Phoenix is in the top 5 fastest growing cities in the entire country Places like Havasu falls, a beautiful hidden oasis in the center of the Grand Canyon that I used to backpack into every year….I may never see again in my lifetime. This is because due to the population increases in the past decade, now the campground reservations for the year (and you are only allowed to reserve for that year) are instantly all booked the second they come up. I’ve tried to get them…and all I get is a busy signal trying dozens of time per hour for days until finding out when I finally get through that they are all gone Watering holes like Fossil creek that I used to be able to just go to on a whim, now require reservations farther and farther in advance, and look more and more like assembly line tourist attractions When you climb the tallest mountain in Phoenix and look down, you can see a thick cloud of smog sitting on top of the city. A cloud that gets thicker and denser every year Now yes, a lot of those people coming are people fleeing high cost of living states like CA like locusts, spreading to devour a new state and then move on again But also, Tens of thousands of El Salvadorans and Hondurans were bussed form the border into cities in my state in just the last few years alone, thousands at a time. I paid close attention each time I saw local news report on it, on the few occasions they heard about it. And that’s just the ones moved from overcrowded holding centers, who knows how more are crossing our near-useless lack of a border undetected….into my state Pics from a place I may never get to see again [You must be logged in to view images.
