I understand in a post AC world that cooling is not the issue. However, I dont understand why we make cities in deserts when water consumption is so great. How do cities like Las Vegas supply so much water.
Even if they have access to water, why would you want to build a city where temperatures are so brutal. The same goes for northern cities in Canada to be fair.
(I am Canadian so sorry if it is an obvious answer)

Cities are actually very efficient at using water. It’s a very common misconception that cities are the primary water users. Agriculture, by far, uses the most water. And it’s not even really close.
The much better question is why do we do so much agriculture in the desert?
