I get New York and Chicago and LA and Boston and New Orleans and San Francisco. These are cities that make sense. I even get the reasons why Las Vegas exists, perverse as they are.

But what possibly justifies the existence of Pheonix Arizona?

    It's just, it's a desert. Like the indigenous people of the southwest had the good sense to carve their towns into the sides of cliffs or build big communal buidlings next to waterways with lots of ways to mitigate heat. But Pheonix is just... like if you built a whole bunch of Ohio suburbs in the middle of the Nejd.

      Indigenous people were/are too dumb to figure out that sprawling concrete heat traps with golf courses in the middle of some hot ass desert is optimal design. Are you saying there might be something WRONG with Western Civilization?
