...it's 72° in December and January, and hotter than Satan's underpants every day from April to October. They get at least one day every summer that hits 122-123°.
And local water is non-existent. <4" of rain annually. Everything's piped in from hundreds of miles away, and percolates in to recharge the groundwater supply. Cut off that supply, and it dries up and blows away in about a year.
You'd need a personal 10,000 ft² (100' x 100') concrete collection pan to capture enough annual rain water there for just one person, assuming you got every drop into a cistern.
Even Bedouins shake their heads at that.
Hard pass, even if the house was underground, and powered by solar panels.
It's an astroturf city, it's only nice two months/year, and it only looks good in 2D pictures.
And for a bonus, the San Andres fault line runs a literal short walk east of town, a couple of miles.
And modern people laugh at the residents of Pompeii...
