- ssl-3 2y agoInterestingly enough, I also mostly only see backlash about agriculture in hot places that are also deserts.

The imperial valley - a single farming region in a literal (rather than metaphorical - LA isn't a desert) California desert - uses enough water from the Colorado river to account for 100% of residential water use in California.
