As it stands this city is a national embarrassment. It's exactly how NOT to plan a city. Almost nonexistent high density zoning, almost completely car centric and not to mention a looming water crisis that is getting worse by the day that was not taken into account whatsoever. This all comes from a person who wants to really love Phoenix and even had plans on at one time moving there.
It's America's fifth largest city, yet one needs a car to get everywhere and as an added bonus pay astronomical rents as an added bonus. Nearly two grand for a one bedroom rental then needing a car to get anywhere to and from there, no thanks... However; am optimistic and do look forward to seeing more mid-rise and high-rises being being developed and coming online as opposed to block after block of boring, unsustainable, overpriced poorly planned single unit dwellings as this city learns from its mistakes.
