I don’t know what county you live in, but water rights are essential in an area that has very dry summers, and with small creeks and streams, people have no legal right, or moral right, to suck tons of water and deprive people downstream from getting any. You don’t like water rights? Change the law. Water rights make sense to me and most other people in rural areas.

Plus the dopers’ runoff of many chemicals, often used excessively and thus illegally, are going into the waterways. ALso the dopers are basically growing commercial ag on properties zoned R-5 which does not allow commercial ag. But no LE here so anything goes, including increasing crime of all kinds.

Fun fun....

I think you might mean RR-5 zoning, which is 5 acre minimum Rural Residential. Now the funny thing about that is I have neighbors who grow hay on 5 acre lots and sell it, although I don't know how they make any money at that. No one cares at all about their "commercial" activity. Likewise if they sell some of the fruit from a tree or two.

OTOH let a pot farmer grow 300 or 400 lbs of weed, and suddenly it is "wrong" even though it takes less water to do that than to produce 5 acres of hay.

Now I don't grow pot or want to grow pot, but those who do should have the opportunity...
