Canuc-
I think the West siiide has some great pockets.
-Some pricey pockets too!
There are certain areas that are great areas to live!

I think most make the mistake of lumping all of the West side into one hat.
I think areas like the Maryvale area give the whole West side a bad name.

I love the Westgate area. The prices are nowhere near $1,000 a sq ft yet.
-More like $300 actually!

There is a lot of ignorance with mainstream Scottsdale mentality.
I have a habit of poking fun at Mesa but I do it in a light-hearted way.

I think most of the people in this particular forum simply want fellow Phoenecians to embrace the idea of moving back to the inner city/ core. (Urban movement)

Just cause we're from Phoenix doesn't mean we should all support sprawl! (Even if our father's generation of polititians did)
There is something fun and cachet about high-rise living. I just went to a design center with a buddy who I sold a condo to at Century Plaza and he cannot quit talking about how cool his life is gonna be there!
We don't all have to have the same exact tastes to appreciate eachothers views.

I for one notice the good areas of Glendale. -And I like your observations of those who ridicule the West side! Typical!
