Isn't Phoenix the same thing then? 

[MasterXtreme]

Phoenix doesn't draw tourists, and yes, you are right, Soda.  Most desert areas are dangerous areas to build since they are inhospitable.  Phoenix does finance though, and is more an established city with an economy, something that Vegas isn't. 

[Soda]

What do you mean established?  They are both there and running. 

[MasterXtreme]

Phoenix has a more diverse economy that doesn't rely just on tourism and the population around the city relying on it for it's survival.

Vegas only does tourism and regional needs.  it serves as the State's hub city, even though everything about it's economy is singular.  If there were a tourist depletion to zero for example, Vegas would cease to function and exist.  It is an artificial city that isn't ESTABLISHED with many job sources. 

[Soda]

Don't they have farms and stuff around them?

[MasterXtreme]

No.  Vegas consumes more then it produces.  Vegas is a consuming city that relies on outside sources for everything.

California as a state is increasingly becoming a consumer state.  It consumes more then it can produce and relies on the Hoover Dam in Nevada for instance for electricity. 

Washington State produces more then it consumes in water and electricity.  So they sell both of those commodities to California.  Oregon does the same.

So California is like a horrible leech? 

[MasterXtreme]

You said it, not me.

Hey! 

Thanks for explaining all that.  You make it so much easier to understand then just some boring professor or reading a.... BOOK. 

[MasterXtreme]

Well never just go off what one person says.  Educate yourself. 

[Soda]

I'm not going to educate myself more on this subject except from what you tell me.  

[MasterXtreme]

Hey now!  You really should.  Anything you want to know about, use many sources.  Not just any old source, but GOOD sources.

Is San Fran a good city? 

[MasterXtreme]

In which way? 

[Soda]

Is it sustainable?
