Small Version of L.A.
-
7/27/2009
Generally speaking...if you like big cities and you like the desert, the Phoenix area is a pretty decent place to live.
With that being said, it's slowly but surely turning into the next L.A. Everything is very much car-dependent. A light-rail system recently opened, which is nice, but it needs to easily be 10 times its current size to be practical. The vast majority of the metropolitan area is good old fashioned urban sprawl at its finest. Which, in my opinion, is a bad thing. What's the point of living in a "big city" when it's extremely difficult to take advantage of the city life?
