I at 71 years young retired woman truck / city bus operator here in TUCSON still ride my motorcycle. The roads / streets are awful. Potholes everwhere. They can do major damage to cars or even take a motorcycle down! Hate it.l
I can imagine as a motorcycle rider you have more than potholes to worry about here.
To many leftist ppl there.
I moved to Tucson in 2001. I’ve seen the city change a lot, especially over the last couple of years. I don’t feel safe anymore due to the illegal aliens that are coming across the border. I’ve seen people stealing from Walgreens, TJMaxx, Ross & Fry’s. The thieves know they can get away with it. The schools are overwhelmed with children from other countries that can’t speak English which puts a stress on the teachers & staff. In my neighborhood the rental homes are so expensive, it takes several people to shack up together to make the rent payment. I would move to a small village in northern Italy if I could. I know Italy isn’t perfect, but I don’t like where this city & country is headed.
Tucsonan here. Love our city. Beautiful views, awesome sunsets, friendly people. It’s hot in the summer but we work around it and for 9 months of the year, temps are pretty moderate. Plus, take a 4 hour drive to gorgeous Flagstaff to get out of heat.
People come to Tucson expecting a city. Tucson is not a city. It is a great big Town.
True! For those wanting a city, Phoenix is a good option.
No bigger venues for concerts. You have to go to Phoenix. More concerts here in the 70s and 80s. Lived here since 75. Wouldn't move to Phoenix though.
@atreb56 agreed! As much as I love music, Phoenix is much busier, less laid back and hotter!
We would love to move to Tucson. My husband goes there often for work, and we think it’s such a beautiful place. We started looking at homes online and the prices are insane. Homes that sold for $250k in 2018/2019 are now on the market for $450k or higher. So that with combined with higher interest rates are the reasons we will not be able to afford to live there. Sad!
There are definitely some affordable options around the different suburbs, so it just depends on what you are looking for. Not all homes doubled in price, but several did. We have seen more clients go with new construction lately because many of the builders have been offering interest rates in the 4's and 5's if you use their lender.
Let us know if you ever have any questions, we are here to help!
Country's rudest, worst, aggressive, horrible drivers and I have lived all over US!
man…i think that’s true.
Thank you
I hear this all the time, and I've been in Tucson for 40 years. I'm originally from California. I just don't see (or experience) What other people complain about? And I laugh when people complain about the traffic. I was a basketball official for many years. I know that not having a freeway that runs through town is an inconvenience, but there were 12-15 high schools that I could reach within 30 minutes of my job driving on surface streets. That would be unheard of in California.
Homelessness has jumped significanly since the 2008 crisis and COVID. That is across the entire nation. On top of lack-of-inventory, Corporate Investors and short term rentals (that's what B&B or VRbo are) have stripped inventory at unprecedented national levels. Now there is no state in the nation where a single-income family can afford to live, whether ownership or rent.
All Americans are threatened until financial greed on the part of 'Investors' and Landlords is limited by law.
All good points! We are also alarmed by the number of homes being scooped up by large investors, as well as the build to rent communities being built, preventing future homeownership.
fentalnyl created the explosing america went from 38 k overdose deaths from heroin in 2020 to last year 750 k fentanyl deaths its an epidemic
I liked your video, and pretty much agree with you. However, you really downplayed the heat here!! While not as hot as Phoenix, it is terribly hot here in the summer. Often over 105 degrees! Even on Halloween, it is pretty much still in the 90’s. Vail is about the coolest area by a couple of degrees.
Great point! We tend to forget how hot the summers are until they creep back up again! As much as they say you get used to it, I don't think it's true. We just block it out so we can get through it next year.
This is true and once you get to 105 it’s all the same. Phoenix is hotter but it’s still pretty hot. A few degrees higher in Phoenix but most stay inside anyway
Very high property taxes for AZ, poorly maintained roads, high crime, few decent jobs..... those are the main ones.....
Came across your video, really informative. I moved here from San Diego in 2019 and I have seen the rents climb like crazy. I lived here in the mid 80's for four years and the rents were cheap compared to now. I went back to San Diego in March for a week and I could not believe how the rents doubled since I left. The homelessness has gotten worse but not like San Diego and Oregon where I used to live as well. Thank you.
Thank you for the feedback! Tucson has definitely changed, but overall we still love it!
$200 Room and board in Florida. With the VA clinic in 10min. My heat comes with a beach. Nuff said.
I do wish we had a beach here!
AZ has the beach, we're just missing the ocean
Anyone moving here who is 55 or older should definitely consider getting a place in Tucson estates it's awesome here
Dustin has worked with quite a few very nice people in that neighborhood!
As AZ native, you grow accustomed to heat and desert. I ❤ AZ and will always own a home here. I might buy a home up North but don’t plan on moving. People need to come to Tucson or AZ in general during the summer before they plan on moving here. In my experience, most people that move here don’t do their due diligence and only visit for short periods of time and not during off season.
Great advice! We always recommend this as well as most people come out during the Winter months and make a decision to move here without truly experiencing Summer. If you can handle summer, it is worth it with our beautiful mountains, sunsets, desert scenery/wildlife and monsoons(great lighting shows)!
100 degrees ?/ who are you kidding, more like 110s
True! I saw something showing we had 18 days 110 degrees or higher for 2023, 100+ days over 100 degrees. It's slightly better than Phoenix.
Another problem with Tucson is : super competitive job market. It’s harder to get into any type of job, including your basic fast food chain places. Probably one of the reasons there’s a homeless crises here. Just make sure you have a remote job that you can do anywhere or an online business in your pocket when you move to Tucson
The new American dream is to leave America. RIP USA
What is your dream destination?
@@tucsonarizonaliving I live on a beautiful tropical island in the South Pacific. I will never live in America again. Crazy to watch my home county collapse!
I will be retiring in the mountains in Brazil, where people know how to drive and the food is fresh. Yes, I speak the language
It is not run well. Most other problems stem from that.
yup
Public transit is yet another example. How do you let people that are high on fentanyl interact with kids going home from school?
Liberals ruin every city
Tucson has horrible leftist politicians. I'm a Democrat abd disgusted at how our taxes are wasted.
Im from Los Angeles, so I can deal with all 5 bad reasons lol, me and my family moved to Marana AZ and loved it but my old Job lured me to move to the Bay Area in California and let me tell you, we hate it here, should’ve never moved back to California because we are now planning a move back to Tucson for a permanent stay.
After driving through LA several times, we can understand why you don't love it there! We would be more than happy to welcome you back to Tucson and to help you find your permanent home here!
June, July August, September
Ok i live here. Temps are reported lower on purpose for tourism. It is never the temp reported always hotter. Roads are bad, real bad. Everywhere. They have been bad for years but worse lately and if one is paved it done by D tier team. Its not good. Two seasons. Hot and not as hot. Bad drivers is an understatement. Between drugged out drivers or distracted drivers or RED LIGHT RUNNERS or me first drivers mixed with jay walkers or no insurance or driver license illegal immigrant, it is not safe on the roads. Rent and real estate cost way to much for what you get and no land.
Don't even go outside between June 15 - September 1. But in all seriousness, the crime here is out of control, and the housing price increases are ridiculous.
It is hard to go outside during Summer 🥵 I think crime has gone up everywhere for the most part and housing prices increased across most popular areas in the US. Tucson has been quite popular and definitely used to be more reasonable when it came to house prices, not so much anymore.
We’re selling our home either this summer or next summer. We’re leaving bc of the seasons and the population is so old. The city caters more to the elderly than everybody else. Children’s activities in general are pretty sad compared to most cities around the same size.
We agree with there being a lack of children's activities when looking at other cities, mainly larger ones, so there are definitely some trade-offs. We would be happy to help you sell your home if and when you are ready.
Everyone complains about the ' elderly '.....until they themselves get old...🤔😔
@@alabi2k542Don't worry everyone complains about blacks until theirselves are black❤️Hold on 🤔 Nevermind 😢
Im hoping to leave been here 5 years. Too hot and drivers are crazy
Where are you looking to move? We're always curious where people head to when they do decide to leave Tucson.
Back to Michigan
I live in Tucson and love it. Except when the heat is over a 100..😊
We agree with that!
OH IF YOU WANT TO LEAVE ARIZONA - PLEASE GO NOW - MORE ROOM FOR ME ! FUN TIMES AHEAD ARIZONA !
We have definitely seen more people coming than going.
Its really hot though during the summer.102 to 108 The rents have gone through the roof one year My studio went fromm 500 a month to 800. I found a one bedroom for 700 though now my 1 bedroom went up to 900. but I have to consider myself lucky some rents for 1 bedroom are 1000. to 1300. But a lot of Apartments are being built so hopefully if it gluts the market rents will go down.
Worse drivers are NM and S Cali. Tucson is pretty chill.
We have definitely been frustrated with traffic and drivers in S Cali. No experience with NM
@@tucsonarizonaliving I lived in Albuquerque for 4 years. First, almost half the driver’s don’t have insurance. Second, all the small town drivers that come to town think it is a race to show your machismo. No courtesy, no rules apply accept the jungle rules. It was really irritating and difficult to travel safely. I’ve been back a few times and the vibe still remains the same.
@edjarrett3164 that definitely seems worse than Tucson!
For what is payed in taxes in Tucson, I don't understand the state of disrepair on the roads. It is rampant throughout the area and really bad; however, it isn't like that in Phoenix. I'd be very interested to know why it is so mismanaged. Personally I'd bump it to #2 on the list.
The most exciting time to be in Tucson is the Tucson gem and mineral show and thats it.
That is one of our favorites! The airshow is another good one and depending on what you like, Tucson Meet Yourself, Festival of Books and the Rodeo can be fun!
It's not that Tucson has bad drivers. Oh, we have a few. What's wrong here is that so many snowbirds, or cross-country commuters come here with very, very different driving styles. Bad Driving occurs when two or more styles of driving that are very different conflict with one another. Out of state drivers may also assume our laws are one way, when in fact Arizona has potentially dangerous differences when confronted by other compliance which is not our own.
Definitely don't disagree with that.
I live in a two bedroom house rental with yard and in central Tucson within walking distance of everything for under $1500 with W/D than than what you are saying for the low end. Also if you look right now rentals are running around $1000 for a two bedroom now, $900 for 1 bedroom.
I'm monitoring rentals in NM to Colorado and here looks like Albuquerque is cheaper now and for a while ABQ was cost equated to Tucson for a while.
I think it definitely depends on where you are renting in Tucson. We pull our numbers from places like MLS and Zillow, which don't account for all rentals in Tucson. Some are still affordable, but they are not always in what some clients feel are desirable areas.
Have you been in your rental for a while? Some owners are slowly raising rents so as not to displace renters, while others like investors and corporations, are raising to current market values, which have gone up considerably in rental and Resale market.
I've enjoyed my time in Tucson; unfortunately, our time here is ending. Hubby's job is moving us to New Mexico.
Sorry to hear that, how long have you been here?
wow, from so-so to no-no!
We moved from Tucson to the East Mts of Albuquerque (Tijeras) in 2007, and back to AZ in 2019. I loved New Mexico!
I love this video, Please Please continue to list all the reasons why you shouldn't move to Tucson and all the reasons why non-Natives should leave :) I am a native Tucson resident and all I can say if you hate it and our driving Please Leave to another state/city.
@MaryLopez-gu8mm native Tucsonans here too! Thanks for watching!
So what do you guys think of the cheaper co-ops near the Airport? Good or not?
We are not familiar with those particular ones. We haven't had many clients interested in co-ops just due to some of the caveats of co-ops.
Move to canada. You'll realize how good you've already got it.
Canada looks beautiful, we would love to visit but no plans to move there. We love Tucson!
I've recently retired and have been living in tucson for almost 40 years since I graduated from college. I'm too thrilled with the direction Tucson has taken in the last ten years, on top of being relatively boring.
I'm actually scouting Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica, and Portugal for possible retirement relocation.
( I don't think people realize how many americans and canadian expats and retirees have been leaving the US in the last 5 years and moving to Central or South America ( As well as some South Asian and european cities)
@Leslie3.0Life Understandable. Tucson cam be boring at times, with less to do than places like Phoenix. But if we bring all the things Phoenix has to offer, we will just be another Phoenix. I enjoy visiting Phoenix, but prefer living here.
We have actually talked to a few people recently that relocated outside the US and love it, and a few others that did, but came back after a few years.
If you ever decide to leave and have a house to sell, we are here to help!
Well, if i could afford it i'd move in a second. This town is in the middle of nowhere, it's 2 and a half hours extra to go anywhere since Phoenix is the nearest sign of humanity. It does have it's appeal, it's a bit cheaper especially in gas. But groceries are just as high as anywhere else. The biggest problem is the inability of the city to get past the idiot voters that keep turning down a freeway system that goes through and around the city. the middle of the town is dying because it's too difficult to get through with stop lights every 1/8 of a mile. It's rediculous. They somehow think it will kill the inner city, but the inner city is dying because it's isolated. The weather is better that Phoenix, about 10 to 15 degrees cooler.
We do love that it is cooler than Phoenix and not too far away if you find yourself missing those big city vibes.
They have been talking about the freeway issue for years, but at this point, I'm not sure it will ever happen. If it did, I wonder if it would become more like Phoenix and lose some of it's small town charm?
@@tucsonarizonaliving Nothing to worry about there, it lost it's small town charm years ago. Traffic is 100 % big city.
@jlsc4125 some of the suburbs still have that small town charm. After dealing with traffic in places like LA and Seattle, I can't complain about Tucson.
@@tucsonarizonaliving If your goal is to die of boredom, Tucson is your dream city. I'll take La any time, it's has variety, cuisine and yes, traffic, green grass, trees and ocean, but stay to the side streets and that's a minor problem. There is no less than 3 hours to get anywhere in Tucson, and that's if the traffic is light and accidents are non existent. One wreck on I10 and you are blocked for hours.
@jlsc4125 sounds like you had a bad experience! We can get from far SE side of Tucson up to visit family in Phoenix in less than 3 hours. I get from east Tucson all the way up to SaddleBrooke in an hour almost every time. I do agree if there is an accident, it can take seemingly forever.
It would also be nice to have a beach nearby!
These seem more like reasons why people don't move to Tucson. For people looking to buy their first house, they're not going to find the housing market any better in other states. And Arizona's property taxes and home insurance are still relatively inexpensive compared to other states ( particularly all those states that brag about not having state taxes).
We agree! I think for the average income in Tucson, with how high home prices are currently, Tucson is less affordable for buying or renting than it has been in previous years(prior to 2020). We know a few people that have left for that reason alone.
A lot of these reasons apply to why people aren't moving here as well, although I think we have far more people coming than leaving at this time.
My brother lives in Texas and his property taxes are outrageous
@ezsand0077 I moved into one of my rental properties in Tucson that is situated in what is classified as a "historical district" My property taxes were $2,200 Before I moved in. Now, because I have maintained the historical look of my home, I received a 40% discount! Not that this is typical, but in my 30 years living in tucson and owning a primary residence and a couple of rental properties with my ex-husband, property taxes were very doable. ( This may not be the case so much in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area.) And, I have seen nightmare stories about what's happening in Florida and Texas and other states with exploding property and insurance costs!
( And she has read about one thing-the increase in homelessness and drug use It has increased exponentially in the last 10 years.)
Everyone isn't leaving Tucson, how ridiculous.
We definitely have seen more people coming than going
Lived in Tucson in the early 90s and are considering moving back. None of these reasons deter us. It is beautiful! Jennifer and Dustin, who we met during a recent visit, are really knowledgeable and we will be utilizing their talents if we decide to relocate to Tucson. Great choice all around, Tucson and the Smiths.
Thank you so much! It was a pleasure meeting you both, and I do hope we see you again soon!
We utilized Jennifer and Dustin to sell our home in the White Mountains a couple of years ago and they were able to get us almost double what we paid for the home 4 years previous to selling the home. Their expertise and professionalism got us 4 offers within 24 hours of listing the home, and we accepted the purchaser's generous offer in three days.
@Duffercity1 it was such a beautiful home, it almost sold itself! Thanks for the kind words!
Im here for school. I plan to head to the PNW after I graduate. Vancouver washington, to be exact.
We see quite a few people do that. Sometimes, they even come back several years later.
Who is leaving tho? People are moving in here, which tucson are you talking about ?
People do leave, we have several clients that have moved out of Tucson in recent years. We will agree that more are coming than going at this point and we don't see that changing any time soon.
We will actually have a video released in the next few weeks about why everyone is moving to Tucson.
Exactly!
Grew up here, left for a decade when family convinced me to move closer. When they passed i returned 2 years ago as Tucson will be forever home. The cost increase in rent/buying was a shocker as was the massive increase in homeless. Sure it always existed but unless you went to 4th ave area it was older(what used to be considred typical homeless)now it's so many college aged drugged out/checked out kids everywhere. Drove by oracle and grant saw the circle K with 20 to 30 obviously street kids and hookers just hanging out passing joints around. Yes that area was always bad but nothing like this.
Being Tucson Natives we have noticed the uptick I'm homeless and drugs as well. Things have definitely changed over the years, some good, some bad. I think a lot of our problems are problems in other cities as well. I think overall, people just have to decide if the pros outweigh the cons when they are thinking about moving here so we like to showcase the good, the bad and everything in between.
Time travel back to 2008 and buy a house just outside of Tucson, hike in the heat slowly to better adapt to the heat and see snakes before they see you, buy a tough truck to deal with monsoon flooding and potholes, and enjoy the low cost of living.
You think it's bad there look at Florida. Real estate is %50 over valued, inventory is going through the roof, taxes and insurance are up as much as %600 and pay is some of the lowest in the country
We have definitely heard that about Florida over the past few years. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Worst drivers ever are in Salt Lake City- THEY ARE CRAZY.... and please everyone would like to- LEAVE TUCSON!!! more space for the rest of us
Haven't been there before but we will take your word for it!
Phoenix has worse drivers than Tucson drivers....Now if they would fix all our roads.
@@zruthl agree 100%
Love Arizona. From the east coast and never going back.
The pay is trash, plenty of good old fashion ‘ism too.
Oh, just give up on the interest-rate crap. The interest rates are not much higher than they have been in the past many times. It’s the prices of the houses that are the actual problem.
We do not disagree on that. Higher home prices or higher interest rates wouldn't necessarily be a problem on their own. It's rates coupled with the abnormally high prices for Tucson that create a difficulty for Buyers in the current market.
don't forget to factor in that the dollar is worth less as well
@@vanofpearls7528 Yes!
When did we have a winter storm?
If I remember correctly, there were 3 storms that came through in March in which the mountains got snow and the temperatures came back down for a couple days.
@@tucsonarizonaliving oh in the mountains
Well it brought the cooler weather to the town for a couple days which was nice but then right back to hot days.
2023 had 3 snow storms in Tucson. I took a picture of a winter wonderland that lasted about 6 hours before it melted. Maybe because I live on the eastside of town.
@zruthl We are East as well, and we went to Vail where it lasted a little longer to go play! Always fun when you can play in it but don't have to shovel it!
Thanks for watching!
I have lived in Tucson 45 Years. There is NO PARADISE! You trade one problem for another.
Lesson for paradise-hunters: In Arizona a town must have several major shortcomings- weather, poor schools, lack of entertainment, inadequate road network etc. or it will become a Phoenix. Far from desert solitude, you'll be shoulder to shoulder with hundreds of thousands of newcomers and the built-up concrete infrastructure they will demand. Don,t forget that Phoenix was once a sleepy dude ranch and tourist stop for Californians - now it's no different than L.A.
Great point!
I am not sure about the lack of entertainment. People just don't look around and get bored easily. The roads are terrible though. I hate Phoenix.
@@zruthl they definitely need to fix our roads! And I agree, there is a lot to do, but not as much as Phoenix has to offer.
Several days? Try months!
True! I should have said several days over 110 degrees. There are definitely a few months of the year that are over 100 degrees. It's already getting pretty hot and it's only April!
Yes, please keep leaving…nothing to see here
the bad drivers are called snowbirds old folks from out of town who dont know where they are and are not in a hurry to get anywhere except maybe golf course dr and pharmacy most people drive well 10 miles over speed limit i love it
Are you kidding me?????????? The rent is high? Have you looked at listings elsewhere? I was thinking about moving to Denver, but I decided to look at Tucson apartments and I could rent a 2 bedroom apartment in Tucson for cheaper than most studios in Denver. Rent is currently affordable. Kinda sounds like you're pushing the old, "It's cheaper to just buy a house instead of renting" pitch.
We are all for people renting if it makes sense for their situation. We also feel Tucson is more reasonable than a lot of places, which is why we mention the other major cities people are moving from that are much higher home and rent prices.
Overall, I don't think it's that Tucson is too high, it's just a lot higher than what people in Tucson are used to and with the average income in Tucson, makes it less affordable for more people.
My dear, the statistics prove that drivers in Tucson are terrible. Both myself and my wife have been run over on our bikes.
I'm sorry to hear that! The bad drivers get worse in the summer when everyone is hot and miserable too.
#1 Rent /Home pymt 2 Homeless 3 Death Heat , Diamondback RS, Scorpions 4) 2 Seasons Hot Cold. 5 Drivers ? Boring , It is good Biking tails tho., that's what dennis miller told me
TUCSON AZ is for "65" And over!
I do agree with the bad drivers. I was making a comparison anout Albuquerque vs Tucson drivers, giving this to the bad drivers of Tucson and ABQ being equated demographically and size wise to Tucson.
The pot holes are horrendous here. They finally "filled" the holes on my street but the street needs repaved.
Also the cops, cops won't come out versus Oro Valley, I called the cops for a weird person outside my place 911 told me basically to piss off. Spoke to someone in Oro Valley who the cops came out for a "stolen" golf cart domestic. What if that person was dangerous? Ends up a homeless couple. But I'm not moving to Oro Valley, I love this area minus the homeless and my car being broken into 3x.
The streets definitely needs to be repaved by our house as well, and most streets around Tucson. The "patches" are extremely temporary, so it is frustrating.
Yes, Yes, Yes, YEs, YEs, those are the 5 reasons for us leave Tucson soon!
Where are you headed to?
@@tucsonarizonaliving Beautiful Florida!
@@mariab4990 Well, if we can be of assistance at all when you're ready to make that move, let us know.
I lived in Michigan 37 years and Arizona 16 years. Michigan definitely has worse roads than AZ.
AZ DMV is way better than MI Secretary of state. Can't beat a driver's license that expires in 50 years. 😊
I always forget that not everywhere has DLs that don't expire for 50 years!
LOL 4 MONTHS OF HEAT FOR 8 MONTHS OF PERFECT WEATHER IS FINE BY ME
Agreed!
"Support Local Bingo: Keep Grandma off the Roads!" Here in Albuquerque, it is not just the growing number of older people (like me,) Interstate 25 has difficult exchanges and impatient drivers of all ages. Two reasons I would NOT move to Tucson or Phoenix: current Republican political culture and an interest in NOT stressing water resources in an arid climate.
Tucson is very much a democratic city. Same with Flagstaff.
bring YOUR golf club's AND YOUR DENTAL RECORDS!
Lol 😂
Not sure about the dental records, but definitely bring your golf clubs! We have a lot of beautiful courses here and most of them are looking pretty good right now!
There are no highways to get around. If you love stoplights and heat, move to Tucson
@jeffreyb8152 highways would be nice! But then we would be just like Phoenix so there's give and take.
Mow-ins?
Not familiar with this
@@tucsonarizonaliving Just poking some fun at the way you say "mountains".
You can blame homelessness on open boarders and drugs coming in. The jobs have gone done everywhere also. Tucson is huge so I don’t live near areas like that.
Tucson is definitely bigger than a lot of people realize and there are areas for everyone, depending on your preferences
You can blame homelessness, open borders, and drugs explosion to your actual president and Az governor.
People are moving to Tucson
Yes they are, but they are also leaving. We just wanted to highlight some of the cons, but we also talk about pros on our channel. Thanks for watching!
“Reason #1” defies logic. If you already own a home, even at the current high interest rates and interest rates have not come down (and may not come down to earlier levels due to Federal debt funding requirements), there is zero advantage to generating expenses (selling your home using an overpaid realtor) moving all your possessions and then buying another loan at the same interest rate. Interest rates will come down at some point, but that will be when the Fed cuts rates due to an economic recession. Owls - really?? I am going to move from Tucson because of owls?? They live everywhere. Water issues??? Apparently this realtor ignores the biggest issue. Arizona is an absolute beautiful state with amazing geographic diversity however water will limit future growth and affordability. Very shallow analysis by Tucson Arizona Living.
I think this is why we have low inventory. The people who are buying and selling homes right now are doing so because they need to, and those that don't need to are holding off for lower rates. Some of the major reasons people are still buying/selling are marriage, divorce, death, birth, and job changes. We also have a lot of people coming from states with higher home prices.
As far as analysis, we kept it down to a few short reasons many people are leaving, but overall, we see more people coming here than leaving over the last couple of years.
There is a long-term challenge regarding water shortage, and we may address that in a future video. Thanks for watching!
Fake news nobody is leaving
😆 It does seem that most people stay! We have helped several people that have left but generally it is because they want to be closer to family or job change.
As Curly Bill said, Bye 👋
They’re not leaving, this is just dumb Clickbait
We would be happy to send you stats showing people are leaving. But yes, people have been moving here and we have had more people coming than leaving over the last 4-5 years. We made this video after seeing a lot of articles about people leaving and we even counter some of the reasons people say they are leaving. Thanks for watching!
IMO El Paso has the worst drivers in the world.
Haven't driven through there, interesting!
There's only two good things about El Paso, TX. I-10 East and I-10 west.
@rockymypug I agree, I made a mistake moving here , but I definitely want to leave soon !
@@edtrek5413 come to Tucson!
@@tucsonarizonaliving I'm definitely interested in Tucson. I want to visit soon and look around.
Born and raised in Tucson. This Town is Filthy
Moved here from Silicon Valley to be with my new wife. There’s no work for my specialty. Worse than the heat is the driving!! Never seen such poor drivers, and the city has made no effort in alleviating traffic. No expressways, I 10 serves no purpose…
I think they are trying to avoid turning Tucson into Phoenix
You sugar coat everything
We definitely don't try to, but it can be tough because we have lived here our whole life's and we love a lot about Tucson as a whole. Tucson's definitely not for everyone!
I bought my house oct 2020 interest 2.5% blessed to be paying $850 3 bed 2 bath. Two storie Santa Fe style home. I have a little back yard not that big that’s the downfall but gated community. I think the HOA is what kills me. 340 a month which is ridiculous my neighbors rent their house is exactly like mine 1254 sqft they pay 1850 a month. Crazy high rocket. The opioid addiction and homelessness situation is crazy here like crazy zombies walking all over Tucson trash everywhere camp sight in the sidewalks and I feel the crime rate has gotten really up there lately with all the homicides and road rage situation.
@shiadotdotcom8497 2.5% is a great rate! I would be shocked if we ever see that again! HOA dues can be rough but I would assume it includes some utilities and other items at that price?
@@tucsonarizonaliving water , trash and landscaping but we have no playground nor a pool.
