I can't tell if the downvotes mean that I'm wrong about this, and the state could theoretically reallocate that water, or that I'm right but people think it should work differently. Are there any experts on how this works in California that could weigh in here?
- jessaustin 4y agoEvery time this comes up, the simple straightforward actually-legal solution of "let's pay the farmers to use less water" gets downvoted to oblivion. I conclude that many Californians on HN simply dislike farmers and don't want them to prosper. The other possibility, that there isn't actually a water shortage in California so there's no need to waste money managing water, seems to contradict everything I've ever learned on this topic from the commercial news media.
