Johnson County estimated to become the largest county in Kansas City

There was an interesting article in the Kansas City Business Journal about how the County Economic Research institute estimates that Johnson County Kansas is set to become the largest populated county in the Kansas City Metro by 2023 (based on projections from the Mid American Regional Council).
If that growth holds true, that is good news for long term housing appreciation in Johnson County. While the growth would obviously be hinged on employment growth... The real key for Johnson County is not losing site of services such as schools, roads, and crime while be able to keep property taxes at reasonable levels. If the county were to lose site of those key elements, all the employment in the world would only make Johnson County a place for great jobs while the surrounding counties would thrive as commuter counties.
