The soul of cyberpunk is alienation of the individual in a technologically advanced society in every facet of his life
>he is financially alienated, it's a world of mega rich corporations
>he is personally alienated, relationships have been replaced by paid for AI companions

and for some reason there's always a desert right next to the city but it always rains somehow

there's always a desert right next to the city
this goes only for cyberpunk 2077 and ghost in the shell 245 aoc (something like that) and in bladerunner 2045, do you have other examples? desert doesn't seem very cyberpunk-y to me

the idea is that one part of the world is highly developed and because of that the rest of the world is drained of its resources, but rarely is it shown
| >>947855
ergo proxy, Texhnolyze also I think
there's also things on mars like Armitage III or sometimes Cowboy Bebop.

Also there's the fact that without heavy irrigation, southern California is naturally a desert. Lots of those scenes take place there.

I'm kinda grasping for straws here since you covered most elements in your opening post, but more often than not there seem to be a desert in various cyberpunk stories. Electric Sheep already had the desert, for example. It was even prominent in Snow Crash though it was virtual.
| >>947921 because there's a market for it. LA started out as the key trading port on the pacific coast and once it reached a critical mass it just sort of became a big city. So people grew food nearby to feed it, starting pre-refridgeration. And that's continued.
We also do agriculture in Arizona despite it being an even worse place for most of it.
