At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

Never had any problem with paying my water tax, but that's just because the water quality over here is outstanding.

It's not even the hard water issue, that's difficult to combat on a large scale. But when the water out of my tap can make me seriously Ill every second summer thanks to e.coli outbreaks, I don't much feel like paying for it.

As an urban citizen, I most certainly do live in an apartment, yes. And let's face it, tap water doesn't just magically appear. A lot of infrastructure and quality control is needed for that to happen.

Exurbia is so much better
It's not redundant like suburbia, and you get well water and a septic field
