Like going and bugging Californians at their crowded beaches.
Too late, lots of people have already moved to the Phoenix area and the growth isn't stopping anytime soon.

Even with all the growth I don't think Phoenix will ever be on the same population level as Los Angeles, and California will be the largest populated state for a long time even if more people decide to leave.

As of the Census Bureau's 2015 population estimates, the Valley (greater Phoenix area) had 4,574,351 residents, making it the 12th largest Metropolitan Area in the nation by population.

San Fernando Valley population: Home to 1.8 million people, it lies north of the larger and more populous Los Angeles Basin. Nearly two thirds of the valley's land area is part of the city of Los Angeles. The other incorporated cities in the valley are Glendale, Burbank, San Fernando, Hidden Hills, and Calabasas.

The San Fernando Valley is just one small part of Los Angeles, yet it is approaching half of all Phoenix.

Los Angeles County had a population of 9,818,605 in the 2010 United States Census, gobble up Phoenix and spit out a few.

Both cities are steadily growing. I can't envision any future where Phoenix is in danger of catching up to L.A. although there can be no doubt that Phoenix will experience the same growth problems as L.A. has.

And before you reply, I'm agreeing with you!

I think were all very grateful for this fact, even at nearly 5 million now it's getting to be enough, I don't have a big desire to be a top 5 MSA or anything like that.

I wouldn't want to live in PHX if it became that.

Reminds me of the dude who owned both Texas and Hell. He decided to live in Hell and rent out Texas.

I think this post is very disrespectful to the great citizens of the state of Texas and NOT the view of Arizonans.
We have had to listen to Arizona being on the brunt end of " hell" jokes for years.
We didn't tolerate it then nor will we tolerate or support those kind of in sensitive statements now !

We have a Meyer Lemon tree and it is quite prolific, but it only delivers fruit once a year. We got the last of them about 6 weeks ago.

Maybe some people have no sense of humor.

No one was harmed by a joke comparing Texas to hell. Relax.

The Inland Empire alone is more populated and desirable to live in than Phoenix. The IE is a grand spawl of 5 million that connected to LA,OC, and SD's inland suburbs. The weather is less dry than anywhere in Arizona, and the beach is an easy 50 minutes drive if you leave at 2 in the morning. Don't forget to taller and more impressive snow capped mountains that Phoenix lacks.

San Bernardino is LA's Flagstaff and Riverside = LA's Tucson.
