A city as sprawling as Phoenix is going to be relatively low-density. The trade-off is that you get to drive everywhere, say from one end of nowhere to the other.
There is no need, let alone demand, for super-tall buildings in Phoenix. Unless the developer is an egomaniac, the market dictates what gets built. BTW, downtown San Diego looks vastly better than it did 30 years ago. It used to be a dump.
