Pray tell, where would you source the food required to support said new residents if you're going to convert farm land already dedicated to supporting people who are already there?
Not sure about California's import/export situation with Ag output.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoLA at least gets a lot of its food from Mexico. Most of the farms in that region are for specialty crops that get exported anyways. Like almonds. I like almonds, but most people don’t live on them. But the point isn’t to get rid of the farms, just that LAs water usage as a city is tiny in comparison to California’s agricultural water usage in general.
