Another reason why I’d never live in californiastan. I don’t even want to visit.
Years ago we were assigned to the Presidio of SF and lived at Hamilton AFB in Novato. We had a sever drought and were told not to water the lawns. My husband attached a hose to the exhaust on our washing machine and I opened the utility room door and watered our small patch of lawn. The officials came by and I had to explain how we were watering our lawn.
