A fascinating rundown on all the home building going on in (formerly) sleeepy Pinal County, south of the Phoenix area:

The population of Pinal County, which has about 250,000 residents, is expected to grow to about 1 million in 20 years.

But housing analysts say that for Pinal to continue to grow and entice people to make the commute, home prices in the area must stay lower than much of the rest of the Valley.
