Contrary to what you hear from some doomsday preppers, it wouldn’t be that hard to survive our dystopian, apocalyptic future. It’s just a matter of actually planning for the likely scenarios. It’s a matter of slowly giving up our modern comforts and conveniences.

There’s only one thing fueling the reckless hyper-development of the southwest right now, and it’s greed. Rogue developers don’t care what happens to someone after they sink their wealth into a McMansion with no access to water, in a region historically plagued by mega drought, on track to get only worse over the next century.
People already can’t sell their homes.
