As a life long Arizonan, I can say that, without even reading the 
article, it's full of crap.

If Phoenix wants to be considered a city of the future, it needs to 
embrace dense urban planning (and get rid of this ridiculous urban 
sprawl), have an actual functional mass transit system, have actual (and 
affordable) entertainment, and be an actually good place to raise a 
family (which means schools that are worth a damn, walkable 
neighborhoods, family friendly entertainment, and a halfway decent 
medical system).

Right now the only thing still anchoring me to Arizona is a decent 
paying job. If that job ever goes away (more like when than if) then I 
will be looking for a better place to live.
