Oh, I know. Lottsa nice folks live in AZ (some of them don't even own a gun, not that I care one way or the other). It's a beautiful state and I enjoy driving my SC over to Sedona when it's cool and have friends who live in Prescott and Tucson and love it. Don't understand why people who love the SW and can afford to live in Scottsdale prefer it to, oh, say Santa Fe (yeah I know, it gets colder there).
I live in California (what's Kalifornia?) and neither love nor hate the state, per se. Plenty of places here that some people consider shyte holes too; Riverside, El Centro, et al, whatever sinks your boat.
I do love living on the Pacific Coast in the only Mediterranean climate (year 'round) on the continent and can afford to live here and weather the state's ills that drive so many into leaving.
Different strokes for different folks. Couldn't pay me enough to live in AZ though...or, for that matter, to live in a multitude of other places in this country.
