Mesa runs old and wide. Dobson Ranch and the 1970s tracts have reached the age where angle stops seize, disposals quit and sliding doors stop rolling, usually in the same year. East of Val Vista the citrus streets have bigger lots, block walls and gates that have taken forty summers. Downtown Mesa and Lehi carry genuinely old housing stock, so plaster, odd framing and hand textures turn up and get quoted as what they are.
