A house is worth peanuts without water, this should be priority number one when purchasing a house. We should avoid cities and move closer to mountains where the rain will provide enough stream.

Plenty of cities have good access to water. It’s why most of them were built where they were in the first place. And for the most part, it’s the way you have the least impact on the environment.

Plenty of cities have good access to water. It’s why most of them were built where they were in the first place.

That’s the way it used to be.

Take the Rio Grande:

Water restrictions ordered in Rio Grande Valley as drought persists

‘The actual lake is gone,’ Zapata County judge says

McALLEN, Texas (Border Report) — The two largest cities in the Rio Grande Valley have implemented mandatory water restrictions as water levels in two reservoirs hit near-record lows due to an ongoing drought.

Rathmell gave Border Report a tour of diminishing Falcon Lake on Thursday, and at the time advocated that cities downstream in the Rio Grande Valley should be forced to conserve water.

Rathmell said that Falcon Lake is basically no more. It’s just an area where the Rio Grande river runs through.

Cities will become traps. It was convenient before but now it is becoming a death trap, don’t purchase a house there, you become dependent on someone bringing food and water to you. If you are in the business of searching for a house, avoid cities.

You’re cherry picking your examples. Most cities still do have great access to water. And that “dependence” is called civilization. Everyone has their own jobs to do so that we’re not all each our own homestead living off grid. It’s more efficient and resilient that way.
