Makes me think that the midwest will soon get more populated due to its position away from coastlines

Unless they move near one of the great lakes or a big river, it will be unsustainable. Most areas without those get their water from underground aquifers, which are getting depleted already. These little towns and cities that dot the flyover states aren't preparing for this at all.
