Why does the US have huge cities in the desert?

1.39K views

Las Vegas, Albuquerque, Phoenix, etc. I can understand part of the appeal (like Las Vegas), and it’s not like people haven’t lived in desert cities for millenia, but looking at them from Google Earth, they’re absolutely massive and sprawling. How can these places be viable to live in and grow so huge? What’s so appealing to them?

Air Conditioning. If somehow air conditioning vanished these places would empty out real quick.
