Doughterty expresses my thoughts every time I drive through Maricopa on the way to Vekol: "That their savings will be fleeting, since any money pocketed on lower mortgage payments might soon be wiped out by countless hours in traffic gridlock, is lost on the residents who flock to such outposts." As for the proximity to Kitt Peak, the distance to Gila Bend is 95 miles versus 110 miles to Phoenix. I bet they are more concerned about development between Tucson and Nogales than what's on the already-lost northern horizon.
