I don't spend a ton of time on the westside, but my sense is that your impression is accurate. My guess on causes would be some combination of: (1) West Valley suburbs are 10-20 behind the East Valley, having boomed later on average; (2) more money/job centers in the East Valley; (3) differences in municipal leadership.
