Well, I don't know about the other places Amy mentioned specifically, but people really *don't* live in Vegas-- I mean they don't live there sustainably. It's like jumping up in the air and deciding that means you can levitate. So this whole "BUT WE LIVE THERE" thing, in a sense, isn't really true. If we're talking super-long-term sharing-the-planet timeline, then it does seem reasonable to give the Silurians places we can't actually live (without pumping so much water out of the ground that it actually starts compacting and collapsing beneath us.)
