Its not fair that this much natural beauty exists in one place, and I get to live in a barren desert.

They can be really beautiful, but it doesn't feel like a place where humans belong. It gets old quick. Being surrounded by water and trees feels a lot more natural and comforting. This just adds to the aesthetic beauty, in my opinion.

Maybe I'm one of the few, but xeric places attract me. I've had the privilege of visiting several deserts and semi-deserts, and I certainly feel a sense of belonging there.

Not saying forests and lakes aren't beautiful. They are and I'm fortunate to be surrounded by them (if I drive a few minutes off the urban jungle).

But every time I visit Las Vegas, I consider moving there. Maybe Reno, where you can have everything.
