Mega-developments create 'Sun Corridor' controversy

The Arizona Daily Star

Anthem is symbolic of the kind of development that planners and environmentalists love to hate but that many home buyers simply love.

It is at once self-contained and a bedroom community, about 35 miles north of Phoenix near the rural settlement of New River. Nine years after its development started, traffic is much worse on neighboring Interstate 17 and its water costs a bundle, but the community's atmosphere is low-key and laid-back, and the place is loaded with amenities.

Those are the pros and cons as new Anthems are being built or planned by Pulte Homes in Arizona's "Sun Corridor," the booming stretch in which the Phoenix and Tucson metro areas are expected to merge within the next 30 years.
