I simply disagree with the perception that Phoenix “feels” like the Ie or San Jose. I think that is inaccurate. Not that it’s a big deal Seems to me most people have a very skewed perception of what this city is actually like.

If you want to feel like riverside or San Jose go to downtown Mesa or Chandler in my opinion. Sure they are tiny in comparison to even riverside but that’s kinda my point. Riverside and San Jose (despite San Jose having a decent sized downtown) will always have that vibe of being a satellite and that makes a huge difference in how people there view it and The culture it has.
