How silly of me to forget the ground subsidence fissures. (The subject of another earthcache if I can just get a good location.) Those things are very bad for homeowners. You cant fix a home once you get one of them on your property. That area is full of them.

this for a couple of years now since I first heard about the prospect of
development out there. I have a beautiful untouched desert out there to fly
my balloon over... I hate to see it all developed. There is already a
developement going in on El Camino Viejo Rd near Queen Valley. The area in
question to the south or west of Hwy 60 is a serious fissure situation
waiting to happen. Look at all the homes that have been and are being built
south of Hwy 60 from say Ellsworth east to around Ironwood Rd. That area and
southward to Queen Creek has had many large fissures open up and consume
small pieces of property... it is just a matter of time before one big
enough consumes a freakin' home. I have seen fissures in that area well
before there were houses there and then they build there... what are they
thinking!? Greed all greed. Build em and the unsuspecting people will come.
Of course, if they come from California, they are use to large scale
disasters like earthquakes, flooding, landslides, forest fires and the like.
Perhaps a little fissure consuming their neighbors home wouldnt be anything
to be concerned about. :) I think the area in question near Hwy 60 south of
Gold Canyon is in a similar situation. The water issue is just another
situation that will have to be delt with out there.
