Certainly affordable home values played a part in the growth, but Phoenix was already the 6th largest city, (now the 5th) before that period. Believe it or not, many move here because of the weather, not in spite of it. The affordable home pricing had nothing to do with it being "miserable", it was because new home builders created a massive supply and pricing only rose as demand finally caught up with that supply.
I live in an area that consistently ranks in the top 20 areas to raise a family in the US. I enjoyed many aspects of living many years in So Cal, but know that I wouldn't have wanted to raise a family there.
If you want miserable, try being completely upside down in your home as everyone leaves your area and it becomes a virtual ghost town.
