Living in Arizona is quite a unique experience because of the vastness that the state offers. From the Sonoran Desert in the south to the high country in the north all the way up towards the Four Corners east and the Grand Canyon in the west. Known as the Grand Canyon state, Arizona is diverse in many ways. The state tree is the Palo Verde, the state cactus is the Saguaro, the state bird is the Cactus wren.

I’ve lived in Mesa since 1959. Moved up from Tucson. After husband passed away in 2018, I sold my house, and moved to Apache Junction. Mesa is a great city to live in. I’ve seen a lot of growth since 1959. If you want to live in a lovely city, try Mesa. You’ll be happy.

It's amazing to go there....
Recognise a few places on the video at the beginning...went to the museum and sat on the bear outside. Went to the mall a couple of times, favourite place was the Riparian Nature Preserve in the Mesa area and gutted that I didn't get up to Superstition mountain. Superstition Museum was really cool. Came back to England and left my heart in Arizona....along with some very dear friends in Mesa and Gilbert. You know what the old saying is, home is where the heart is. Thank you so much for this video, brought back some lovely memories of my stay there.
Thank you for your wonderful videos. I have lived here in Mesa for 15 years and we love it. Also love to travel this beautiful state and see all there is to see!! I just posted it on my fb for the friends and family not living here :)

Jeff love you're videos. Mesa has stoled my heart to come and to live in Mesa. One thing I envy about you Jeff. You probably already live in that beautiful town of Mesa. I'm in Wenatchee Washington with the winter's in hate, but girlfriend loves them. But what the hell does she knows. But to get back to the subject at hand. More Mesa videos will keep stealing my heart. I'm planning to leave Washington state, with girlfriend or no girlfriend, probably without girlfriend. With all that said, keep on making your videos. Is there a bike trails, and walking trails. Make videos about them too. Thanks again.

Well, I do get your point. But, you have no idea what expensive is. I've lived in the PHX Valley, and had to go to NJ to take care of my mother. I'm back in AZ in Tucson. The climate is better, and cost of living is cheaper than PHX. Retired people moved to a certain area in NJ where I was at (S. NJ SHORE), and ever increasing property taxes were driving them out. The town is called The Villas.

Nice vlog! Don't care for the trains with the catenary wires to run them, 90 year old technology. 2 lanes of vehicle traffic was removed to put in the 90 year old technology catenary wire trains, thus reducing easier access for the businesses there. Hydrogen fuel cell buses would be more efficient, instead of the estimated 8 million dollar maintenance fee, per mile for the 90 year old technology trains. Thanks again for your fine presentation!

I'm Disabled, a Veteran, and have been homeless for two years. I'm not a drug addict, just lost my housing two years ago when the apartment complex I was living at was sold to a buyer in Toronto, who promptly notified the tenants living with Section 8 or VASH assistance they had the option to move out or pay full market value rent without assistance. I found while looking for a place to move to, that most low income housing in my area was eliminated in this same fashion by greedy investors and was unavailable to find another place to live. I bought an old van on payments and was forced to start living in it. I did so for a year and was offered a tiny fiberglass trailer on payments. I found that the person I bought it from had mislead me on a clear title, and have had difficulty getting it registered and legal to tow. I have been stranded at a Recreation Area, above Kingman Arizona for seven months now trying to get repairs done to my van. It is no longer safe to drive, and definitely not suitable to tow my trailer. It has been a living hell, upto 128 degrees at times this summer, now dealing with freezing cold at night and heavy winds. Every time I try to get some repairs made, something comes up. I bought a used generator which failed in a couple weeks, had to buy another one, then my emotional support dog Archie was badly bitten and required veterinary care, my air conditioning compressor failed in my Van, I cut my knuckle to the bone and ligaments on some glass discarding some trash which resulted in an Emergency Room Visit. I have been trying to get help, and have not had much success. I was accepted for PATH Rapid Rehousing through the Catholic Charities, but have searched all over Mohave County but found I cannot afford an apartment on my disability income. I have been looking for a room for rent, but no luck. So now I'm in a panic as I was notified by the Catholic Charities Caseworker handling my information, had their computer stolen and now my personal information has been compromised. I am on a waiting list for Section 8, basically started over. I did not choose to be in this homeless situation, and have been doing my best to deal with everything I have experienced the past 2 years. I had to literally give everything I owned away when I lost my apartment EVERYTHING!, I did try and keep my many tools, but those to were lost to a "friend" who was going but keep them until I get settled, but would never respond to my calls or texts. I am absolutely sick of my life. I don't live anymore, I merely exist, and it's not much of an existence at that. I have not showered in nearly 8 months, and haven't bathed in over two years since losing my apartment. My teeth are broken, many missing, and I broke another one recently, not looking forward to the toothache that's coming. I am nearly blind in one eye and can only see clearly with glasses, but I lost one of the lenses. I have reached out to every VA organization or service center I know of for help, but am ineligible. I worked for the Air Force starting my senior year of high school, as a civilian employee and for the next decade. I also simultaneously served 6 years in the Air National Guard, and was honorably discharged, but still don't meet the requirements as I was on active duty for well over a year with Avionics Technical School, and was activated during Desert Storm, but could not deploy with my unit, as I was a 3 level technician straight out of school. I have no family for support, no friends, only a few people I have met while being homeless. I have had a fellow vet brings some water bottles and food items several months back, and just today was given a propane tank, heavy sleeping bag, and nice winter coat by Catholic charities, these were definitely a blessing and will definitely help, but I don't see how I can ever get out of my situation as my limited income doesn't suffice to handle the many needs I currently have trying to get out of my homeless situation along with handling my major dental problems, lack now of a safe vehicle, and trailer registration. Any day the area I am staying may be closed, the BLM Rangers have told me they plan to close access to this Recreation Area soon. I will be in an Emergency Situation when they do, and have no idea yet what I will do.
