Meanwhile the entire west and southwest is in an epic drought. Experts no longer consider it an anomaly and are woke that this is the new reality. The hoover dam water level is at 1070' is losing 6ft of depth every month and is 110' (950ft) from where it will no longer produce electricity.
The western drought is of biblical proportions and residents, businesses, farmers, governments will be forced into draconian water reduction mandates and rationing.
Meanwhile Phoenix, Tempe and Vegas are the poster childs for single family home sprawl.
When and how will this end?  And why would any sane, intelligent company locate there? |
As you said, this is the new reality and it will only get worse from here as the planet continues to heat up. Considering Chicago's mild climate and its location on the shores of 20% of the world's liquid fresh water, I'd say we are looking better and better with every passing year/decade.
