How old is the satellite view? Has anybody been by there recently? I'll admit I looked at the brochure and it (Quay Valley) looks like [vaporware].

Plus I'm just a bit perturbed with these must-be-generated-by-an-algorithm locational names. A quay is a wharf (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wharf). And the only water around is coming out of a pipe. And a "Quay Valley" is some sort of malapropism, especially in geographic context.

"Quay Hays" is the name of a developer involved with the project.

(I had said he owned the land but edited to the above because I don't know if he owns the land or not)

Ahhh... Well that makes me feel marginally better. But Hays Valley has a nice ring to it -- why couldn't they have gone with that? :-)

It is pretty recent. I drove past that (and then turned east on 46) about a month ago and without water its pretty much reverted back to desert.
