Anyone else find it ironic that the councilwoman moved from Los Angeles to Maryvale and the area continues to see more crime, urban decay and worsen its reputation in the greater Phoenix area? This is exactly what people mean when they say “Don’t California My Arizona”…

Maryvale has BEEN ghetto. The Maryvale park is closed during school hours because people were constantly getting shot and stabbed. Your car would get stolen at church down the street from there to.

the 50s and 60s were just way more pleasant for most places. I would suspect it went downhill with immigration as it always does.

Maryvale went down when Sky Harbor International Airport expanded, they relocated all the gang neighborhoods into the area.

They need more cops to bring down crime. Then business can actually go there. Well to do families and families who can actually make a community thrive don’t want to live in an area with high crime. Fund the police!

Grew up in Maryvale in the 70's and early 80's. We moved the hell out in 1982 because the decline had started and it was becoming unsafe, now it's a war zone and just blighted.
