Welcome to the midwest, please don't add to our problems
[Read the article: How to solve America's water problems]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I'd love to see more people move to the northern Midwest, but please, do this Chicagoan a favor, don't move to a damn' ex-urb. They are draining resources, water, etc. just as fast as the Sunbelt. There are plenty of inner-ring suburbs and nice city neighborhoods available. No, you won't have a large yard or a sprawling McMansion with all new appliances built last year (but then again you won't have to heat it either), but why would you want that anyway? I continue to be mystified by people who are buying up these ridiculous homes. Granted, I don't expect everyone to want to live like me (in a lovely little apartment 3 blocks from the subway), but just moving to the Midwest will do nothing to solve these problems if we continue to plow our prairies to put up subdivisions while letting the cities and inner ring suburbs rot.
