’s been a long time since I experience western heat of the summer. I can’t make a judgment about that except everybody talks about it it must be pretty rough lol.
Don’t hate the snowbirds, just hate how the city bends over backwards for them as if we didn’t have a huge military base and large agricultural industry
Hi Sharon! I hope you watched the whole video and would consider watching my other video "Why you should live in Yuma" where I discuss everything I love about Yuma! I agree that anyone who doesn't love it here should probably relocate, I love Yuma and would never want to leave! :)
there are ton of Doctors just on the other side of the border though. and dentists, and well... you name it, and its there! there is a ton of choices for shopping and stuff just on the other side of the border.
Yes, you're absolutely right! I do go across the border for my own healthcare (shoutout to Grace Dental Studio), to take my pets for affordable veterinary care, and amazing restaurants like Pranvera and Bohemio!
Sorry to disappoint, Sonny! If you watch my video that just went live you'll see I actually love Yuma so coming up with negatives wasn't easy. I appreciate the comment anyways!
Seriously though, Costco is a game changer 🤣🤣
Considering how rude Sams Club employees are.

I agree with you. I came for winter sun and warmth in my RV but I’m leaving for the forest and ocean soon.
I'm sure many of us wish we could go with you to escape the heat!! Enjoy the coast, Carolyn. 😄

There is a Whole Foods now and it’s great!!!
Too much favoritism to get hired, now the noise of the wanna be fast and furious, too many new people with covid
Don’t hate the snowbirds, just hate how the city bends over backwards for them as if we didn’t have a huge military base and large agricultural industry
Thanks!
My parents work at the realty agency 😮😮
Who cares about over priced hippie stores like trader Joe's and Whole Foods. Come on now seriously.😅😅
People who hate yuma should leave and stop complaining

I'd be pissed too if I was stuck here year round.

@@kassandracarrazco4788 Awesome shopping on the other side of the border. Super cheap fentanyl, prostitutes, and you can smuggle back some hombres.
@@lukebandy516 I’m assuming you’ve never paid a visit to San Luis or Algodones. ☺️
your entire list was pretty mellow. i was expecting rawness.
