In the L.A. basin, the San Gabriel Valley in the more affluent towns has tons of neighborhoods with impressive tree canopies that almost look Eastern or Midwestern. Native oaks, conifers and some eastern deciduous trees. The trees form shady canyons. South Pasadena, good parts of Pasadena, San Marino, Sierra Madre, Altadena, Claremont near the colleges etc. Not as many palm trees as you would see in Bev. Hills. Palm trees are NOT native to L.A. basin.
Similarly, the palm trees lining the Embarcadero in San Fran. are stately but look more like SoCal. The nearest native palms are probably 400 miles away in the Colorado desert near Palm Springs. |

For instance, rivers with lower water levels cannot carry sediment as far and can rob the regions downstream of nutrients. They also cannot hydrate wetlands down stream as effectively which can threaten countless species. This can cause the desertification and erosion of large areas of ecosystem. The lakes/rivers also may not have enough extra water to recharge the water table which can deplete the reserves for times drought. I don't know the situation in Arizona, but the question of "How much can we use before it runs out" is always just one of many aspects to consider when it comes to consuming natural resources. |

Just because it’s an arid climate does not mean it’s unsustainable, again the oldest human cities and civilizations are from the same kind of arid climates |

I'd like to participate in this thread, but I'm not sure what peoples' preconceived notions of Pittsburgh would be.
I mean, should I show intact Victorian rowhouse neighborhoods? Or upper-middle-class urban enclaves? So many possibilities. |
