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.
