Expansion and improvements at Westworld have been held in check by the politics of the region, and that doesn't even bring into discussion the airport and possible restrictions there. I would say even if the Coyotes are successful in getting the land (I think they fail) this doesn't get off the ground for at least another five or more years. Tempe will seem like a walk in the park compared to the can of worms they open up in Scottsdale.

It's worth noting the land is actually inside Phoenix city limits. Not in Scottsdale.
