>Too much growing for a desert location with little water.<< No question environmentally. I personally would not want to live here with a population of 9 million. Developers destroy everything they touch (then rename the development after what they destoryed). We don't need any more McMansions in places called "Desert Highlands" or "Mountain Shadows" any more.... I agree. As for McMansions, I don't think any place needs them. They started building these three story monstrosities here. Fortunately, they didn't sell well and the developer responsible for them stopped. Take away the sub-minimum wage labor pool for builders and construction grinds to a halt. That's a good thing if you're either an environmentalist or have any concern about the future of the state. I also think AZ was too dependent on the construction trades for employment. It needs to diversify more.
