I get New York and Chicago and LA and Boston and New Orleans and San Francisco. These are cities that make sense. I even get the reasons why Las Vegas exists, perverse as they are.

But what possibly justifies the existence of Pheonix Arizona?

    I'm inclined to think something running over salt deposits makes it salty. Perhaps not noticeably to the human tongue, but did you see plants growing in it or near it as one is accustomed to seeing on land?

      I mean, yeah? The intermitent part of the river down from the dam is very lush. Like even if there was much salt in it it can't be worse for plants then whatever got the Indian bend wash turned into a Superfund site. Those are like underground salt deposits, in mines.
