instead of Beverly Hills where those republican fascists rule.
I can water all I want and it doesn't matter how much the
whining rabble complain about not having enough drinking water."

Officials in Beverly Hills say they tried it all: educational campaigns, usage restrictions and written notices for people suspected of wasting water.
Despite those efforts, the community missed its savings target every month since June, when a statewide 25% reduction in urban water consumption became mandatory amid the punishing drought. As a result, state regulators fined the city, saying publicly that its water wasters "should be ashamed."
About four months ago, city officials got tough. Beverly Hills sent letters to dozens of customers in November warning them of high water use and urging them to cut back. The city also began penalizing profligate users.
The letters went to entertainment industry figures such as comedian Amy Poehler, prominent real estate developers such as Geoff Palmer and other notable names. An estate owned by philanthropist and former media mogul David Geffen used an average of about 27,000 gallons of water a day between June 2 and Aug. 2 — roughly 60 times what an average Los Angeles family uses and about 9,000 gallons more per day than what Geffen was allowed.

Good luck trying to shame Liberals......they have no shame.
As long as they pay the bills and fines. They can waste all the money and water they want.
An excellent example of elitist behavior. Laws are for the little guys. The rest of the world can f*** off.
Waiting for the big Beverly Hills crackdown on air wasters - as best as I can tell, any air utilized by most of that Hollywood crowd is being wasted.
That's a stretch

East Germany with palm trees. Yay!
How is that even possible? Did he drain and refill his pool every day?
A small example of how liberal elites want us in the great unwashed masses to alter our lifestyles....to save the planet of course...but don’t even consider altering their own lifestyles.
No doubt the very same people who agree that climate deniers should be prosecuted. Prosecuted I tell you!
Anyone know where their private jets are parked?
Perhaps the size of the fine should be determined by annual income. :^)
Is it beyond the wit of the local water authority to set up a graduated scale rate for water use such that at the top end it would even cause a Hollywood billionaire to sit up and take notice.
As they say...
Each according to their ability.
Didn’t read the article?
When I lived in AZ I had to add water to my pool several times a week.
Now in Florida and have to drain excess!
What did I miss. Its Californias problem. Hollywood richies dont care and waste more. Everyone is doing their part but the rich folk. they have been fined .............What did I miss.
Surly your not expecting me to say that because they are hollywood elite liberal that they should be more niggardly with their money?
They can do whatever they want to with their money. If they want to buy water or gold plated obama farts and throw them out the window going down PCH, I DONT CARE.
“...roughly 60 times what an average Los Angeles family uses and about 9,000 gallons more per day than what Geffen was allowed.”
ALLOWED? Damn. Here I was thinking it was a service bought and paid for by the user?
Maybe CA should be wondering how to ‘make water’...You know, maybe you kicking out the untold MILLIONS of illegals (using housing/welfareschools/hospitals/etc. as well as water) or even a desalination plant or two??
As the article points out, it has nothing to do with the unwashed masses. The liberal elites point at Big Ag using large amounts of water to produce low value crops(hay). It makes no difference whether you are a liberal elite or the unwashed, Big Ag uses most of the water in California.
