much like what’s going on in the southwest. California is using all the available supply. States like Nevada and Colorado are complaining. Too much demand for the supply to keep up.

Same in the southeast. Florida complaining about the water supply and so is Alabama. Both are angry at Georgia who overbuilt Atlanta to rely on few lakes to support a ridiculous amount of growth. Everybody wanted to move to Atlanta after the Olympics. The interstates couldn’t handle it, the natural resources couldn’t handle.

Seems humans think they can do whatever they want, in as much quantity as they want and the Earth will just make it happen. “But I WANT to live here!” A bunch of Veruca’s it seems.

And I’m not some environmentalist that thinks that we should all live like monkeys, but I think some sense needs to come when county commissioners are allowing neighborhoods and sections of counties to be built up beyond the natural resources available. All it seems they can see is the massive property tax increase from lots of big houses over lots of empty land.

Just my take on what seems to be happening in the southeast. I don’t know if it’s like that everywhere.
