This thread is getting weird and with a lack of understanding; There's absolutely no reason to have a negative attitude to people wanting to buy water. I grew up 5mins from the largest shopping center in the southern hemisphere and we still had to occasionally buy water when there was a drought since we were on a rural stretch of road just off the main highway.
You don't have to live far out of town to have no town water. The pipes don't go far out of city/town limits at all.
You always get periods of prolonged drought even in otherwise perfectly reasonable self-sustainable properties.
This isn't some "HAHAHA suck it libertarians" attitude. This is a "anyone who lives slightly outside of town wanting to buy water and being told no" type of situation.
- lokar 1y agoI don't have a negative attitude towards people who live off wells, or local surface water, or some place that sells it to tank back. What I have a negative attitude towards is developing housing in an area of the arid western US without access to water. Water rights (the right to buy water) has controlled development here since before statehood. It's very simple: you don't develop without water rights, it's irresponsible and puts an unfair social burden on others.
