Basically, the residents didn't want 'HOA's and municipal regs/taxes. Then overbuilt, sucked the water table dry and want Scottsdale to bail them out. Oddly enough, dip-shits were still buying home there for 500K plus even AFTER being told there was no water[0].
I find this really annoying as it adds to the 'Phx is out of water' BS. AZ as a whole doesn't manage water very well, and as a desert - runs out. PHX has had pretty good water management for 50+ years, we have a stable water supply not dependent on the Colorado (tired of hearing that too), and we're using less water then we did in the 1950s (less agriculture).
Edit: Just checked, my water bill averages about $30-35/month in Mesa, a suburb of PHX.
