i had started an interested discussion about the desert with a friend and i decided to ask you all.. WOULD YOU LEAVE IN THE DESERT????? yes it is possible..here in israel we do have our desert and there our people that are living there..there is even a big city there and the government is giving money and all the facilities to people who are ready to do this step and live there. would you live in the desert? why would you? why not?

Do they have underground city with good facilities (e.g. shops, food, water, telecommunications, internet access etc.) in the desert ? If so, then it would be more attractive to live there.

Seems attractive as what you said. If you can post some pictures for us to see, I am sure many members may be convinced to visit if not live there.

I was born and raised here in the Philippines, and got used to the weather here...well, though I don't really like exposing myself on hot and sunny days, I believe I still do have an average tolerance for it... coz during summer here temperature rises even up to above 30 to 35 degrees Celsius or 86-95 degrees Fahrenheit...:P but living in the dessert for years? ummmm am not so sure about it.... lol maybe I can stay there for a couple of days..but am afraid I can't really survive living there for a couple of years or even months... :P

I have no idea how the life would be in a desert. How convenient and conducive it would be to stay in desert. I have seen desert only in movies. I have not seen the real deserts. It appears to me it will not be an easy task to live in a desert, because the facilities over there may not like a normal city. In a desert weather conditions could become adverse and disruptive and unpleasent. I see less benefits in staying in a desert in comparison to other places, so I would not like to stay in a desert.

I loooove the desert! I was a tour guide in the Nature Protection Company (this is the only thing that sounds better in hebrew I think) and I mainly guided trips in the desert. I believe one day I'll build a home in the desert - in 5 to 6 years. Right now I am getting married, and I study in a university that is quite far from the desert, so I will have to finish my Phd before going there... Do you live in the desert?

I am born and raise in a tropical country and it's hot whole year round which is nice. But I can't imagine myself living in the dessert I think it's too hot for me.

Oh yea.. it's "cool" right? You can get a nice tan.. NOT! No one would willingly live in the desert - unless you were brought up in the harsh environment and grew up to love it. The condition is just too much for the average human.
