I lived 3 years in Phoenix. Absolutely hated it. Won't ever move there and I actually avoid it for vacations as well. The weather is atrocious. The weather is only bad for 3 months is a nice sales pitch. But let me tell you that it gets to 100 early to mid May and lasts till September. So that's 5 months. Also, April and October remains hot during the day. In addition, as the article points out, most jobs are entry level jobs with low pay. Phoenix has very few fortune 500 companies, so if you are looking for strategic and interesting roles and moving up the corporate ladder, it is non existent. And the pay is laughable. Other things I didn't like - in your face politics, extremd bro culture, few places to visit, no interesting startup roles etc etc, but you get the point
