@jerrythink: This is the nicest you'll ever hear me talk about Phoenix 🐦‍🔥 #phoenix #arizona #nativeamerican #arizonacheck #geography

belizairestrikesagain :

Literally no one’s favorite place

Andrew Gossman :

Phoenix arguably is one of the most, if not the most well gridded cities in the country. It’s so easy to navigate.

Dom :

From king of the hill: “Phoenix is a monument to man’s ignorance”

RA Miller :

TL;DR Phoenix is doomed flat sprawling suburban hellscape that will begin to decline once the major corpos that exploit it move on.

Goid Po :

lost an ipod in Phoenix by leaving it in the car. it didn't get stolen, it melted

FalloutFan5150🟥⬛️🏹✝️🇻🇦🇨🇦 :

Phoenix is proof that just because you can build a city somewhere doesn't mean you should😭

olivenboo :

there are an obscene number of lawns and golf courses in phoenix! ridiculous waste of water 😤

Brojack :

one of the biggest problems with the climate in Phoenix today vs the climate that the Hohokam people had to deal with is asphalt/concrete and the heat dome effect that are brought along with it the heat. its bad enough that the days get to 115+, but the fact that it takes until midnight before the air gets below 100 and only ever goes to about 85-95 by morning, only to get baked again.

cravenlunatic :

Seasonal depression in July is so real

Hope 🏜️🫶 :

We’re like the Dune people out here

Joanna :

Urban infrastructure is TERRIBLE, suburb sprawl nightmare. Nothing is walkable, housing is in spite of the environment rather than adapt housing to its environment and its just a concrete jungle without the glamor of LA or NYC

TikToker :

Seasonal depression😭😭😭

Kimber :

Yes!!!! My hometown wouldn’t exist without the indigenous people who conquered this heat and thrived! I couldn’t survive without A/C.

elliot alderson :

america's egypt

tahje.marquette :

I love learning Native history!

thelaurenadkins :

I’m a therapist in Phoenix and I can verify the summer seasonal depression is so real. 😅😂

sherrypmac :

It’s also the largest capital city in the US. I was born and raised here and did not know this. My house is literally on a canal. Fascinating

Paulsible :

lived in Phoenix my whole life and have heard of the Hohokam a bunch of times but I've NEVER had this history of the name and the canals taught to me. Thanks for enlightening me history I probably shouldve learned long ago!

Greta :

They did not face the same conditions as we do today. It used to get cool at night. Urban heat island effect has made it much worse now

WilliefromWestPhilly :

Phoenix is not a city. It’s a large suburb 😩

Sid :

Grew up in Phoenix, have no desire to ever return but this video was super interesting! I have a new appreciation for the city & the natives that built it thousands of years ago

Nick Loper :

@Nick Loper: What no one mentions is phoenix is in a valley that’s a huge flood basin. A ton of water converges here from the north creating a very suitable landscape for farming. It also has a great winter that’s much more hospitable than northern regions of the US. Calling it inhospitable would be similar to calling Chicago inhospitable.

ASTRO ALEXANDRA 🪐 :

This is soooo cool

Sapphireotter :

Also Tucson and Phoenix have the first and third most family owned businesses of any Metro area in the country.
