It broke my heart to leave a home I custom built for my family. With the mayor of Tucson (closest city to us) going full on libtard and the writing on the wall, it was time to go. I heard a rumor that they had to redrill the wells around Tucson down to 1400 ft from 1175. Within the next year, we will see property values plummet across the deep SW US. From Vegas south to the border.

Forum Administrator 07/05/2022 10:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I honestly don't know why anyone would want to live in a desert urban area. A small town? maybe, but the desert is just so inhospitable, and the carrying capacity of the land is so low. Not for me, but to each his own. I will admit, it is beautiful on a full moon night.

From Vegas south to the border. Yes, definitely. My cousin lives in Tuscon and I was very tempted to move there. I'm in love with a certain poet community in Hermosillo Mexico, south of Tucson, and wanted to live closer to them. Then it hit me, there's not enough water there to supply all the people who live there, and if the system were ever to break down, it would be horrible. I LOVE the desert, and the heat. At least I got to enjoy a little of it. |

No allergans? Definitely no mold. The water supply is in plastic bottles and luxury resort golf courses. I still believe that they are siphoning the water from deep drilling pipelines. The booms? Did they just stop or did they stop using explosives? Americans need to understand that they are at war. |

That and Florida but I think Arizona has more seniors that retire there. Monsoon season is coming or Arizona's in monsoon season now, didn't look it up but it will (hopefully) bring in a deluge of collectable water. |

Including those that live in deserts that were converted to suburbs that people started watering artificially with very little rain like Los Angeles. IMHO LA will eventually be a death trap as you most likely have to cross a desert to get out of there. People should be thinking about moving to areas of the country where it rains regularly and there are rivers and lakes nearby. |
