Arizona is "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" kind of car-brained in way that makes this sort of apples and oranges; a slice of NY cheese v. the corner piece of Chicago deep dish.
Where I was raised, roads are all in nice neat orderly rows, and you're never too far from a gas station. Everywhere worth going to is worth going to by highway.
The 101, 202, and 303 loops connecting US60, I-10, & I-17. A mountain on the skyline you can navigate by. Or drive to get away from it all at the Lowell Observatory, Saguaro National Park, or our impressive canyon. Don't get me wrong - nice universities, fun science center, a ballpark, etc.
A sort of city simulator game fractal masterpiece in my opinion. But for most daily life - life is one air conditioned box to car to air conditioned box, with the occasional stop for gas.
Hollywood, Universal Studios, Disneyland Golden Gate bridge, "water", coastlines, smog whole spaces that do their own thing at assorted densities - plenty of great drives and about as infamous as some of the worst, too. California car-brained is just a fundamentally different monster (I've enjoyed my travels to and through the state, including our shared river ~ but alas I cannot speak to the daily fare of life there)
The difference is like bread vs beer. 😅
