Phoenix,like every major city has bad areas. The Crystal Palace is right off Van Buren St which is known as kind of a sketchy area closer to 24th St than 44th where HQ is. Yes,AZ has open carry but it’s not like there are OK Corral type shootouts every day. The airport light rail station is about a block away as well if you are a commuting so that would help as well. If you like Mexican food you’ll love PHX. As for Mesa,like others have said,it’s a regional,get in and get your 121 time and move on to a major or LCC.
