You should also be careful not to be a victim of crime from one of those dangerous drug cartels that plague and terrorize the Phoenix area.

Did you see the crime stats? Cartels plaguing? Lol

You should come visit.

Why did you post a picture of Papago park? Is that because your city doesn't have any open space? We have a lot of parks, the largest in the country happens to be here. With 100's of miles of trails, all very accessible from the city.

Here's the city, if you want to actually see what it looks like.












Thanks for playing though.

Choose your picks: a real city with a real downtown or a suburban city with not much of a downtown? If you pick a real city: Philly. If you pick a suburban city: Phoenix.

If you think Phoenix doesn't have a real downtown your knowledge is severely lacking. Our downtown, like our city, is growing faster than Philly. And we've got multiple urban cores in the valley to choose from.

I guess the pics above don't qualify as a "real city" to you? Living in a high rise, walking to work, walking to good, arts, entertainment, sports.... you east coasters are downright crazy sometimes.

Philadelphia has the better urban downtown, I'll give you that but most of the neighborhoods are old deteriorated row houses that have been neglected. Narrow streets and sidewalks infested with weeds and trash. It's not only a few areas either, almost the entire city looks like a ghetto.

Look at the racial make-up of Philadelphia, it says it all. Very segregated too.

Phoenix has plenty of faults but I'll take Phoenix hands down over Philadelphia.

Funny you use a picture in Papago Park to try to make Phoenix look like a backwater. Biased much? To make it more fair, use a picture of downtown Phoenix to make the comparison more fair

This coming from someone from San Jose, which is not known for urbanity
