Let me think..one aspect of cities spills into the countryside when full up to the detritus level. The Phoenix area has got to be in the tough 3..where the fallout moves form back east. Then there are the "police towns" like Sedona where you work for nothing and are expected to gather your 2 cents and give it to the next wealthy person passing. Costs up there are prohibitive...paid by a wondersome bunch of cheapskates that will luck out with a penny on a dollar. Housing is impossible. The situation deplorable how much one has to pay for a place to live and how much one can earn....Of course one will say its the vortex...lifted upside down, its the vortex of a pocketbook being turned over...this is living on the edge no matter what education level you have you are treated like...well, the words go beyond me.
