49 Celsius to save anyone the conversion
I know they did it before climate change was a big issue, but you’d still think someone would have said, “maybe we shouldn’t build a city in the middle of a desert?”
Of course, there’s also Phoenix, Salt Lake City, etc…
Tech ourselves into dead ends and then wonder how it happened.
Multiple Southwestern cultures thrived and then died out due to climate change. But who’d ask a pesky Injun whether or not that was a good place to build a city?
Most of them were either nomadic and moved between habitable areas between seasons or lived near oasis and other water sources so not really the desert.
Apparently the honest answer is “sometimes”
It was a railroad town at the start, so really just a “once we get through this desert we’ve made it to California.” And after that it was the Boulder Dam worker town, which is where all the casinos came from
