Arizona is its own hell. The majority of the populated areas was laid out post-WWII when air conditioning was a given and cars were fully enclosed. As such, it's the goddamn surface of the moon from a pedestrian perspective. And they're super big on their shitty freeway concrete. Swear to god, nobody gives as much of a fuck what the pattern on a goddamn overpass is as the fucking Arizonians. I guess it's because the urban landscape is an undifferentiated hellscape of brown boxes and branding. Seen Rollerball? Imagine that as an urban design ethos and you have Arizona.
