Do F-35 training in less populated area

Regarding the F-35, my question is why put this noisy aircraft in either city, Tucson or Phoenix? Both cities have grown too big to host such an aircraft.

Put the F-35 in Gila Bend, where there are 5,000 square miles of uninhabited Barry Goldwater gunnery range available for training. The rattlesnakes don’t care about jet noise, or inadvertently dropped ordnance for that matter.
