All that land will be useless in 30 years after salt water intrusion. It’s all going to be housing.
California ag brings jobs and income that adds 350 billion to the state’s economy. That’s not trivial.
Having said that..putting up housing will lead to even more water shortages. People take up more water than trees and plants.
Water should be conserved and aquifers replenished.
Why should we have a limitless influx of population to California. Shouldn’t the number of people be in synch with available resources?
Which brings up the question..who can live here? Who can afford the resources of course. If everyone wants to live in the Bay Area because they want to and not because they can afford to..of course, there will be a resources crunch.
