Moving from California put a tremendous amount of pressure on the housing prices in Denver. And then Salt Lake when Denver got too expensive. And then Boise when Salt Lake got too expensive. And then Spokane when Boise got too expensive.
We're literally running out of cities in the west.
- dougmwne 4y agoHow about build some new cities that allow high density and public transit? I swear Americans always think they could never survive without free parking. You are absolutely not running out of land out west.
- onychomys 4y agoLand is cheap, water is expensive. Where would a new city get water from?
- dmitrygr 4y agoDesalination is a well developed process. Just ask Israel. They now export fresh water
- dougmwne 4y agoSimple, build this new city next to a water resource, not a desert and build it from the ground up to be low water usage. Manage runoff and limit single family home zoning with large yards. I bet you could make it several times more efficient than the average water usage of just about any other US city and every new resident would take pressure off the water resources of existing cities. How can the answer to “the west is running out of water” possibly be “more suburbs please”?
