No kidding. I have only been here from California for 3 1/2 years, but Arizonans are different.
1) They are much friendlier than Californians
2) They say what they mean.
3) They carry guns with no permit(don’t need one)
4) They will NOT be pushed around.
I believe most people in big cities are less cordial. They come into contact with thousands of people per day. They simply can’t be as cordial and personal as smaller city people can be.
Try visiting small town California. You’ll be amazed at the difference.
As for the other points, I agree. You know what, California is one or two sessions with Conservatives the majority in the Legislature from turning this state on it’s head.
I think it will happen sooner than folks believe.
