It is just South of Arcosanti.

Buncha old hippies.

Cordes Lakes is an area of poor retirees and on the fringe people. There is nothing there, not even a lake.

“Arcosanti offers an alternative to current urban dilemmas and at the same time seeks to re-establish contact between people and with an undisturbed landscape. Arcology is a methodology that recognizes the necessity for radical reorganization of the sprawling urban landscape into dense, integrated, three-dimensional towns and cities. In this book, Soleri discuses why the city structure must contract and miniaturize in order to support our complex economic, social and cultural activities, and to give individuals a new perspective and renewed trust in society and the future. Soleri skillfully engages the reader in a lively discourse, showing that the city can be a humane, healthy, dynamic, stimulating place to be.”

This is where I got started on that:

https://www.amazon.com/Arcology-City-Image-Paolo-Soleri/dp/0262690411/ref=sr_1_4?qid=1656471323&refinements=p_27%3APaolo+Soleri&s=books&sr=1-4&text=Paolo+Soleri

Did not end up as an Architect though.

Now I’m in favor of living largely in 2D, though with plenty of local gradient [the elixir of Youth...].
