I think people in Phoenix would fare better if they were willing to make the changes expected for outer space colonization. How many of them would be willing to recycle urine, compost their own excrement, live in caves, become small farmers/yeast growers, only go outside in full spacesuits, repair their own equipment, get used to weird smells, etc.? Civilization, as we know it, can't survive on Mars, Moon, or a space station. Think of them more as pioneers, and like pioneers, they will pay with life and blood every little mistake. Some people would kill for that adventure.
