We are solving it as a society. You're free to move somewhere there's more water, or you can not have any.

Tell that to Intel. They’re building a fab in Phoenix.

That's up to the people that live in Phoenix. If they want Intel to deplete their aquifer, that's their choice.

Ah yes, the Ben Shapiro climate solution: "Just sell your house and move somewhere else!"

Who, pray tell, will buy a house with no water?

That’s also not going to work if we’re talking about farmland. Not every parcel of land is exchangeable for every other. It’s one thing to point at a city and say “fewer people could live there” and another to point at farmland and say society won’t feel an impact from not growing the crops on it.
