Good morning, Scottsdale.

Maricopa County police are investigating the shooting deaths of two Valley teens found near Mount Ord early this week, and the Department of Child Safety has ordered a foster group home provider to stop work after whistleblower complaints.

In Tucson, neighbors confronted suspected immigration officers posing as TEP personnel—while a recent Point in Time count shows rising homelessness and forecasters expect a drop in the high 100s with increased rain chances this weekend.

A study found that nonprofit arts and culture programs generated nearly $711M in economic activity in the Valley in 2022—showing their strong impact on local growth.

A new report from Resume Now lists 13 jobs that are unlikely to be replaced by artificial intelligence because they need a human touch rather than a college degree.

ASU professors found that over the past 20 years, the Lower Colorado River Basin lost as much groundwater as Lake Mead holds due to drought, urban growth, and agriculture.

The study suggests stricter management rules — declining water levels in reservoirs and aquifers warn of future shortages.

Scottsdale investors are using hard money loans to flip properties quickly in a market where home prices are rising fast — these loans offer rapid approvals and flexible funding that traditional banks cannot match.

This strategy enables buyers to renovate distressed homes and secure competitive deals in a time-sensitive market.
