Maricopa County is the place that had the sheriff that was found guilty of criminal contempt for ignoring federal orders. I’m not sure if those sorts of attitudes exist there that I’d be too interested.

But far worse, it’s a desert. Nothing grows there. That should be your first hint to not try and live there.

Fresh water is the new oil. As a business you may be in good shape there as you’ll always be taken care of, as an individual I’d suggest you’re going to get the short end of the stick as supply tightens.

It's not fair to say nothing grows there; Arizona is the world's winter lettuce provider. Irrigation is pretty standard. It makes sense to move water to fertile land.

Not naturally, which I thought would've been implied. You can even sustain a major city in the desert if you pipe in water from other places that are already suited for life on Earth.
