2. I escaped from a dingy, drab armpit town in SW AZ a few years ago

Bordering the Colorado River which replenishes the (previously good) aquifer. The inbred kakistocracy running that miserable hole was busily engaged in looting the aquifer by approving every development imaginable, as the Colorado was increasingly depleted and the water level in the aquifer was being drawn down more every year (readily apparent to residents with wells). The area has historic water rights which the farmers were busily selling off. Only a matter of time before the residents are made to bear the burden in the form of severe water restrictions.

Definitely not worth it (I had a good reason for going there a while back that was no longer a factor) so I got out.
