That's the thing. Conditions like that are almost impossible to build a strong fanbase. I think the Phoenix market has a lot of potential and should be revisited in the future if they can get their poop in a scoop. At this point though, I think that franchise has killed their chances for all the reasons you mentioned. If they ever build an arena in an optimal area, give them an expansion team with a clean slate of goodwill, and I think it would work.
