California has no water....and don’t forget a dwindling water supplyI'm heartbroken over what has happened to CA. I've lived here since I was a baby. My siblings live nearby, as did my folks until they passed away. Family is what has kept mr. boe and me here, but we're working on our exit plan to leave now that Mom and Dad are gone. The LW totalitarian intolerance, the homelessness disease vectors, decaying infrastructure, high taxes, crushing state debt to pay for public employee pensions, lack of crime enforcement...all have snowballed to the point where the state is unlivable for normal people who just want to live their private lives in peace.
Actually, we have a lot of water - the snowpack is over 180% of normal. The problem is that Jerry Brown cancelled the CA water project his father initiated. The CA water project would have expanded storage and canal capacity. We always has cycles of drought and wet. We'd have plenty of water if we saved it from wet times instead of allowing it to flush into the ocean. It also doesn't help when inane policies are allowed to happen - such as the Greenies causing the state to dump stored water into the Sacramento River in order to save a bait fish.
My monthly water bill is less than 10% of what I was paying in California, and you don’t need to filter all the crap (literally) out.
We have plenty of water, thank you.
