If we stopped growing almonds for the entire freaking world Norcal would have lots and lots of water. 80% of California water goes to agriculture, 20% of that is for tree nuts, and 2/3rds of them are exported overseas.
I do agree (as a Michigan native originally) the best prospects over the next 50 years are Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. But both career prospects and winter make that a hard miss for me.
Won’t have access to water soon though

California does not depend on Almonds, it only accounts for 1/4 of 1% of the California economy.
Worrying about the water use of almonds when animal agriculture is right there is absurd in any case.
