Jennifer I agree with every single point you make. Speaking as someone who never really cared about politics until about 10 years ago there is a DANGEROUS trend that threatens the AZ you mentioned: Many people move here from CA but still bring their CA voting habits with them and it's having a negative effect on AZ. The CA voters chose a particular path for that state then move to AZ because they don't like the results they voted for (higher taxes, more regulation of business and personal decisions, expansive welfare state and all the rest) that their politicians produced for CA. If you want to escape the consequences of your CA government then don't move to AZ and vote for more of the CA sameness !!! Its bad enough the voters ruined CA but there is a serious chance of repeating those errors in AZ !! Don't vote for more of what you moved here to escape !!! Stay in CA or move somewhere similar like OR or WA if you want a toned-down version of CA's dysfunction.

You can't compare a small state like AZ to CA, let's be more realistic and compare it to blue states like Michigan, Minnesota or New Mexico. You'll find there really isn't much difference in taxes and cost of living. What's happening in California goes way beyond right or left and more into a massive homeless crisis and general overpopulation which is causing a massive influx in housing cost.

@@TeamXXJustin I agree with you. California is struggling with a population that has likely reached 40 million people. Arizona has 4 million. If you are in Arizona you can't relate to what California is having to do, with 1/10th the population. California transplants in other states are used to better services and they want to see other states do the same. Arizona has problems with its roads and its schools were nearly taken over by the federal courts some years back. It was the last state to have a state forester (1966) and the state forestry agency seemed to be an afterthought, placed in the State Lands Department. After the hotshot crew was killed on a state fire near Yarnell Hill in 2013, they were taken out of the Lands Dept. and it looks like they are trying to improve the agency. The employees deserve to have a chance to improve the agency. Arizona had almost no laws addressing subdivision land sales back in the 1960's and 1970's and a good share of fraud resulted before some decent laws were put in place. I guess that is considered control over people by some, but it was a big scandal at the time. I lived in Arizona for a time, working for the U.S. Forest Service and saw the results of that era.

It’s also why they are opposed to voter identification, so these illegals can vote and vote multiple times for their savior Democrats.

You need to understand that in the 1930's-1960's period people were coming to California from all over the U.S. and foreign countries. That is why the urban areas of California are overcrowded. The longer term population, which I hesitate to call natives, wasn't big enough to drive the state toward the nearly 40 million person population it has now. Starting around the 1980's the technology boom brought in people from all over the world. I think between about 1960 and today much of California was ruined. However, this a product of population increase and since no one is addressing that looming problem everyplace is subject to that degradation. If you focus entirely on California for this, you miss the target.

Awesome. My wife, 2 kids and I are about to move to Arizona. Our contract closing date is March 9. We wanted to buy a big 4 bed 3 bath home in California but it was impossible. This type of home in our area would cost us about 800k to 1 million. Possibly even a little over a million if it is a big 3k+ SQ ft home. The mortgage payment for such home would be well over 5k/month which is impossible for me to pay. Guess what? We found a beautiful big 3,300 SQ ft 4 bed 3 bath home in Casa Grande Arizona for 397k! And it has a 43 panel 95% estimated energy offset solar system. The California life is beautiful but it comes at a huge cost. I make about 75k each year and that's not even enough to buy a small 2 bed 1 bath in LA county. Hopefully we fall in love with Arizona like you did. We're excited and waiting anxious for march 9 when we will get our keys!

@@Atlanticmoonsnail Thank you! Not only do you say Huntington Beach is not representative of California, it's not representative in its own county. Interesting. I tried, in another post, explain the higher taxes as also getting better service. The higher gas tax includes about 18 cents that is being used strictly to address deferred, backlogged maintenance. The whole country is struggling with deferred maintenance because cars are getting far better gas mileage and there are an increasing number of electric cars. The result is less gas tax revenue with more travel on the road. The California legislature passed this tax increase and the voters later upheld it. In my travels I'm seeing deferred maintenance being done. Caltrans is targeting bridges with the first of this money. I drive to Arizona at least once a year and spend a week or two with family. Sometimes I go in the spring and fall. The roads are crumbling in some areas. U.S. 93 and U.S. 95 has been pushed by both Nevada and Arizona for becoming Interstate 11. Some of the recent 4 lane projects on 93 in Arizona between Phoenix and Kingman don't appear to being done to interstate standards. This is a heavily traveled road and the state is going very slow on getting it to 4 lanes. The states and the federal government are keenly aware of this falling revenue/increased miles traveled dilemma, but the feds aren't doing anything about it and only a few states have. Meanwhile, things like interstate bridges collapsing over rivers and other safety issues are not addressed.

This is an urban area California compared with an urban area Arizona. I lived in both Arizona and California rural areas and I prefer the California rural areas. We live in the Sierra Nevada at about 8,000 feet. We like the numbers of streams, rivers and lakes. Arizona's rural areas have very few watercourses and no alpine lakes. Our property taxes are lower than in Payson, Arizona, one place we've considered moving to to get closer to our family. The services in rural California are better than rural Arizona counties. The county we live in funds and manages a 24/7/365 paramedic units at 4 locations in the county. The volunteer fire departments have more state oversight and are better than the average volunteer fire departments in Arizona. This is partly due to the strong fire mutual aid system in California. The state forestry agency in California is better than the one in Arizona, with California having far more inmate fire/emergency incident crews. It is the strongest such program in the U.S. The state's Office of Emergency Services is one of the best in the nation. The ability of law enforcement, fire departments, the state forestry agency and the federal government to work together on large disasters is incredible. My career, with the U.S. Forest Service, gives me the ability to evaluate these services quite well. Of course, for fires and disasters California necessity is the mother of invention, this made obvious this summer and fall in the state. California's universities are very good and available all over the state. The county roads are better. The state highway system is better and we have better snow removal on county and state roads. We drive Arizona highways and county roads at least once a year in Arizona. Arizona's roads are deteriorating badly. Arizona has not addressed the falling fuel tax revenue dilemma that most of the nation is facing. Yes, in California we pay more in fuel taxes, but a large portion of it creates a fund to address backlog maintenance, a program that is in bad shape in Arizona. The additional fuel taxes in California help fund the highway patrol and emergency medical services for state highways, medic units and volunteer fire departments. Other county services such as planning, zoning, code enforcement, public health, behavioral health, animal control are better. Each town has a county built and maintained community center. Building the community centers, especially the newer ones, required some fundraising by citizens, but the bulk was county funded. These centers are available for large groups to hold events, such as luncheons, dinners, family reunions, community service groups, wedding receptions and similar, with large kitchens on site. The highway patrols in each state are very good. The court systems at the county level are probably similar, although counties have more court locations outside their county seats in California. The county volunteer search and rescue teams in Arizona are pretty good, but in California there is more state oversight of these and I think that is good. Arizona's three state universities are quite good. U of A has a great medical and nursing school. I graduated from Northern Arizona University in the School of Forestry, an outstanding program. I received a great education and loved the campus life. Having far more people in the dorms than many, maybe most, of California's commuter student campuses makes for a great college experience. Arizona is a fantastic for scenery, with the Grand Canyon being its centerpiece. For a canyon, no place in the U.S. or probably the world can top it. The Mogollon Rim country in Arizona is wonderful. There are other national parks and monuments that are fantastic. The remote Arizona Strip County is wonderful. California is more diverse with Yosemite, Death Valley, Joshua Tree, Redwood, Sequoia-Kings Canyon and Lassen Volcanic National Parks, as well as Point Reyes National Seashore, the highest mountain in the lower 48 states and great state parks and beaches. The national forests in California, something I know well due to my career with the U.S. Forest Service are far more spectacular in California. The comparison of the state park systems in each state doesn't even come close. Although the addition of Kartchner Caverns is a big kudo to Arizona. If you like snow, like I do, there is far more of it in California. Arizona's largest two ski areas are not on the world class levels of many of California ski areas. The Sierra Nevada is one of the three major mountain ranges in the lower 48 and the mountaineering is fantastic. 95% of the people in California live in urban areas. The state seems to be far more well known for those areas, but that leaves 5% living in the larger, rural portion of the state. I don't like seeing just urban area comparisons when comparing states. If I was forced to live in a metro area, I would much prefer the greater Phoenix area and Tucson than anything I can think of in California. All in all, you get what you pay for and if better services require higher taxes then I'm Ok with that.

Better politics? Is that why in the last 20-30 years two governors either resigned or were impeached because of crimes they commited, some in office and some before office? Better politics?

A friend of mine, whose Hispanic family has lived in California longer than it has been a territory of the U.S., was stopped and hassled in Arizona. Arizona politics, is that what caused an investigative reporter for the Arizona Republic, Don Bolles, to be killed by a bomb wired to his car? Arizona politics? Is that why Arizona's highway system is crumbling due to the deferred and backlog maintenance problem not being addressed. Arizona politics? Is that why Arizona is last in line for Colorado River water and if state allocations are cut, Arizona gets nothing while other states keep theirs? What are the governments doing to address water use issues? What are they doing to address air pollution problems? Every location you can name has some "interesting" politics and some dirty laundry pushed away so you can't see it. I've lived in 4 states, have family in one Midwestern state and everywhere you go humans are fallible. EDIT** I forgot to mention, but was reminded by another post here. How about the years where it looked like the state's K-12 schools might have been taken over by the federal court system? It seems as though the low taxes caused reduced funding for the schools and they fell below the line in some standards.

Yes! While everyone is moving out we are moving to a more affordable place there. Can't wait to get out of AZ! Summers are terrible and have progressively gotten worse.

Quite f'n true. This isn't anything new either. Californians have been falling for the Arizona sales pitch for decades. My parents fell for it when I was a child in the early 90s and I have been stuck in this overheated dustbowl since. I am currently working on positioning myself where I can escape back to San Diego county soon.

Because it is cheap! The taxes are cheap but the schools are very bad. The teachers don't even have to have a degree to teach. Jobs pay very little!

Thank you for pointing that out. Arizona schools were wrapped up in a court case some years ago and the federal court system was close to taking over the schools statewide.

@elitechrstn Absolutely! Probably the most significant issue the federal courts cited with Arizona K-12 education was the lack of funding. I recall that tax rate increases were blocked by, among others, older, mostly retired people. Very few people think about the cause and effects of taxes and government programs. Example, the fuel taxes are higher in California. Some of the revenue supports the CA Highway Patrol, availability of EMS services on highways, especially those located in rural areas and addressing backlog or deferred maintenance. Arizona has not addressed this backlog and the highways there are falling apart. If fuel taxes are low, then the roads will suffer. California's fuel tax increase was put on the ballot and it passed. The majority of the state's voters were willing to pay more.

@elitechrstn Yes, that is a very common observation and comment. I met some Caltrans folks after a meeting held to see if highway improvements could be constructed to reduce deer fatalities and vehicle/wildlife collisions. They told me the gas tax increase funds are scrutinized heavily to make sure they are used for backlog or deferred maintenance only. The agency has been documenting the backlog for a few decades now, so they have the data and have a very specific plan. They wanted to make sure there wouldn't be any problems with how the money is spent. Locally the state agencies are doing a great job with what they are given. State parks are not funded enough to do the job that should be done, with loads of deferred maintenance and needed facilities not being built. The CHP and Cal Fire assist local agencies to the point we need them very much. The CHP helicopter program is outstanding and is used to support rural counties.

Looking at your picture you appesr to be black. Before you vote for Biden have a look at all the terrible things he has said and does to the black community. Also dont forget the democrats fought very hard to keep blacks and women from voting before you had those rights. Please research the history of the democrat party and Biden before you vote for them. "Theyre gonna put yall back in chains". "If you dont know if youre for me or Trump, then you aint black" -Joe Biden.
