I was in Phoenix/ Arizona for the first time recently and I thought the city was alright. Wasn’t dense of course, but wasn’t all that different from other places in the Sunbelt in terms of development. But the heat is no joke. I think dry desert heat is worse than the humid heat people complain about in the South. It’s a more intense heat that can burn you alive if it wanted to. But I had some good Mexican food while in Phoenix
