With fast growth comes a whole host of headaches for existing and new residents alike. I would prefer to see SA towards the bottom of these "fastest growing cities" lists if not off of them. Its great to see all of the development coming in, and I think SA probably has a solid pace of growth right now. If it could stick with it and maybe a little under, it could be somewhat sustainable. Just my opinion, please don't crucify me.
It’s definitely a double edge sword. But, with how much land area SA city proper covers, absorbing the new populous is an easier task than say Philly or CHicago adding that same population in an already dense and built out landscape.
