Right; just as it makes little or no sense to grow cotton in Arizona.

*Cotton* in Arid-zona???!??

Yep. My wife is a geologist and thinks that anyone buying property in
Arizona is nuts due to the water issues.

She also has little sympathy for people buying houses near the San
Andreas fault in California, and building on the edges of cliffs in
Vancouver. (And then they wonder why their houses fall into the ocean...)

Houses built on cliffs should be reclassified as mobile homes. You now
they're going to move eventually.

Yeas ago (duh!) in one of Johnny Carson's monologs he said that
California was the only state in the Union where one had to have an
operator's license to own a home... earthquakes, mudslides ... motion
