Phoenix is poo poo. The only people who move to Phoenix voluntarily are the ones who visit and "love the weather", except they don't. They love the fact that it doesn't snow, but otherwise they hate the weather. Hence why they spend every waking hour in air conditioned buildings, or in the shade with misters running, or in a loving pool. They've inverted the natural order of things from "it's cold, seek heat to avoid dying of hypothermia" to "it's warm, let's run a heat engine in reverse so that it's bearable", and they waste water wantonly in the middle of a desert. Also, golf. Well-kept fields of grass and desert climate mix about as well as chocolate and pickles. The traffic is poo poo, too. The entire area is a collective delusion clusterfuck that, like any bubble, will eventually rupture under its own weight, a paean to urban and suburban excess: its ugly houses will serve as a cautionary tale, the fossil record of a million forgotten fiefdoms. I guess the streaming sunlight is nice if you don't mind skin cancer and premature aging. Kick out the whiteys (remove mayo?), return it to the natives who actually knew how to survive in a desert (in some way other than "pretend it's southern California and hope no one notices"), let the urban heat islands slowly waste away and be swallowed by the dust and shrubbery. Then Phoenix might once again be a nice place to visit.
