I don’t know - I moved from California to Arizona in 1996 and right now I am extremely pleased to be living in the state where our Gov’r has had the “gonads” to stand up to Obama where Law Enforcement is IMPORTANT! And we have the best Sheriff in Joe Arpaeo...So, #1 on my list is the grand canyon state of Arizona!
They need to make a list—”What’s the least liveable state for illegals?”.
Leah, I’d give my right arm to move OUT of Arizona! Yes, Jan and Sheriff Joe are giving the feds the middle finger, and I do appreciate that, but after being born here and living in Phoenix all my life, I STILL HATE THE DAMN HEAT!
I know, I know...you don’t have to shovel heat. Still, I get tired of living like a mole for 5 or 6 months of the year. Utah looks really good to me, maybe Texas.
Arizona is #1 in cojones, to put it in terms that the illegals understand.
Lived in Scottsdale several years and loved AZ!!! The light is fantastic and Sheriff Joe is my hero!!!! Most of the year it is so nice, but summers are too hot. Don’t like the snake/scorpion look-out but you can manage it and the gardening/vegetables/circumstances is not good. Easy to get Vit. D, for sure. I even saw snow twice but not enough to cover the ground.
I lived in the bay area for years. California weather there is beautiful. Lemons/oranges are wonderful...gardening is excellent. Best place to have young kids play and explore and have sand box and water play. Everything is close—beach/mountains/zoo/parks/museums/ice rinks/ etc... Loved it there...but the politics and taxes are the worst.
Agree with ALL you said! (Except the D’backs stink this year) :-(
