Phoenix.

I would not have said that. Does that surprise everybody as much as it did me?

Nope. You can swim and golf many days of the month in Phoenix.

Plus the state tax laws are very generous to citizens

Not saying it's not a decent place to live. Got a good friend there...he wasnt golfing today since it was 100+ and supposed to pour...but he loves it.

I guess I should have been more clear, my point was, if you were asked to name the 5 most populous cities in this country, would you have named Phoenix?

Atlanta has a lot of suburban sprawl. Are they judging suburbs as part of this?

And no, I would never move to Phoenix. My one friend thinks it is becoming gay friendly, but I haven't seen it. Extremely hot and lots of old people. I don't care that it's a dry heat either, so is an oven.

I've lived in Scottsdale over the winter for 6 or 7 year now and I've never seen a rattler, scorpion, enormous spider, or killer bee in the time I've been there. On the other hand I've have lots of cute little gecko lizards that are a sign of good luck dashing around the place. Also an occasional coyote and bobcat. Bunnies and quail too, which explains the coyotes and bobcats...

The desert is an acquired taste. Having grown up in Oregon with forests and ocean beaches nearby it took me a bit of time to appreciate the desert but now I find it quite charming. As for the heat, it is what it is. I don't disagree with the lack of ambiance. Phoenix is changing a lot due to the record growth. It's getting a bit like LA in so much that the air quality is really suffering, a lot of strip malls being tossed up and it's getting a little crowded and squirrelly. If you're going to put up with that, at least in LA you've got the beach and great cultural opportunities to take the sting out of the lesser aspects. Frankly Mrs. Nightfly and I are actively looking at a move to Tucson where it's a little cooler on average, lots of activities due in part by having the University of Arizona in town, it's something of a foodie town and there are some really stunning desert estates on the market. Unfortunately, no Portillo's, Lou Malnati's or Giordano's (i.e. Chicago suburb) in Old Pueblo, but no worries, I've sort of taken a liking to Sonoran hot dogs.

I'm sure one is one too many for xenophobes like yourself so why bother asking? Oh that's right, you haven't owned a lib today... Guess what? You still haven't.

I would have placed it in top ten but not top five. But again based on what I mention I can see the growth to be in the top 5.

Back 50 years ago, it was New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Detroit all over 1,000,000. Cleveland and Houston were close. The rest, a bit behind. Vegas was maybe 50,000 or so, if that.
