sad and sickening but, LA and burbs are now paying the piper for decades of voting for leftists. they thought they were so virtuous and smart.
as the great Kipling said, ‘And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.’
They didn’t lose that water they just dumped it into the ocean.
You are dealing with eco nuts! Any human intervention in nature is bad. Human deaths and suffering is the natural order of their world.
Lots of their houses and businesses just burned down due to their lack of humility.
After all Liberals are always correct!
“ California has suffered from extreme droughts for years now ”
They just outright lie.
Gov Newsom has blocked the building of new reservoirs for years despite the voters voting for them.
Mayor Bass tried to cut $25 million from the fire dept budget. She got $17+ million cut this year.
The firemen ran out of water in Pacific Palisades as the reservoir that gravity fed the water pipes ran dry due to the democrats not filling the reservoir. That was deliberate. They did not even think about the fire danger as they too blocked needed brush clearance. See Trump from 5 years ago tell everyone with Newsom looking uncomfortable next to him talk about what needs to be done.

Many people now do not have home insurance because the insurance companies cancelled them. They say the fire danger is too great and building costs have skyrocketed.
I wonder if these celebs will continue to vote for democrats. Many lost their homes.

There is a proposal for a new law that restricts the amount of water you can use to 55 gallons a day then 50 gallons
by 2030. https://tinyurl.com/4887ubhr They think this and the higher water bills that you will use less water. No doing laundry for you peasants.
This is like taking car lanes away which is called “road diet”, example 4 lanes to 2 or removing them altogether. They think that people will take a bus or ride a bicycle.
This road diet killed many people in northern California near the town of Paradise. Some years earlier the town needed money for road maintenance and the democrats would only give the money if they reduced the lanes which was done. People were trapped in the backup when they tried to flee the huge brush fire due to 50% fewer lanes. Many burned to death.
This is the democrats thinking process. Restrict people from having a good life except for themselves of course.
“In 2014, the state received billions to fund new water storage projects, but so far, none have been completed.”
So where exactly did all that money go?
It went somewhere.

Besides rescinding the Green Laws Cali costal areas need to re-think how they fight fires. There is ample water for fighting. There is an unlimited supply. Take a few ideas that the United States Navy has used for over 100 years. Build a sea water piping system and connect all hydrants and sprinkler systems to it. No Desal system needed and potable water would be saved for needed uses elsewhere. They could go even as far in some areas as to install above ground sprinklers remotely or on site activated to fight fires in otherwise unreachable terrain during fires. There would be no water quality issues, no revisor issues, plus there would be lower maintenance and operational cost. It would be drought proof as well.
“California has suffered from extreme droughts for years now”
Wet years are the exception in that part of the world.
People need to do math
10 million immigrants in California and they flush the toilet five times That’s about 20 gallons of water a day just for going down to drain that would be about what 200 million gallons of water people just don’t understand
Recall Gov Newscum and Mayor bASS.
Stupid is as stupid does.
