It is not surprising that Nevada and Arizona have the highest foreclosure rates in the U.S. It seemed that many residents failed the stupid test when they decided to buy a cheap home in the desert.
At least with Nevada, they had Las Vegas. For the life of me, I can't understand why people would move to the Arizona Desert. I guess a lot of people are now agreeing with me and are just walking...no running away from their homes there.

I suspect that those cheap homes while figuratively in the desert aren't actually in the desert but rather just another cookie cutter cul de sac community built with the same materials as other cookie cutter cul de sac communities meaning that they are totally inappropriate for life in the high desert. Now if I could find a cheap environmentally sympatico home in the desert where my nearest neighbor was miles away, I might give it some serious thought (although I would have to divorce my heat adverse wife first).

go ahead and divorce her... You'll enjoy living in that environmentally sympatico Maytag box...
People actually work in the desert states...you do realize that Phoenix is a very large city....don't you? People have to live someplace other than a tent.
Why would someone choose to live on a cliff made up of sandy loam in CA? Or to live in the fire country of CA? Or someplace that has mudslides every season? We are very diverse and choose to live in places we love or sometimes where we work.
The foreclosure rate is because money was being handed out like there was no tomorrow for people who could never afford a home to buy the cheaply built houses that millions of foreign cheap laborers were brought in to build. It didn't just happen in Nevada and Arizona. California also suffers from a high foreclosure rate and an excess of cheaply built houses, as do states like Michigan, Illinois.

You forgot people that live in trailers in tornado alley. All would seem to have failed the stupid test.

Arizona and Nevada are number 1 and number 2. I don't care how cheap the house was I would still would not buy a house in the desert.
