Scottsdale Getting the Squeeze

The cries of sorrow are getting louder from some corners of Scottsdale regarding the growth of vertical real estate on the city's east and west sides. The Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community will vote next week on construction of a 15-story resort on the edge of Scottsdale. The proposed resort could partially obscure the McDowell Mountains from Scottsdale, and the resort will definitely siphon off locals and tourists seeking entertainment. Growth on the other side of the city's border is one of the biggest challenges facing Scottsdale. Our city leaders need to recognize this now and plan accordingly for tomorrow.
