Phoenix is a place that many like to go to in the winter for the snowbirds. It can be dangerous in a way.
If you are not prepared for it and stay out too long in the sun it can be dangerous. Most know not to stay out in the desert so there is not really that much of a danger. You can get dehydrated.
Sheriff Arpaio is famous in Arizona and the U.S. I don't really mind that he does the illegal immigration arrests myself. They should really be doing more as they do in other places. But there is the danger of someone else getting put in jail and for women. He had trouble before for going overboard on the women. There was a camera so it said in the ladies room. That is all not good. I asked one in there and she didn't feel mistreated now. There were protests and that seems to have gone down now. You still would not want to be in there. I am not sure if everyone is out in the heat. The police force can also be kind of obnoxious.
Phoenix had one year been named the worst drivers in the United States. I am not sure if they have the same honor for last year. It may have gone down a bit. Believe me they deserve the honor. People have gotten killed walking around with seemingly not much cause.
There are some that are called foodies that like to find things from the dumpsters. There are also the can and bottle collectors for money. It was in the paper that they can be fined for doing that. People in other cities can be used to getting things from there. People especially put out things like clothes and furniture in New York City or LA etc.
This is I have heard a very dangerous neighborhood. Many of the gang bangers have moved here from LA and elsewhere. The police department in Phoenix is not really equipped to deal with it all. This section is not the only bad part but I have heard it is the worst.
I was at first going to list how you can't really eat the oranges on the trees. They are all uneatable for some reason.
