If you can't live somewhere without significant terraforming, you shouldn't be living there. There are unbelievably huge swaths of the country with abundant water and existing infrastructure - look at Buffalo, Pittsburgh etc. Go live there and leave the West alone.

Are you telling New Orleans to pack up and move?

[throwayyy479087]

Absolutely yes. Also people who live on the bayous in Houston, and all of the population of Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Southern California.

If you don't do it today, nature will force you to eventually. And when it does, you're going to have a very bad time.

Not a bad idea!
