i still don't understand the tacit approval of thousands of apartments in our drought prone area. thousands of showers, thousands of washing machines and dish-washers. all those people who worry about traffic might consider the impact that all of these apartments are going to have....all the while, i'm expected to cut down on my water usage. that's fine until i'm expected to let my garden die as well. where is the sense in this?

"i still don't understand the tacit approval of thousands of apartments in our drought prone area"

They will use a small percentage of the water used by almond growers. Or rice growers.

Besides, we do have a drought. According to Donald Trump.

So there!

This administration is ordering constituents to save water, while the same politicians and representatives allow more construction, bring more people in, and allow "arsonists and people with pyromania " to burn acres of our beautiful nature.

What has this administration done so far to ensure clean and safe water supplies for years to come?
