Rusty Lyon, the mall developer who changed the way Arizona shopped, dead at 86. “People who worked with Lyon remember him as a kind and friendly man who was often the smartest person in the room,” pens Catherine Reagor, whose piece in the The Republic looks back on the life and career of this “visionary developer who saw metro Phoenix’s growth coming and launched most of the area’s most popular malls.” http://bit.ly/2dZhY5q

Construction unemployment rates improve in 32 states. AZBEX looks at the results from the “analysis released Monday by Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC).” So how’s Arizona doing? Click through to “[v]iew states ranked by their construction unemployment rate, their year-over-year improvement in construction employment and monthly improvement in construction employment.” http://bit.ly/2fa7VbJ

East Mesa golf community homeowners take destiny by the horns: Course purchase may be lesson for others. “Threatened by the sale of their 27-hole public golf course, about 400 of the approximate 2,430 Sunland Springs homeowners banded together and bought it from owner Farnsworth Companies in January for $1.19 million.” And now these homeowners plan to build some condos and a strip mall on the course. Joking. Details of the deal, in East Valley Tribune. http://bit.ly/2frSfnp

Pollack: Arizonans more confident in state economy since 2007. But before delving into Arizona’s “confidence,” the Monday Morning Quarterbackhands out the horrifying facts surrounding the Affordable Care Act, and then asks the timely question, “How’s that for a scare?” U.S.: Jobless Claims, Real Gross Domestic Product, Decline in Consumer Confidence, Consumer Sentiment Index, Manufacturers’ New Orders, S&P/Case-Shiller National Home Price Index. AZ: Unemployment Claims, Consumer Confidence – Residence of Maricopa County vs. Pima County [See Chart], Case/Shiller index for Greater Phoenix. http://bit.ly/2f6GsK7

2 kinds of homebuyers are driving a surge in home sales. “According to the [National Association of Realtors] annual profile of homebuyers and sellers, published on Monday, 17% of first-time homebuyers are single women. That’s more than double the rates for single men…. [And, the] number of first-time buyers increased to its highest level since 2013. NAR’s chief economist Lawrence Yun weighs in on this “rebound” of “first-timers and single women’ — at Yahoo Finance. http://bit.ly/2frKEFq

Buyers in the West drive home sales up in September. CNBC’s Diana Olick looks at why home sales are “flying off the shelves… out West,” despite “some of the lowest inventory in the nation and the highest prices.” http://bit.ly/2f9GMoH

A ‘State of the City’ Address, City of Maricopa; Growth & Opportunity Abound for Retail, Homebuilding & More. When we posted this invite last week, we overlooked a significant starting-time misprint: The event gets underway with a HAPPY HOUR at 4:30 p.m. NOT 4:30 a.m., which would be wayyy too early, even for those with huge drinking problems. So, once again, for RSVP info — (actually, for the ENTIRE invitation, complete with date and correct starting time) — click here: http://bit.ly/2ezmeb1

Superior Court sides with Scottsdale in athletic club eminent-domain case.“[The] lawsuit against a local tennis club owner [Robert Hing] who refused to sell [1.5 acres of vacant land near Indian Bend and Hayden] for [use as] a fire station is headed to the Arizona Court of Appeals after a… judge ruled that Scottsdale can take ’immediate possession’ of the land.” However, AZCentral notes the following possible monkey wrench: “While the court rulings represents an early victory for Scottsdale officials, the judge also suggested Hing’s property is worth more than the city had offered based on its appraisal.” http://bit.ly/2frLzWE

Early voting trends feed Democrats’ hope of splitting Arizona Senate. “The strong showing for Democrats, coinciding with a depressed turnout for Republicans… creates a combination of circumstances vital for Democrats if they hope to make gains at the Legislature.” For some “[u]nofficial early ballot return” numbers, along which Legislative Districts Dems must win in order to “split the chamber,” click through to Arizona Capitol Times. http://bit.ly/2frRtqs

Arizona Dems seek court order blocking voter intimidation. Can attorney Mark Ellis back up claims of “planned voter intimidation [and ‘suppression’] tactics by the Republican Party and the Trump campaign”? Or are these allegations [lodged in a suit filed yesterday ‘in U.S. District Court’]  without merit because, as GOP attorney Tim LaSota maintains, “the stuff we’re talking about is legitimate poll-watching efforts”? Capitol Media Services’ Howard Fischer looks into it, in Arizona Capitol Times. http://bit.ly/2eY7OyU

If Prop. 205 passes, Arizona would get a department of marijuana; Ryan Hurley, Director of Rose Law Group’s Medical Marijuana Department, calls the agency ‘the most streamlined way of handling licensing and registration.’ The official name of the agency? “The Department of Marijuana Licenses and Control [a name which doesn’t exactly evoke “PARTY TIME!”] “[It] would be tasked with setting up rules and regulations [and] would also take over regulating medical marijuana…” More about this new agency (and more from Ryan Hurley) at Arizona Capitol Times. http://bit.ly/2fedeFc
