I work in the walker area in prescott, cleaning for the mountain people! People live all over in those mountains and there are now mining operations going on again. The walker community is great. Personally, i live off montezuma. One of the best things prescott does is their veterans day parade. Everyone gets gussied up, including the veterans, and comes down to the square for community love. The historical preservation committee in prescott works so hard to make sure we keep these buildings as authentic in its historic significance as possible. Renovations on any historic building must be approved by the city first. They take it very seriously.

Californians did bring money but they drove the housing markets way up. Makes it hard for locals to buy or even move.

Prescott is pretty awesome for sure! Thanks for watching!

Born and raised in So Cal moved to Prescott in the mid 90’s we loved it there had a great view of Thumb Butte out of our kitchen window. My wife’s dad had heart surgery unfortunately he had an allergic reaction to one of the medications an ended up passing away we moved back to be near her mother. Preskitt was affordable back then. Anytime we had visitors had to take them to Jerome great time been back a few times since to hang out in whiskey row!! The Hawsayampa (spelling) inn was a great place to stay with all the rooms differently decorated. We lived off of white spur on Tanglewood Skull valley was kinda cool ! Great video even though it’s been over 25 years since living there!🇺🇸🗽🎉🎊

You passed up lots of great town gems while the camera on you & Ron. Love my Preskit... been here 27 years now, both my adult boys born here & hope to stay the rest of my life. I totally agree, the prices to live here have become unacceptable. Our home value has gone up 30% in the 8 years we've had it. Hope you come back to our town again, video in summer or fall, trees are beautiful. Hit up Mt. Vernon on Halloween, you will be shocked!!

Interesting conversation, but I kinda wish you had showed more of the city, like you did of Jerome. Like, maybe actually drive by Ft. Whipple so people can get a sense of it. You also could have shown the Dells, more of downtown, the Butte, and maybe Prescott College and Yavapai college would have interested outsiders. When I first came to visit, the sense of a walkable town with an old-fashioned town square attracted me, and I agree it is a shame that it is all so expensive! Anyway, thanks for making this video about Prescott.

It really isn’t unless you’re lumping Libertarians (Liberal Conservatives) into the same pot. I’ve been a contractor out here for quite a long time and while I’ve had a few hardcore Conservative clients here and there, the majority are either Independent or watered-down Libertarians like myself. I’d suggest looking into it because you might find it really suits you because life is so much easier when you aren’t forced to align with either of the two party systems.

@@Bornagain7202 Yes, retiring. We have been working since 1974, raised 4 daughters and so I think we are entitled to retire now. And no, we aren't rich retirees. We are looking at social security and a small pension to live on. And yes, we have a house in California, but we don't live in LA or San Diego so it isn't going to bring us a million dollars. 3 to 4 hundred thousand at most which is only enough to buy a dump in Prescott. It was a foreclosure and very run down and we have been working on it since 2011. And yes, I know Prescott it isn't only a retirement town and I do feel bad for young people struggling to build a life, but today's situation isn't my fault. I don't vote for the Democrats, who are the ones that made this mess. Who did you vote for in 2020? My youngest daughter, who is in her 20's, would love to move there and was offered a job, but can't find affordable housing. My middle daughter lives in Sahuarita and was offered a job at the hospital in Prescott, but it doesn't pay enough for them to afford a house there. Her husband is a disabled army vet and cannot work and gets a small disability check. My oldest daughter and son in law and their two children live in Prescott Valley. My granddaughter just graduated from Prescott High in May and is holding down 2 part time jobs as well as dog sitting and going to college there. My son in law commuted from Prescott Valley to Riverside, CA for a year in order for them to be able to move there. He now works for a private company thankfully, but has to leave home for 2 to 3 weeks at a time. So yes, I do realize how hard it is for young people and for everyone who isn't wealthy. My suggestion to you is to vote out the idiots running our country and perhaps things will get better for everyone.

Was uncomfortable about the snide remarks about Trump flags and right wing politics. Californians may bring in money but their policies are not welcome. Ron comes across as a bit of a know it all. My favorite part of the video was the walker with the cane that said Prescott instead of Pres”kit. I say Prescott. Not everyone follows Rons direction.

Fair enough, although I will say everyone is entitled to their opinion, no matter who I interview. I did not feel like any of the remarks were over the top political, rather just one man’s opinion, and how he feels about living in the town as a long time resident. I felt I was fair in the interview, and I think everyone is entitled to their opinion, which is why I am proud to be American and I enjoy making these videos with all kinds of people.
