Your suggestion that because something is feasible, it is ubiquitous, is simply wrong. Here, I'll help:

u·biq·ui·tous
yo͞oˈbikwədəs
adjective
present, appearing, or found everywhere.
"his ubiquitous influence was felt by all the family"
synonyms: omnipresent, ever-present, everywhere, all over the place, pervasive, universal, worldwide, global;

Go pick up a book (and get an eye check up while you are at it).



Those areas are USDA 5 and 6. Windmills may survive, but not thrive.

I'm sure if they were planted in a wild area, they would thrive. Same goes for cacti. I saw HUGE patches of wild prickly pear all over IL from north to south.

Within 5 months we moved into the central phoenix area and bought a nice home within minutes/taxi ride to downtown.

Last night, we walked around the artsy Evans-Churchill area downtown Phoenix and the development is CRAZY. 3-5 years from now, downtown Phoenix will be completely AWESOME.

That's awesome. Half my family lives in either Phoenix or Scottsdale so I'll be coming to visit often.

I had prickly pears growing outside Chicago for years, covered in snow, survived well until one winter with -10 to -15 degree air temps, that froze them dead..
but "normal" winter temps down to zero were tolerable for them..

Well, my work here is done. As said before, anyone confusing North Texas for Ohio or Nebraska is in need of an eye exam.

One random picture proves nothing. Here are palms in Ohio.



Actually, that seems to prove that only someone in need of vision help would see them as looking different.

It's a grass-is-greener vicious cycle...

True but don't forget financial reasons as well. I am sure CT will not miraculously lower their taxes and become a red state. My parents will never go back there.
