 The Toyota proving grounds near Wittman is pretty
much right in the way of the sleepy farm and horse
town of Buckeye. Right now there's about 8-12,000
people there. Oh, I'm sorry, that was last week. Now
it's about 35,000. There are currently 140,000-- read
that again-- homes planned and being constructed RIGHT
there. There are homes all over a former piece of GM's
area in Mesa, and every other proving grounds is
threatened by what's going on here. A year ago I lived
on 10 acres in the country, with 9 Arabian horses.
Then Phoenix decides they need it. The city line is 20
miles east of me. Now I'm in a trailer park with 2.5
acres, after 3 moves in a year.  We're buying one acre
with the money 30 miles out, and guess what? Just as
soon as we get set, they approve 40,000 more homes
right there. Tiny Buckeye has annexed over 600 sq
miles of planning area. Phoenix, 6th largest metro
area in the US, has like 435. The proving grounds will
go to CA and Nevada. Arizona is gone. Now there is
some sort of Knot's Berry Farm or something here.
 I know where there's a California City in Missouri,
just north of the Arkansas line.
