High housing prices in the city push buyers to the country, and that can cause environmental problems.

From my viewpoint out here in the countryside, I see the two nearest cities, Lacey and Yelm, growing at a great rate. There are new housing developments everywhere as people seek lower housing prices than those in the big city (Seattle) and the local smaller cities seek to increase their tax revenues. But a common worry is that the available supplies of fresh water from aquifers cannot sustain the rapidly growing populations. The cities are thinking about imposing development moratoria and publicly wonder where the drinking water will come from in the future.
