There is truth in some of that.
And before some self-loathing liberal attacks me for this, I just want to say that I have nothing against any of the above... I'm just telling it how it is.
I am not impressed with Tucson at all: it has all of Phx's drawbacks plus a few of its own (lower wages for blue collar workers, terrible roads/public transportation, etc). Besides; several Gay people flat told me that Phx is a Gay Mecca compared to Tucson.

As the saying goes, there is some truth behind every joke, and that site is no exception.

My thinking too.

I moved from Ulster County, New York to Yavapai, Arizona.
The save-the-world and I've got a liberal arts graduate degree too crowd was much easier to negotiate than those whose light goes on at the mention of Glocks, overhead cams, RV's, and Jesus.

I would suggest to the conservative (and mostly sarcastic) posters please refrain from giving any opinions about where liberals would want to live. You obviously don't know what a liberal really is and seem to be operating on some level of ignorance of them and proud of it. Please do everyone else a favor and go comment where someone is asking where conservatives would want to live. I promise you, I will not be posting there.

Why would you bump a dead thread for your statement?

P.S. You would love Quartzsite, AZ.
