RRancher, you are truly careful with your words in this forum. Thanks for expressing it diplomatically. Let's make it 3 sq miles of 'tall' buildings.
As for Tucson extending beyond 200 sq miles, I think it will be more difficult these days. It will be as difficult as building a crosstown freeway (east-west) in Tucson. Urbanism is pretty much the trend these days all over the planet. Looks like cities are in the downtown revitalization craze. Suburbs will still be around but not that significant.
Got excited about the possibility of a chain grocery store downtown. Used to live right besides a grocery store in the same block (of all places, Phoenix)... that was a delicious time.
@andrewsaturn "... Also, it doesn't say in this story but Tucson News Now did mention before that if these investors decided to commit to helping downtown, it would be worth an additional 2 billion dollars. ..." . Maybe, more high rises?
