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)

This has always struck me as odd too, big cities in the desert. I’m thinking of Las Vegas or Tucson in the US.
For these places, water is the main issue, and one that is unsustainable.
There’s an old saying about water in the American west: “Whiskey is for drinking, water is for fighting.”
Given current use, there’s gonna be a lot of arguments and court cases soon enough.
