The reason being is that Phoenix has a very non-dense urban core...that immediately turns into suburban style housing....whereas in the northeast and midwest the suburban style sprawl is quite a ways out from the urban core (for the most part).

Sure some of these developments are more dense than the typical suburban sprawl we are used to, but the most dense neighborhood will NEVER compare to neighborhoods like Over-the-Rhine in Cincy.

That was hilarious! Good eye!

How in the hell did he know his yard was being shot by Microsoft on that day?

Exactly, and keep in mind, many of these shots are 15-20 miles away from the city center ... they just don't build them like they used to
