I guess they're hoping and praying for some really amazing monsoons each and every year, like this year's!

Milnesand, NM possibly?

Did I see Appalachia listed as one of the locations? Not sure what that region would have to do with the Desert. I do think we need to look for other choices for life in the USA for the coming generations. So build it.

Why would people move there? Will there be great jobs, amazing recreational opportunities, or some other draw?

It was 102° at 4pm here in Tucson today. My air conditioner runs all day and night. I wouldn't plop a city down in the desert.

No place in NM. Nothing like that is sustainable.

What are your thoughts? What would be the point? Sounds like a waste of money.

I have serious doubts that it will ever come to fruition. Seems rather silly.

If this were parts of Asia, I can totally see a brand new city from scratch. But less likely in USA.

Isn't there some group who has been buying up land in northern New England for a similar thing?

well in the desert the city could be powered by solar and wind farms.
