Here's what two local experts had to say about wealth and income inequality in Phoenix, Arizona.

We have very hot summers, however the people are warm and friendly. Phoenix has a poverty rate of about 33 percent fueled by high rates of alcoholism and drug addiction. Many areas are undergoing gentrification, so it is not unusual to see nice homes right across the street from smaller shack like houses. Downtown Phoenix creates an even greater puzzle; expensive luxury high rise apartments looking down on homeless people sleeping under benches.

For one, this is Phoenix, Arizona. It is hot, dry and it is always very bright out. Good housing at a decent price is difficult to find here and there are a lot of homeless people walking around. It isn’t always their fault though, some of them have mental illnesses that are not getting treated correctly.
