"The broad attention is showing the world what local leaders have spent the past half-century trying to prove: This desert city can be a major player in global tech and manufacturing."

But putting the water shortage in the very last sentence of the story? Seems like burying the lede.

It's funny people think there's going to be a nice future where you can choose to live in Phoenix or some other fine place surely with plenty of water and no consequences from climate change or fascism.

It's pretty much solarpunk or die when it comes to future anything.
