AZ Legislators Again Try to Address Housing Issues, but It’s Simple: Build More

We have spoken frequently about the issues of high rent in the region, and the need for more housing options. The extreme bill that was introduced into the legislature that would have nullified city and town zoning capabilities died a swift death.

Phoenix Lets Dembow Off the Hook – Now It’s Up to Voters to Push Him Into Retirement

Litigious Greenburg Father Won’t Go Away, Again Showing Why He Should

Ohhhh, the Greenburg Family: as content creators, we must admit that they are fantastic muses when it comes to creating articles of interest, disgust, outrage, and general intrigue. But as Scottsdalians, we can’t help but be disgusted that they are still somewhat relevant. We have spoken at length about former Scottsdale Unified School District Board President Jann-Michael Greenburg, who while … Read More

It shouldn’t come as a big surprise to regular readers that we are not particularly big fans of Paradise Valley Councilman Paul Dembow. From the unconscionable action of stealing a cross from a grieving family, to his entirely unnecessary decision to run for a 4th term, to general issues with demeanor and charges of improper dealings, we believe that he … Read More
