Well of course if the city limits keep stretching all the way to Flagstaff we will forever be one of the fastest growing cities.

That's not to far off. Actually, our urban sprawl is heading south and east as well as west towards the White Tanks. Although I think the Gila River Nation might limit development down south.

My overall prediction is that Black Canyon City, Wickenburg and San Tan Valley will no longer be rural areas by 2020. Less desert, more pavement and fugly stucco houses

I believe his sarcastic tone is referencing how spread out Phoenix is. Black canyon could almost be reference as Phoenix.... Eek

It really depends on what kind of growth. If, for example, people are fleeing other more expensive states without a job, then that's bad. If, on the other hand, good jobs are attracting people then it's great.

Well you can add 3 more to the population as my family and I are moving from Thousand Oaks, CA to Anthem at the end of June. Calif is going to hell in a hand bag.
