for me this is one of the coolest cities that i’ve ever been, although i’m not quite sure about moving there or not, because some people say that this city it’s extremely racist, specially with mexican americans like me, can somebody tell me if this is true or not?

Yes, you are …
Yes, you are correct, but relative to other large cities, Phoenix’s areas aren’t as bad. I moved here ten years ago from Santa Barbara, which isn’t too far from L.A. The ghetto areas in L.A. make Phoenix’s ghetto areas look like gold. Santa Barbara is paradise, but I love Phoenix.

Nice promo video, …
Nice promo video, now you should show the areas around south Phoenix and up in the norther part. I find it funny when people who move there move away a year later because they though it would be all golf courses and sun. Az is beutiful but Phoenix is like any other big city there are are lot of things about it. No matter how much a bunch of douchbag college students talk it up.

@dethklok11792 …
@dethklok11792 Hottest chicks yeah some. Girls in Phoenix are lousy. Some just cheat. Have no respect. I’ve met people here but they just use you and expect u to pay for everything and drive everywhere. No were else in the country or when I lived in Euorope are people likethat. They always offer. Arizonan’s most are just lowlifes that are going anywhere.
