People don't need a lot of water. It's the lawns that need all the water. Why relocate millions of people when all you have to do is get rid of the stupid fucki

  The lawns are part of the problem, so are toilets and baths and showers, and agriculture and industry. The point is that identifying the problem isn’t hard, it stopping it is downright impossible. Who is going to stop people from having lawns? Who will stop powerful agricultural interests from growing almonds? Until the water runs out, people will waste it.

    > Who is going to stop people from having lawns? The same mythical creatures that can stop people from moving to Silicon Valley. Or you could just price water appropriately and watch them disappear on their own. Quadrupling your water bill increases the cost of being a human by a percent at most, but increases the cost of owning a lawn several fold.

      The same mythical creatures that can stop people from moving to Silicon Valley. Who said anything like that? Not me. I just asked a question as to why, I never deluded myself into thinking I would change it. If you want to be snarky though, a high 7, low 8 quake will do it. For raising water prices though, it would need to be raised first and foremost on agriculture, which uses the majority of water in California. They have good nationwide lobbies, so it would be a mythical force indeed.
