Reply to comment by ThingThatsJustBegun in Why California is still in drought despite heavy rain and snow by bogdanelcs

exactly. Why is California in a drought after they’ve sucked the ground completely dry of natural resources for tens of years. California’s natural resources can’t support the number of people they’re trying to house.

If you drive interstate-5 from Los Angeles to northern California you will see signs from the farm lobby essentially saying we should do to the San Joaquin River Delta what we've done to the Colorado river -- use every drop of fresh water so that none is left to flow to the sea.
