Tempe and Phoenix should be the focus, even add height to Chandler, Mesa and Glendale.

Scottsdale? Its a high end suburban area and restaurant/shopping district. It does not want nor need high rise condos.
Most of Scottsdale peer cities around other major metros disagree - they all have height. Some even higher than 150ft. I think its only a matter of time before some upscale project tries to differentiate itself from the others by going higher than 150ft and then it'll be a race for the tallest in a notable city.

They could bulldoze all of old town Scottsdale. There's nothing remarkable about it other than the cheap touristy crap the mostly vacant shops peddle. The bars and other retail will easily find home in the retail of the new mixed use coming to replace it.
