When did i ever say things were cheaper? I was respond to a second comment at the sane time that said you can just buy water. Also since all states are meant to combined into one country, and are meant to support one another it is a U.S. problem. If London had a shortage of water people would say England had a water shortage problem (even though London is only one area of England). Sorry but when one state has a problem it is considered to be the problem of the country in general.
