Why do we build cities in the desert?

456 viewsOther

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)

It’s cheap. Outside water, there are lots of resources. History of inhabitants for a long time make it a population center over time. Some people like the heat over the cold. Someone else probably has a more through explanation lol
