The Southern California developers will not be satisfied until they make the entire state look like the Owens River Valley. I agree with Jerry for once, if SoCal wants water so bad, let them tax themselves to get it. That will kill the idea right there. Or let them build desalination plants, (in Barbara Streisand’s front yard, Malibu).
They did it in Santa Barbara a few years back with taxpayer funds, they fired up the plant to make sure it worked as advertised, then dismantled it and sold it the CHICOMS. Santa Barbara residents still have no water and quite a lot of them are pissed off.
