Ok blunt and to the point. I have lived in Phoenix for 17 months and do love it here. Why the low stars? One reason. I live near Chase Field. I have written my local councilwoman, the city, etc. no one seems to care about the distaste that roams the sidewalks during our sporting events scalping tickets!! I can not walk 100 feet from my parking garage without being bombarded by these people yelling at me to buy their (what I would I assume) illegal tickets. Does it not take revenue from the venues? I have read the laws. They are supposed to be corralled in one spot off the venue property. I can tell you first hand they do not. It's like an episode of the Wire. They have young kids pulling people out of the ticket lines and dragging them across the street. All this in plain view of the police. Get with it Phoenix. Clean it up. It makes our city look ugly when people visit.
