Phoenix is a monument to man’s arrogance

It truly is. I had to go there for work once and the entire time I was there I was thinking this exact phrase. just .... WHY.

I've only been to the Sky Harbor there in a layover and the brief walk off the plane into the airport made me wonder why anyone chooses to live there. Just blasted by dry heat that feels like it sucks the moisture out of your eyeballs.
