If you live here, you will understand what he means when he says that. He isn’t referring to people that are down on their luck. The majority of homeless here are junkies & they’re dangerous. They use the sidewalks as their toilets. They run rampant in the grocery stores, screaming in a meth psychosis. I saw it for myself. Very few here are homeless due to job losses, it’s drugs.

I’m originally from the bay. Been living in Vegas for 22 years. The best way to live in Vegas is to stay away from everyone.

I was born and raised in LA. I never wanted to leave. But because of the Homeless people, taxes and garbage in the streets I moved to Las Vegas 4 years ago. I have met the best people and had the best time of my life. I live South of Las Vegas and it is awesome here. I work for a Tech Company. There are tons of nerdy Tech people here. The people here are much nicer than Los Angeles. Mary Jane Falls, Lake Mead, Red Rock, The Bird Preserve are just a few of the beautiful places here.

We built houses to keep nature out.

When I moved from Germany to Las Vegas, the first two years I had only one friend in this town and it was pure luck that I met her. Yes I loved the city itself, but couldn't find good people I trust that I wanted to become friends with. Then I moved to an other high rise and directly noticed that the people there were so different. I became friends with many of my neighbors and they introduced me to their friends as well. Now I have very interesting & smart people around me all the time. Some of them became family to me. We also go on vacation trips together. So hang in there, you will find good people you can 100% trust. Just give it a bit more time and try different things.

@@chrishaz1122 Chris, I do not know how often you have been in Vegas before. In general to get a bit more familiar with the city I would try staying in a hotel or extended stay would be a good start 2-3 weeks before you decide to move to a certain area. When you want it is really not that hard to meet Vegas locals (when you are not an introvert type of person) Also for the start you could look up if there is a comunity/forum/facebook group for people from England who are living in Vegas. When I moved from Germany to Vegas, I honestly first avoided the German community here, because I thought I do not need to leave Germany to hang out with germans. lol. However, my wife went to their meeting once and met one super nice person who invited us to a party.... just on this party alone we made a lot of good friends. Beside that it is always easy to become friends with people you have something in common. So let's say you ride bicycles, motorcycles, love hiking, soccer or whatever. There will be a meetup group for this or a club in Vegas you can join. This all might sound a bit hard first, but reality is when you are able to meet 2-3 good people who like you a lot, they will give you access to all their friends. Also living in Vegas feels more like you are in a small village. Yes there are many tourists in town, BUT you will notice soon that you will meet always the same locals at the parties or events. Chris, I hope some of my ideas were a bit helpful for you and I wish you all the best for your adventure (it's a cool expierence to move to a different country, I love it here so much)

So very true

You won't meet friends in Vegas, the same way you do in California because the lifestyle is a bit different. You need to get out to events and meet people, once you do, your circle of friends grows, and longer-term residents/locals know that, so you are embraced. I hardly met anyone my first year in 2014 but once I started getting out there, I met a good circle of friends.

Thank you for the update AZT400X is done right, and waiting is part of the process,

TIP. When you miss your old office job - you think going back to it, will make you feel better. But when you do - you will immediately feel like you've GONE BACK in life. Not forward. The people you have good memories of working with, are gone. Times and technology have changed too. It won't feel the same at all. You need something new in life.

Like you should if the complaints are valid. The world is a pit the way it is now.

He's not lying, or trolling etc. I came to Vegas as well like a year ago, I'm not a millionaire like him but tbh I have a lot of the same complaints. I've never drank the water here, I've read the same things and I don't trust the water here. The city, is kind of a mess, it's cheap here for certain things but also pretty expensive, it's not cheap to do "fun things" here if it doesn't involve a casino...they charge an arm and a leg to do fun things here, I went to a museum here and it was 60 bucks per person...for a museum. I'd say living in Vegas is mid. And yeah it's hard to make friends here because people here tend to be very fickle. It's ok... I mean not the worst place I've ever lived but it's really not that great to live here. There is a lot of other things I can mention, like if you have kids... The public schools here are very bad, UNLV is a decent college but it's not that great. This city isn't really kid oriented or family friendly. Lot of negative sht going on here, yeah there is low traffic congestion but people drive crazy af here. I've witnessed 3 different accidents right in front of me here. And he's wrong about danger, Las Vegas is in the top 10 most dangerous cities as far as murder rate, there is a lot of burglary and strong armed robbery going on here, shootings happen pretty much every other day, a shooting happened at my apartment complex a couple weeks ago and there was a bunch of cops circling, nobody got hit though. Good things, I'd say the weather is still good even though the summer kindof sucks, there is a lot going on here, if you want to be in entertainment, hotel management, or services oriented industry, it's a great city for that, a lot of trade shows and stuff like that happen here and sometimes you can find deals to do fun stuff. But overall it's mid, and it's really not that cheap... Yeah no state income tax but they make up for that in other ways trust me. I've never paid more for car insurance and registration than I have here and I've lived in several cities. Kindof interesting, beat the bush recently mentioned he sortof regrets leaving electrical engineering for a career as a content creator on KZread, and he doesn't pull the numbers you do so. Idk, you guys did that, now you're doing this... Can't go back in time. Oh and lastly, you should probably look at Henderson or Summerline before you decide full on to go back to CA. I'm surprised you didn't mention either. I'm looking at getting an apartment in summerline, it's gonna be high but I think worth it over where I'm at now.

He probably lost all his money on gambling, so he has to move into a tent in LA.

Burnt out KZreadrs ending up in Las Vegas is a crack up comment. If you were on stage, you would get laughs from the audience with that one. Your talk was very interesting and made me think that it seems like it boils down to our extent of being programmed. If I had $1 billion and went through the Ferraris and shiny homes as you put it, it all gets boring after a while, so I like the way you spoke about being more internal in your head. It seems much more valid. This level of existence can get boring real fast unless we have something more ethereal to think about.

You're looking in the wrong places for the wrong things. You want family.

Honestly as a Vegas native I'm surprised you moved here. My brother recently moved from here to San Diego and he does not coming back and I understand. My attachment to this place is just solely because I grew up here. Once you get outside of the casinos, there is not much besides heat and dirt. Nevada is a very spread out, outdoorsy type place. Worth checking out. But some people don't like the solace of the open desert. I do. I will trade California beaches for our sunsets and vast open nothingness. Ever been horseback riding in the open desert? Land sail on a dry lake bed? Go skeet shooting? Camp in the open desert with nobody around for miles. Drive a dune buggy or quad flat out. Go River rafting through a canyon. Go to a brothel (probably not), go to a ghost town or up north to some of the older towns like Virginia City or Carson? I guess you don't know the joy of being in a little house out in the middle of nowhere with nobody around. Grilling up some up some steaks with a nice drink and a smoke. Purple and orange skys. Vastness for miles. Blanket of stars in total darkness when the sun goes down. California is a different vibe entirely then Nevada. People are typically laid back, anywhere but Vegas. In Vegas most people are very closed off. Especially outside of Vegas. Vegas is kinda some what like California. (Depends on what you are doing in the city). Las Vegas is a black hole in reality in the desert.

I moved to Vegas from LA and the ent industry just over a year ago. Never thought I'd want to live in Vegas years prior, but I'm 100% happier. Why? Because of the quality of people. Away from the strip, the culture is very sane, warm, human and most importantly, not woke. People are also friendly for the sake of being friendly - just enough not to be intrusive, and usually not with some ulterior motive. Drivers are also conscious about pedestrians. It's the opposite of LA. My neighborhood is a paradise. Mountains surround me. They even get covered in snow during the winter months. I absolutely love it. Mark Wahlberg was right.

You have another option, which is to work as a senior freelance consultant for a part of the year, with a salary several times the one you'd get as an employee theoretically, and thus you'd get enough money working only for a few months in California, getting back what you have lost, while still enjoying the freedom of moving anywhere you want after having banked whatever amount you need in the year to travel around.

Appreciate your insights and honesty. As a female INTJ, I completely understand what you are saying.

If you end up moving somewhere alone, of course you would end up feeling lonely or not into the city life. I also think you are centered around your tech career, so it’s best to move to a city that has the market for tech so you can be around the same type of people (Boston, New York City, Austin, Atlanta, Seattle, Silicon Valley).

Plus, we have so many different geographies. Despite the politics, this is still a beautiful state.

Next issue: Why I got mugged in LA and lost my job reporting it after moving in CA?

I have a similar experience. I was working at an accounting firm. I could have gone back to school, gotten my degree, worked my way up to becomming a controller at a good firm .. But then i went out to Vegas. Started playing poker and ive been doing that for two years while traveling around the country. Now im literally on the road, days away from returning to Vegas to continue playing poker. Some days id rather just be working as an accountant, working a 9-5 and earning an honest wage.

For God's sake, go back to the accounting field! And get yourself out of Las Vegas! There is no future in Vegas for you! It's not too late! Surely there are lots of job openings in the field right now. You're more likely to become a millionaire accountant than a millionaire poker player.

I really realized that I just strongly dislike the desert. I lived for a while in a different desert wasteland called Phoenix, but moved back to CA as soon as I could. Not even sure what the water quality was like because I was so distracted by the ungodly heat. People were largely pretty unfriendly, and I rarely ever saw my neighbors. Their houses were either unoccupied or they were holed up inside with blacked out window shades to escape said heat.

I moved to Phoenix 35 years ago and have lived all over United States. Nothing or no one could have ever prepared me for what I was about to experience living in Phoenix. People told me that it was hot but it was a dry heat. Well I figured I've lived in South Florida for a year and Atlanta for 4 years so I figured it could be that bad. Needless to say it was like living in a n oven( a 115 degree oven. Friends of mine like to play tennis invited me to play and I figured okay we'll go around 8 or 9 a.m. well my friend said no we have to go at 6 a.m. by 8 a.m. it was already 95 and not a cloud in the sky and I knew I was going to die a million deaths. I never saw my neighbor's I thought people that all died in my neighborhood because temperature was so hot that nobody went out during the day. Sometimes I would see people at 1 or 1:30 a.m. outside walking their dog. The temperature had come down from 115 degrees to about 95 degrees. That someone who is a sunshine kind of person I never thought I'd see the day when I would wake up and look out my bedroom window and see that big ball of fire the Sun and I just knew I was going to be dying a million deaths that day. Because there's nothing to do for seven or eight months a year with all that heat there was nothing else to do but drink on the weekends and get drunk. After one year I could not take it anymore and I moved from Phoenix to California and have never looked back it would never go back there again. To me it was like hell on Earth.

Some of my family sold their small house in Los Angeles and bought a mini mansion in Phoenix. They invited me their for the weekend. It was 115 degrees and even the air was hot. I asked but it cools down at night right so we can go for a jog or a nice walk outside. They said no it's hot at night as well. It was about 100 at 2 in the morning! It never let up, it was just hot all the time. So I spent the entire weekend inside the house with the Air Conditioning "AC" blasting, then got in my car with the AC blasting, when to the mall and walked around indoors where there was AC. My family said you get use the heat. Well, you actually don't you get use to being indoors in the AC the whole time. In Los Angeles I can go to the beach and walk around the boardwalk, take the bike path, walk around the shops, relax on the sand. I can go to the mountains for a nice hike. I can go and explore different areas of the city. I really don't need a big house in Los Angeles. In Phoenix I would need a big house with an indoor pool because I would spend most of my time indoors.

My God, this guy is so miserable that it doesn't matter the location he'll just trash talk about it. What a snarky, exhausting individual.

This video is so freaking relatable!! I am tired of Vegas and dumb vagabonds

When I moved here back in the 90’s, I got very sick with a stomach virus. The doctor told me everyone here has bottled water service, despite being told the water is fine, it really isn’t okay to drink. I was sick for two weeks, I couldn’t even keep down liquids like juice or bottled water, Gatorade. After a few days I could tolerate liquids but no food at all. I can’t remember the name for the stomach virus it was but it was awful. I hate having the extra bill of a water service every month but there is no choice here . I can agree with everything else you mentioned as well, especially regarding the people. Back then it was so so, you could make friends more easily but you had to watch who you made friends with. Now? Forget it. Nasty, selfish, ill mannered, just like void of any decency. My husband and I have very few friends here, the ones we have we have known for years. Other than that, we keep to ourselves. Just yesterday morning, I was at our complex’s gym. The office is closed on Sundays, security is nowhere to be found, and one other girl in the gym with me. A man was banging on the door to be let in. You’re supposed to have your own key. I shook my head no. He gave me dirty looks & rolled his eyes. He was also pacing in front of the windows looking in , kind of staring at us, that made me uncomfortable. He comes back with his key fob, walks right up to me while I’m on the treadmill & starts berating me because I wouldn’t let him in earlier. I said, Sir, it’s a safety issue. I don’t know you. There’s another girl in here & if something should go wrong, I am the one responsible because I opened the door for a stranger. He keeps yelling, talking over me, I repeatedly asked him to get away from me, he called me a b and walked to other side of the gym. I left & my husband went down and had words with him. My husband now has to go with me when I workout, at least for the time being. He believes the guy was on drugs, just crazy. And he lives here in the complex. Great. I thought since it is a higher end place, it would have better quality people. Nope. How are these people passing the background checks? It gets worse every year. We moved away when covid hit and then moved back summer of 2022. I seriously regret coming back here. Fatal accidents every day. Garbage people, it’s not the same. You had to be careful before but it wasn’t this bad. It’s hell now, I hate it. 😢 Oh and get ready, summer is coming so that means get ready for your vision to be assaulted by the 500 lb. , tattoos everywhere, booty short wearing trash. I saw a few over the past week when we had a few warmer days. Butt cheeks hanging out , tatted all up & down the legs & arms, massively overweight & had a child or two with them. That’s their mother? They walk around like that, risking negative attention & bringing their child into that dangerous situation. I see it more & more here. Just disgusting.

You must be a miserable individual

As someone who moved from Huntington Beach to Henderson, NV (Vegas) I couldn't disagree more with the quality of people statement BUT I suppose the activities and location in this tiny area matters a ton too. My wife and I are professionals and so are the friends we have made. Through sports we met such good friends that I just never experienced in Huntington Beach. Instead the last year or so before leaving the city changed from one where people waved at you on our walks to the beach to one where no one looked up to say hi. I felt like the snobs who couldn't afford Newport moved to HB changing it from the charming beach city to a disconnected one. Not sure if you actually live in Green Valley part of Henderson due to the photo you used but I do say Summerlin is kinda like the Vegas Orange County, maybe give that a try. Green Valley seems nice and Cadence as well. Literal Vegas is a city I do not ever plan to live in though (Summerlin technically Vegas but they don't act like it wanting to be the city of Summerlin). Just went back to LA for a wedding this past weekend and it always reminds me of how glad I left. Although I do miss being a mile from the ocean, I do not miss the rat race feel of CA along with the homeless that are attracted to beach cities. We love taking trips to explore all parts of Utah since it's so easy from Vegas.

GVR is just like Irvine...but much cheaper

New to your channel. I'm actually a life long NYer currently in Vegas as we speak looking at potential condos. While I am not quite ready to move, I know that NYC is not in my future. I'm 50 years old, single, so not worried about schools however as I inch closer to retirement quality of life and safety become big issues as well as property/income taxes. My short list of cities is Tampa, Boca Raton/Ft. Laud area and suburban Vegas. However if I could afford it, Irvine CA would be perfect. Just such a great blend of "niceness" in suburbia but you're only an hour south of filthy LA if you need some urban in your life! Since I can't afford Irvine, Vegas is looking good. Summerlin and Henderson are beautiful areas. Although I haven't experience a full Vegas summer yet, NYC at 95degrees with 95% humidity in the middle of August is about as disgusting as it gets.

You sir are talking about the 5%...the 95% of us will Love Las Vegas Compared to the Crap Shot CA is and Will be. It's like me saying, I hate my 911...its low and loud, can't see over your typical small SUV, doesn't give me Civic MPGs, and is kinda expensive to repair.

He's right about the low quality people (NEAR THE STRIP), but Las Vegas is nice if you go to Henderson, Green Valley, Summerlin or Lake Las Vegas, you can find some good quality people there. What you should do is keep Nevada as your no income tax home base. You got screwed over by California once, don't go back, it's not worth it. Live in Vegas and just "visit" California for less than 181 days if you must. LV has a big airport and you should take advantage of that, go to San José del Cabo in Baja California 🇲🇽 as a second residence, that place is beautiful and not too far away for a flight or explore other areas, it's probably a good idea to start exploring countries outside the "Rules Based Order" seeing how things are quickly going down the tubes.

The beauty of your path as a successful YT creator is that you can't really foresee where it will take you five, ten, or twenty years from now. Successful day traders have the same kind of problems you have, except without the audience and influence because not all successful day traders have YT channels. And while most people might not prefer the uncertainty that your success and lifestyle brings, it's that uncertainty that saves you from monotony and complacency -- the two most common causes of dementia. Plus, you aren't forced to work alongside nor contend with the general rabble and stupidity of the masses, which means you don't have to deal with aggravation and frustration on a daily basis like most people do. In fact, as long as you can become enthusiastic about learning new things for the rest of your life, there really shouldn't be a problem aside from the occasional down day, which no one (not even billionaires or supermodels) is exempt from.
