>> 100 days of over 100F heat is going to kill you I don't know whether you know this or not, but you don't actually have to be out in the 100F heat all day if you live in Arizona. Somebody has to shovel the snow, though, if you live in the places people move to Arizona from. Otherwise your car can't get out of the garage. Sometimes you can't even get out of the front door. No robots do that snow shoveling thing yet, when they do, sign me up. That's still not going to stop the drain of people from Michigan or say upstate New York to Arizona.

The economy doesn't stop because it's hot out. People still exist outside all summer in Arizona doing construction, delivering packages, working in warehouses without climate control, living in open air prisons, etc.

> No robots do that snow shoveling thing yet, when they do, sign me up. No robots, but you don’t really need to exert yourself to get rid of snow. Self-propelled snow throwers with heated grips and a cab are a thing.

I have a setup similar to this, using it about as much effort as walking a small dog. > That's still not going to stop the drain of people from Michigan or say upstate New York to Arizona. Good, more fresh water, natural splendor, cheap housing, mild winters[0], and beautiful fall colors for us. [0] To be honest I’ve only even used that snow thrower maybe thrice in the past 2 years in southeast Michigan, winters are getting warmer and warmer every year it seems. The river barely even freezes any more, we had enough snow to cover the grass for maybe 2 total weeks last year.
