Has anyone been reading about the water levels at Lake Mead and Lake Powell? It's very likely in 50 years Phoenix could be Detroit. Scottsdale recently ended an agreement sharing its' water with unincorporated subdivisions along its' border in Maricopa County.

Shall I take you inside the Nelson-Atkins, inarguably one of the best art museums in the country? Or should we start with the food? Or the magnificent homes, or the friendly people? Or, perhaps, I can persuade you to take a closer look at Kansas City by pointing out that my job allows me to go to my favorite cities every year—Paris, Mexico City, São Paulo, Los Angeles, and so on—and, yes, Kansas City is one I always visit.

...Byrne asked me what it is about Kansas City, as opposed to other Midwestern metropolises, that I love so much. To deflect, I first noted that anecdotally everybody I’ve ever talked to who has visited has loved it. Then I noted the obvious—it’s a very pretty city and there’s an incredible amount to do.
...
But as I tried to articulate the shape of my affection, I realized that what I love most is how Kansas City surprises people. We’ve been conditioned to think of midwestern cities as kind of forlorn places that modernity ravaged, but Kansas City has never felt that way to me. On the contrary, there’s a buoyancy to it. Even the Kansas City Museum, which forthrightly examines the region’s legacies of racism, sexism, elitism, and so on, felt more hopeful than not. There’s nothing eat-your-peas or arduous about visiting here. And I can’t wait to go back.

It’s got top-notch house hunting, mouth-watering food, and more museums than you can visit in a weekend.
