    “more salient than the remoteness of the postwar West was its dryness. With the exception of a strip along the Pacific, where ocean breezes moderated the regional drought, and the crests of the highest interior ranges, which caught what little moisture escaped the Cascades and Sierra Nevada, the new West was a desert.”

    Water has been an issue since #JohnWesleyPowell and then made worse by the events outlined in #CadillacDesert.

    Without investment in #infrastructure, all that precipitation just drains into the ocean.

    Also, the municipal budget for road repair increases as the rain washes away the pothole fixes, leaving drivers practicing defensive driving with the road itself.

    Mostly, it just reduces the quality of life making people question the value of the #SunshineTax.

  16. “America’s story had always closely aligned with that of Exodus—the tale of a people who left behind an oppressive Old World to enter a wilderness and ultimately build a divinely inspired, promised land.

    How would that promise look?

    Powell singlehandedly tried to change the American narrative.”
