Now it's 9 times that give or take, and still growing. Ditto for other arid parts of the SW and Socal. People just keep filling the places up beyond capacity to support them and there's going to be a huge water crisis in that region in coming generations, one that makes this drought look like a pleasant spring rain.

phx is a nightmare that is coming true. don't forget all the fires that obliterated the phoenix forest, which was fundamental to the ecosystem there.
it's a natural weather shitstorm of a location with zero local resources and a huge sucker of resources from elsewhere, like the colorado.
all for phoenix? one of the shittiest places to live in the US.
