Tucson AZ Sucks: December 2017

A Terrible Place To Live

I started this Blog to help travelers and people in tucson see what I have seen over the past 10 years, All I could find on the internet were Pictures of Mt Lemon( which is partially burnt down), The desert Museum, Sabino Canyon, Neighborhoods North of River, and Saguaro National Monument. This only represents 10% of Tucson, The majority of this town is completely run down, crime ridden, and down right disgusting.

I was born and raised here, over the past 10 years I have watched the town I once loved change astronomically, It is a terrible place to live, and an even worse town to try and raise a family.

It is a great place to live if you enjoy carrying a gun in your waist, dealing drugs, and robbing innocent people, if this is the lifestyle you choose to live than you will feel right at home here in Tucson.

The Summers are unbearable it gets to be 120 at times, with very few activities for relief, there are some resort pools to cool off at, if you can get a room, if you do they are discounted so much in the summer that the pool is filled with low life's and drunks.

There is truly no relief from the heat you are a prisoner in your own home during the day time hours, you are forced to go out at night when it is cooler, needless to say this is when the majority of thugs, gang bangers, and drug addicts roam the streets.

We do not have any sports teams to watch, everyone down here makes a huge deal about a college football team (The Wildcats) a total joke! They tailgate down by the U of A before games, it is sad to watch this town try and do it like the big boys (AZ Cardinals) up in PHX.

Tucson has a terrible problem with the homeless population, they are not like trendy homeless kids they are like, scary, drug addict mentally ill homeless people. They flock here due to the dry climate and warm winters, in the dead of summer they move into Psychiatric facilities and shelters, in the winter they roam the streets and stand on traffic islands panhandling.

If you are thinking of moving here "DO NOT DO IT" If you live here and are thinking of leaving, get out before it gets worse, or you end up dead. I will be leaving here real soon and never coming back.

Most Dangerous City in the State!!

While the past two decades have brought a steady decline in violent crime across the country, a recent uptick suggests it might be back on the rise. With that in mind, 24/7 Wall St., a website that offers "insightful analysis and commentary," reviewed data from the FBI Uniform Crime Report to figure out the most dangerous metropolitan area in each state. According to the website (and apparently the FBI) Tucson ranks at the most dangerous city in the state, with a violent crime rate of 421 incidents per 100,000 people.

In Recent news!! 12-23-17 Merry Christmas Tucson

Tucson fire crews responded to a report of an unconscious pregnant woman in a home on the south side of Tucson Saturday morning around 4:30 a.m. Officer Chris Hawkins with the Tucson Police Department says it happened in the 1500 block of W. Calle Guadalajara, northeast of Mission and Ajo. When crews arrived at they immediately began giving medical aid to 19-year-old Jasmine Vega who had obvious gunshot trauma. She was taken to a nearby hospital. Shortly after she arrived at the hospital Vega was pronounced dead. Hospital staff were able to successfully deliver her baby. The baby is currently alive and being treated at the hospital. Officers at the scene say there were bullet holes in the residence that appeared to have come from outside. Multiple people were asleep inside the home and woke up to the sound of Vega screaming. It is unclear whether specific individuals in the home were targeted by the shooter outside.

Illigal imagrants are everywhere, they smuggle drugs to Tucson from mexico, it is dangerous to hike outside tucson for fear of comming accross a drug runner A February 2011 report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) underscores just how serious the problem has become: GAO estimates that the Border Patrol has operational control of less than half of the southwestern border – just 44 percent. Sophisticated and especially brutal drug cartel operations are reaching into Arizona’s border communities, and many areas of public lands have been put off-limits because of the increased violence. Obviously, Arizona’s border needs to be better secured.

Found this writen by someone who did exactly what I am about to do they are so correct....

As I leave Tucson, for the last time, I wonder what's wrong with the city? I have finally figured out the answer.
Lack of Innovation.
Everything that Phoenix are does right, Tucson thinks "we don't want to be Phoenix." So they do the opposite and drive away more opportunity.
Everything that was proposed to improve the city socially is voted down.
Everything that once supported the city gets alienated and leaves.
Every improvement to infrastructure proposed gets denied.
Every large project that could do something to boost the economy is too expensive.
But knowing Tucson's average resident they don't care, and will say don't let the door hit you on the way out. Which will prove my point.
To the young people thinking about making Tucson home, move along, it took me 7 years to figure out there is nothing here. I lost tons of money here... Even when the economy was good this city was just overpriced stucco and chicken wire houses and strip malls. It's a shame with the mountains and the "green" desert the city could be truly unique and draw tourism.
