A horrible portrayal of Arizona.

Phoenix doesn't have as high of a population density because it's land area is much larger than Northeast coastal cities. So they build out instead of up. It's the 5th most populated city in the US, so it's larger than every Northeast city except New York City. So I don't really have any idea where you were going with your post about calling a city urban based solely on population density. An urbanized area is a city with a population over 50,000. Tempe is considered an urban area, and most of the highly populated area's of Arizona are considered Urbanized areas.


Anyway, the entire Northeast isn't urban, mostly just the coastal areas. There are only a few places where the Northeast is urbanized and not near the coast or Great Lakes. In fact, there are more people in the city of Phoenix alone, then there are for the entire Northeast states of New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island and Maine.


I know this has nothing to do with the OP, but I thought I'd pick your post apart for the fun of it.

even though it is 5 years later i'll have to throw down my opinion. the OP is clearly an idiot.

i'm from texas and you don't see me starting threads trying to explain that most texans do not, in fact, chainsaw people with their inbred sons. most.

Dude it is a movie... not everything in film is completely accurate... Would the film have been as entertaining if it had taken place in real Arizona? Probably not... so stop having a little pity party because you can't laugh at yourself. By the way, have you seen "Fargo"? I come from Minnesota and I assure you, while some people do, Not every person says "Oh Yeah, You Betcha" all the time. And not everything is covered in snow year round. I happen to think both are great films and that you are too caught up in what people think of your shyte state... so lighten up mofo.

Dude,
In 1987, yeah this was a fairly accurate portrayal of AZ and the Valley of the Sun.
And I loved every minute of it.

Ridiculous.

You must be a hoot to hang out with. I'm from Philly and can still laugh at Hollywood depictions of "Philly people". All the people that broke up with you thought the same thing. You're goofy.
