No place had cheaper water than AZ. We have plenty of water. The state has 3 trillion gallons in storage - more than any other state. As far as the most liberal area I would say either Tempe or Tucson. I live in Tempe, a couple blocks from the Mesa border, and it is home to ASU, the largest university in the U.S., and is liberal and well run. Tucson is home to the U of A and also liberal based on voting but I don't know too much about it.
