This is one reason I don't like the U.S. so much. I like living in less dry and more green, lush areas where life thrives. I feel much better in such areas, like in Switzerland where I grew up. A big part of the U.S. just seems to be dead and dying in this sense and I think sometimes the people can reflect such a state of nature where they live.
