Wow! I’m seriously thinking of moving to Arizona! Maybe sanity will finally reign somewhere.
If you're bringing kids, you'd need to look into private schools. Part of what drove sb1070 is that all the illegals are helping to bankrupt our state. School budgets are being slashed dramatically and it's a lesser quality school system than we hoped.
If not for two factors, I’d move there too (if my wife would go, but she agrees with my two reasons not to...)
Those two factors:
1. We’d probably have to empty our savings to sell our house here in MD
2. Too far from family
And no guarantee we could find jobs either...esp. since I’d rather live around Prescott or Flagstaff than in the desert concrete jungles of Phoenix.
I am too. Very seriously.
