“As a Nevadan, I will 100% agree with you. Cut off California’s inland water so they desalinate the Pacific.”
Sorry, my wife is a Nevadan ( born in Fallon, raised in LV) and she would beg to differ with you as a CA resident for 60 years. California needs to manage it’s agricultural use of water. The farmers are the problem here as regards water, not the residents. Agribusiness is growing stuff here that makes no sense, but they have “bought” the government so they can take advantage of us. Beyond that, the underlying problem with Los Angeles is that it has been allowed to grow beyond the ability of the natural resources available locally to sustain it. It’s like a huge vacuum cleaner looking into every nook and cranny for water and electricity. It should not be allowed to rape the rest of the state to satisfy its thirst.
I will never support any efforts to depopulate any state. I can make jokes and poke fun, but the reality is California cannot sustain itself without desalination efforts. Drop the choo choo and build more desalination plants because your neighboring states don’t have that option available to them.
