#12Incredibly backwards politics and laws are some good reasons not to.
Care to share any specifics?
Seems safe to assume he is talking primarily about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona_SB_1070

#13Isn't Arizona the state where anyone that looks non-native may get harassed by the police? [1] No thank you. --- [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona_SB_1070
I think that's every state, including the ones where it may not be legal.

Also, the death weather and the very sketchy water situation.
Only 3 months of the year are very hot, mainly jun, jul, aug. The rest of the year is quite nice. Also, due to low humidity it is much nicer, than say places like Florida, where it isn't just hot, but also extremely humid.

check out NYC stop and frisk racial profiles
landslide blue state + being a citizen doesnt help, apparently.
An analysis by the NYCLU revealed that innocent New Yorkers have been subjected to police stops and street interrogations more than 4 million times since 2002, and that black and Latino communities continue to be the overwhelming target of these tactics. Nearly nine out of 10 stopped-and-frisked New Yorkers have been completely innocent, according to the NYPD’s own reports.

#20Submitter here (and an Arizonian native):
I know we receive a lot of bad press for our politics. I will not speak for the many people in my state, but I will say we are pretty diverse, and a lot of us agree with you. Boycotting us does not help the issues we have, I believe that staying here and fighting helps a lot more.
The site was made to show a different side of AZ, and I think the discussion here proves that it is needed. We have our bad stuff, but we also have a lot of great stuff (just like anywhere else).
