You can research and report logically, or you can jump on social media, chatter with trolls, and pretend you're a journalist. Scanlon isn't horrible. But he has a lot to learn.
Two square miles of State Trust Land border Jomax Road. The State agreed to sell Preserve land cheaply to Scottsdale almost 30 years ago in exchange for Scottsdale's commitment to allow family friendly housing development on the 1280 acres now to be sold. The State Trust managers have made it clear to everyone in Scottsdale they are calling in all their chits. There will be over 6000 homes built just on the Scottsdale side of Scottsdale Road.
And soon.
The problem is traffic. Where there would normally be at least eight major north south arterial roads in the North Valley, today there are just three. Tatum/Cave Creek, Scottsdale Road and last, Pima.
North Phoenix land on the west side of Scottsdale road will also be sold soon by the Trust. The choice is to add North/South through streets or turn Scottsdale Road into a freeway.
North valley housing demand is skyrocketing. The TSCM plant will.push it higher.
How, precisely does Scanlon think all those.people will get to and from their new homes?
Name another part of the Valley without Major arterial roads every mile. Ahwatukee comes to mind immediately. Ask those folks what it's like commuting In and out of an enormous cul de sac.

Water issues require a long range plan well beyond the thinking capacity of our legislators, who are focused on the next election cycle.
I wish you would link to this opinion from the Arizona Daily Star on the topic of gun control. It is so profound! It deserves wide readership. https://tucson.com/opinion/local/local-opinion-hunting-for-children/article_f29ea072-f021-11ed-98cb-abb1e6158e6a.html
