Thanks for contributing this on the ground perspective, comrade! I feel very arm chair general vibes having put this one out there(currently living in small mtn. town in s.w.) On fires- My thoughts are everything rocky mtn and west of, is its gonna burn. Good buddy was hot shot, now knees blown out has a fire related desk job now, he thinks the Rockies and Sierras will be fully bald in our lifetimes- drought, invasive Beatle infestation, fires-make a holy trifecta of no trees left standing. That said, and here's my huge weakness, I just aint gonna move to fucking Michigan or Ohio and realistically, I'll never have enough money to move to or be lucky enough to marry a new zealander, so N. America is it for me, and no way they'll even let me into Canada. So, I'll take my best option and be your neighbor, we'll have some great grill outs before it all falls apart!

Serious question, for you as a local- I see the hugest future divide being a east/ west one in OR and WA- east(bend/spokane(even kennewich area, cant be sure those rivers will keep up) poor water future vs. west(port-eugene/anywhere between Puget sound and Cascades regions?) pretty solid, have any thoughts on that?
