CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

California needs to stop hogging all the water from the Colorado river, and instead, start building desalination plants, for the good of the country... The less California gets, the more Utah can have.
US unveils options for cutting California's Colorado River water
The three options include one that would override California’s water rights and split the cuts evenly between California, Nevada and Arizona.

If California built 3 desalination plants, it would produce enough water for 1.2 million people... That would mean 1.2 million more people could move to the St. George area.

As your article notes, California has senior water rights. Nevertheless, California has joined with AZ and NV to voluntarily reduce water consumption 13% from the river in a deal that it looks like the Biden Administration will accept. The other states in the basin do not have to cut their on-paper allotments, but may still feel a pinch since they have to send water through to the senior rights havers.

Would the people who currently live in the old dilapidated buildings be able to afford to live in these new, subsidized cities? Back in the 80s, NYC had a similar policy of tearing down poor housing and replacing them with new, luxury condos - the homeless population exploded and has not gone down since.
Who do you suppose is going to get the contracts to build these new cities on federal grounds?

I’m sure cutting off Californias water will not add any more difficulty to the plan.California needs to stop hogging all the water from the Colorado river, and instead, start building desalination plants, for the good of the country... The less California gets, the more Utah can have.

Edit - see the obvious issues with this plan have been addressed.
Perhaps that's why the ex-president just throws out random vague talking points and hopes his followers fill in whatever details let them rationalize the faith that he knows the first thing about what he is talking about.

So not only is the plan to plop a random empty city down in the middle of the desert, but also to have the federal government shut off the water for one of the biggest economies in the country?California needs to stop hogging all the water from the Colorado river, and instead, start building desalination plants, for the good of the country...

This couldn't have anything to do with government welfare for red states and sticking it to one which voted against Donald, could it?

California often seems to take the easy route, regardless of the negative effects it has on others. Their choice to use water from a river that others depend on when they could tap into the wide ocean is only one example of their neglect. But they also choose not to pave their roads until the potholes break axles, they don't build more DMV's, even though the lines wrap around the buildings twice.
...They just don’t care.

Youd have to be barking mad to move to St George in the current and future climate. Every day this week over 105F, and most likely this represents a trend.

That can't be, this was clearly a grand plan for the future not a throwaway spit balled idea!

We need more affordable housing. We have lots of apartments going up that typical apartment dwellers--younger, fixed-income, lower-income--can't afford.
We live in one of the most affordable areas of the country, but salaries are also lower.
Who is going to move into these apartments?
