I could read a Phoenix address and understand it. I want to avoid the entire state because of a young woman named Renee and also it is lowkey horrible

  yeah I actually think they did a really bad job out west. in earlier city development, they brought over the experience of European city design. as they started expanding out, nobody knew what they were doing, but they still had to design cities around the geography. but once you get past the mountains to the flats, where there’s no there’s nothing constraining your design but common sense…you see the results of American exceptionalism.
