Sprawl Sclerosis Hits Arizona Big Time

Beyond Sprawl: The Southwest Zombie Problem | KPBS.org: "PHOENIX — Homebuilders have long made a living expanding the edges of Southwestern cities. But look around these days and you’ll find construction projects that have screeched to a halt.

Up to 1 million lots in Central Arizona were in some stage of approval for new homes when the market crashed, according to the Sonoran Institute.
