The explosive growth of the West Valley is, in one way, good for downtown Phoenix. (And I'm not referring to the fact that the West Valley did downtown a favor by taking the Cardinals off our hands.)
The fact that the west side has grown so much means that at least geographically, downtown is now back as the center of the metro Phoenix area. Companies now have more of an incentive to locate in central and downtown Phoenix as their workforces now commute from both the east and west sides of town. And people living in downtown Phoenix can get to either side in a flash. I just got back from Tempe (Apache and McClintock) in 16 minutes. Believe it or not, it's 30-35 minutes to faraway Surprise from downtown.
Just one more reason why it's great to be downtown.
