text: Pardon the language nnnGod dammit Phoenix or Arizona for that matter how the hell did you let THIS happen nnLook at it for chirsts sake it is disgustingnnSo what happened here I am not quite sure but apparently to me it was sometime in the late s a couple of well off outsiders moved to town and bought up some land because it was so cheap Problem is though outsiders started bringing their friends and before you knew it home prices started SOARING out of control nnI think it was best when I toured an open house that was selling for somewhere around a square foot then called the realtor out like this So you are charging Newport Beach prices huhnnHe did not like thatnnScottsdale seems to be humorless in just about every way but especially about its citizens collective dream of being Beverly Hills or Newport Beach East You wonder how all of these Arizonians got their money with such a mediocre strip mall job market or if they do not actually have money but are very intent on pretending they do you wonder how long it will last With the Arizona housing market dropping off faster than any other state in the US you can deduce that a lot of people lost a lot of money The Economist nnBut human nature is to hope and believe that things will always be as good as they are right now and operate accordingly so another round of JAGABOMBSnnThen the shopping came to town which nobody could afford and if they did just made them look like an idiot or a clown dressed middle aged manAffliction anyonennFurthermore there is no pride in Scottsdale just watch Arizona has plenty of good sports teams that it is residents can root for but in Scottsdale it is root for the Yankees or the Lakers apparently because the city is at the same level as NYC or LA nnNew concepts come all the time and they close all the time it would be nice for these people to finally admit they cannot afford all the fine things in life all the time and move on instead of embarrassing themselves on the news with another store or concept closure nnFigure it the fuck out Scottsdale I am tired of hearing about all your drama nnAnd no you cannot have anymore California concepts you lost that right after you could not figure out how to run an Oakville grocery which is about as simple as feeding a dog bacon
