Phoenix doesn't have a huge skyline but at least it's got something. I just saw it in the opening of 1998 movie Psycho and it has changed quite a bit from then. It could definitely be a lot better though.
Here's a pic of one of those planes everyone's complaining about.

Phoenix is kinda "limp" in terms of major CBDs, but you know what, it doesn't need a huge CBD to be successful and it's already well over 4 million people, so clearly something is working. It's a business town, but before that it's a recreation and retirement town, so maybe that's a key difference. PLUS, in this day and age many companies can telecommute and don't need to be located right next to their clients/vendors/competitors, etc. They can locate anywhere, and prices are cheapest outside of the CBD. LA and Phoenix get it, the rest of the country is slowly doing the same thing. I think that needs to change again though because the value of face-to-face communication is priceless and computers and technology can't replace "real" business interactions. JMO!!!
