Arizona, and you're looking for someone to tell you exactly what it's like to live here.

On this video, we're gonna go over the pros and cons of living in Phoenix, Arizona.
Hey, it's rich Brooklyn, and welcome to another episode of Arizona life, the show where we

So if you have any questions at all, feel free to reach out and ask and we are happy
to help.
In today's video, we're going to cover some of the great things about living in Phoenix.
And we're going to cover some of the not so great things about living right here in Phoenix.
We're going to start by giving you the top three reasons that people love living here.
The first and most popular reason the weather, the weather is awesome, except you know when
it's 195 degrees out, but overall people are moving here because of the awesome weather.
You have clear skies over 300 days of sunshine and 70 degree February's more could you ask
for you know that awesome weather creates a lot more opportunities to do things outdoors
year round you have, you know, if you're into tennis, golf, hiking, just you know enjoying
the outdoor weather, but there's so much you can do outdoors year round, just because of
well, where we live.
So we just hit on the weather.
But let's get into the second reason people love living here.
And that's the location.
Now being in the southwest, it opens up so many different doors for you know what you
can experience what you can do and where you can go, though, right here in Phoenix, we
have an international airport.
So you can pretty much take you know, anywhere in the country or the world.
And you're also within driving distance, like I mentioned other videos, but you're driving
distance to Mexico and San Diego, Las Vegas.
But you can escape the heat of Phoenix and you have to Flagstaff in the summer or you
have to Flagstaff in the winter for some awesome snowboarding.
Let's get into the third reason people love living here.
And this is a big one for me.
The food so you have obviously the southwest and Mexican dishes, which are a favorite here.
But you know being a place where people from all over the country moved to you have so
many different palettes that are that have ended up here.
A lot of different craft breweries and small venues have really great and different menus.
Rich Brecklin 2:30 Here depending on where you're going in Phoenix,
but you can pretty much find anything.
I mean, my wife and I have some favorite sushi places here and you probably would not think
you'd find great sushi in the desert.
But you also have to try rehabs burger rehab burger, pb&j burger.
I know it sounds weird, but it's it's pretty damn good.
So the first time I went to this place rehab burger, you know, I saw on their menu the
and the pb&j burger.
Now, I love pb&j.
I love hamburgers.
I've never put them together.
But you know when they did that?
Rich Brecklin 3:01 I don't know why I even order it because I
normally would have but it's awesome.
You definitely you have to try it.
So those are a couple of the pros.
But now we're gonna get into the cons.
Because if you were serious about moving here what you need to know this because I don't
want you moving here without knowing and being mad at me.
So the first con is there are too many people.
People just it's raining people with over 200 people per day and moving to this area.
Well, it's there everywhere.
So they're on the roads and the restaurants are in lines.
And then when you take you know tourists and snowbirds I'm not trying to offend snowbirds,
y'all are great.
But when you get everyone here at the same time, it's just it's super congested.
It almost it almost makes me want to go somewhere else during that busy season.
But, you know, it's I guess it's it's great for business.
It's great for just the economy in general.
But so many people and especially with so many people moving here permanently buying
homes, we have home prices that are rising, they're glad to eat is more expensive.
But again, the roadways This is there's so many people and again the tourists and servers
don't really seem to know where they're going when the driving.
If you can deal with the exploding population here, well then maybe this increased traffic
isn't a big deal for you.
So Phoenix gets busy right?
And with you know, the added population added traffic issues and the lack of you know, expansive
rail system.
Well, that's just more congestion on the roadways.
And like I mentioned before, you know, again, no offense to tourists and snowbirds, but
when you add them into the mix, it just becomes just a nightmare at times depending on when
and where you're going.
Con number three is the heat.
Now I know I talk about cars in this area.
I always mentioned the heat.
You know, are you picking up what I'm throwing down it's serious.
It is a con for some people, it gets hot 115 is 115
Rich Brecklin 5:00 If you're not paying attention, if you're
not using your good judgment and not watching your kids, your pets, you can be in some serious
trouble.
So please, you know, be mindful of the heat.
Use caution drink water, but the heat, it's a real concern for some people.
Well, I hope this video gave you some insight of a few of the pros and cons of living right
here in Phoenix, Arizona.
And if you have any questions at all about what it takes to move here, what it's like
living here, reach out, I'm happy to answer those.
We're helping people pick up move, relocate everyday, right here to Phoenix.
