My brother and I were born in AZ. He stayed to fight the good fight. I bailed.
I’m sure we’ll talk about this in our next conversation, but neither of us are terribly politically active. My reasoning about leaving in general is that I would have to stay and suffer the crazy that is culture in Phoenix just to be able to be on the losing side of all the votes. No thanks.
I don’t think AZ has done one good thing with water, ever, in what I know about from school and the news, so I’m skeptical about headway on this issue. It IS called the copper state, and I think that says something about state identity and cultural priorities (think mining). Although I think golf is more important now, at least in Phoenix metro. Again. Water. Sigh.
