It's pretty reasonable for people to expect that water will be available in cities. This is a small community, and even if they were able to identify unsustainable water usage, they don't have the political power to stop the agriculture machine from sucking the water dry, especially since water right laws were written before California was a state and trying to change them could be viewed as unconstitutional.
They should absolutely move and find an easier place to live, and take charge of their own lives. But it definitely sucks.
- Loughla 11y ago"They should absolutely move and find an easier place to live, and take charge of their own lives." What are your views on large-scale immigration?
- NoMoreNicksLeft 11y agoIf the people immigrating are buying or renting the homes they will be living in (and are otherwise obeying laws), how can it be anyone else's business that they live there? If you don't like immigrants, convince your neighbors not to sell to them. Also, you're a dumb asshole.
- nsxwolf 11y agoHe asked you a question, and you call him a dumb asshole?
- NoMoreNicksLeft 11y agoNo, I said if you wanted to, you could persuade your neighbors to not sell to immigrants, not rent to them. And that would make you a dumb asshole. On reddit, I assume that people that complain are dumb, here I figured you were just glancing through and not reading for comprehension. So go back and see for yourself.
- Loughla 11y agoWhat amuses me the most about this is that I never stated whether I was for or against immigration. You assigned a 'side' to my statement. I was merely asking a question.
- civilian 11y agoI'm for it, or maybe neutral towards it. People should be able to move if they want to. It definitely presents challenges, but they're manageable challenges. Sorry for NoMoreNicksLeft's rudeness.
