With these mega corridors not only in AZ but all of the USA, it makes absolutely no sense to not have an efficient passenger rail system. Have you seen the traffic between Maricopa and metro Phoenix? Also...still no passenger train station in Phoenix...there's simply no excuse.
I remember when San Tan valley and Buckeye was way outside the city and now it's part of this mega metropolis. Someday it will extend from Phoenix to Tucson. The only empty spaces will be the reservations.
+Charles Heller I think we'll be successful too. Plus you and I both know that one of the mistakes that we avoided that LA didn't is designing complicated freeways.
My family's been in the Phx area since the early 50's. It is my home, but it's not the place it was back in the day, and I hate what it likely will become.
We don't have sufficient water to sustain such a massive population. More solar farms can provide an add energy source, but we're depleting wells deposits with our current population.
I'm watching the building of Gates homes. Took farmland away. The new 202 is being built which we need to divert traffic off the I-10. People who don't want to stop here can use that and keep moving instead of a standstill on I-10.
Someone told me salary / wages were absolute shit in AZ. So im assuming cost of living is cheap. Must be a sky rocketing air con bill for 8 to 9 mths a yr?
M1978 1978 I believe minimum in ax is at $15 an hour... I’m behind on the times, I guess, but I thought that made us above ABSOLUTE shit... perhaps barely but I thought it could be worse...
No relaxation to the H1b visa program unless actual affordable higher education become available to the many Americans that have been here for years, already in line awaiting an opportunity simply to be allowed to participate without systemic hinderances. Otherwise, well stated presentation.
Geez, let's just pack as many people into this area as we can sardine can in. I hate it here. Not Arizona anymore. Traffic sucks! Above 90 degrees 6 months per year. 🤨 Growth and greed just for growth's sake!
Trump and all Americans need to understand that all immigrants, even Illegal immigrants, are good for the economy. It's been proven Americans simply don't want to do dirty jobs we perceive as "beneath us."
@@The_slowest_buuurn that is a garbage statement. A friend of mine, Brian, who is now in his 40s picked cabbage or lettuce while he was in High school in Yuma. Back then he made $12 an hour. Illegal immigrants came and did it for much much less because it was still good money to them. He no longer had a job because of this. This is not good for the economy, in fact, it is terrible for the economy...back in 2011, while in northern California, I couldn't even get work through a temp agency because I didn't speak Spanish. Legal and checked immigration is good for the economy because those work visas are given to those hard to fill positions.
@@The_slowest_buuurn also, this was back in the mid 90s. $12 then would be like $20 today...that's a lot of money for picking lettuce. Many Americans would do those jobs that you say is "beneath" them if they could at least make a living wage. However when they're competing with people whom can send $6 an hour to their families in Mexico, Americans can't do it. In Mexico, those low wages are like middleclass wages, here Americans can't even do it on two incomes.
@@mikecude4167 Economics, or history, are not your strong suit, I see. Think about it. From a business POV, what better way to save money than to tap into the infinite illegal labor supply. This has happened since the industrial revolution. Google Lowell, Massachusetts for a quick history lesson. Cheap illegal labor = not having to pay a living wage, or provide benefits. Just wet the beaks of your local regulators and politicians to look the other way. Blaming the brown man for your purely anecdotal example is misguided and short sighted. And you've fallen for Trump's trick, hook, line and sinker.
Here is a link to the group for you all to ask questions. facebook.com/groups/LivinginArizona/
Thank you, Jeff.

Also...still no passenger train station in Phoenix...there's simply no excuse.
Oh I 100 percent agree with you about a rail system connecting the two metro areas.
@@LivinginArizona yah we don't even have a bus system that goes into east mesa past power rd.
I remember when San Tan valley and Buckeye was way outside the city and now it's part of this mega metropolis. Someday it will extend from Phoenix to Tucson. The only empty spaces will be the reservations.
We still have a chance to avoid LA's mistakes and I believe were are doing that. I believe we will be successful.

Keep the videos coming. Love it Jeff

Found your channel over this past weekend. Very good content and highly informative.
Do you have any info on the light rail that was proposed between Tucson and Phoenix many years ago?
I live 5 miles south of Tucson limits. They are talking about a super highway. Connecting Tucson to Nevada .Just talk now.
I own a vacation home in Tucson...maybe in 20 years I'll sell it and make a ton.
They need to build a damn highway out there to Queen creek/Santan valley. That shit is so bad for traffic holy hell. That should be priority 1
Yah no kidding, ironwood is a shit show everyday at like 5 pm
Word! Shout out from ocotillo and Ellsworth!!
Or you could just go back to California.
@@fascistnationalistmovement8055 I have lived in arizona for over 20 years bro
@@MistakenMystery Same here, since 2000. What do you think about all the Mexicans turning Phoenix into a shit hole? Pretty cool, eh?
I have been trying to get out of the North East .It is raining and cloudy and cold every day and it is May

A video about smart homes and smart cities would be great.
I wonder if Phoenix will bypass Houston one day when Phoenix and Tucson becomes connected.
It's definitely possible
I live in Yuma so..
I'm safe?
Yuma-El Centro Micro region 😂😂
Are going to need more water and realize one lives in a desert.

It will be tollway
You right it will be tollway
South Mnt 202 will not be toll road
@@edmanetka9972 no, it is not a toll road. It's a by-pass for downtown to keep traffic moving.
Drought will downsize future growth. Bet on it.
Moving out of Denver. One reason being the average home price is 420,000.
We moved from Denver and love it here in the valley
Arizona has water for 20 million people. I respectfully disagree.
More trees & green areas be nice.
I have seen a train plan for something like this

state taxes are high and are on everything, including food
Ha, my google home responded to you..
Not to be negative, but I wonder when the AI will just declare humans obsolete and get rid of us like all of the dystopian Science fiction movies?

Internet of Things which also includes Smart Money. Bitcoin...
Pffft... I’m 42. It won’t happen in my lifetime. They’ve been talking about Tucson and Phoenix merging since the 1980s.
Oh yes it will
thank you for not mindlessly bashing trump and actually using fact
Thanos is the good guy.

2050 in Arizona..LMFAO
Agenda 21
I'm glad to see somebody is on the same page as I am
Actually, agenda 21 is no longer a thing... they changed it to agenda 2030.... sorry, I’m a know it all
Agenda 21 is a bottoms up approach - state and local level. Agenda 2030 is national and international. Both aim to accomplish the same objectives.
Could you be any more obvious you support Trump 😂
Ugh. Whhhhhyyyyyyy
Stay away please
