Megasuburb

The plans for a megasuburb in Utah are falling into place as builders have been hired to build the first of many little towns. This piece of land is bigger than San Francisco, and will not be fully developed for about 50 years. The plan is estimating a half million residents will someday live in the 162,800 houses. American's are apparently welcoming the idea of a planned community outside a metropolis; when the builders began selling the houses, they sold about 40 per week. Approximately 800 houses have been sold so far.
Is this company setting new standards for suburbs? These communities emphasize connections to the nearby city, and the open land surrounding the communities seems very appealing. Although suburbs are popping up fairly frequently, this is not your average suburb. This company has found a way to make their product no longer homogeneous.
