Reduce water…and continue building? Huh?
But very few media are reporting this information. There seems to be an 80/20 rule in CA water reporting. 80% of the news coverage is about 20% of the water users.— April 5, 2015 9:54 p.m.
Reduce water…and continue building? Huh?
Agriculture is about 2% of CA's GSP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_California. I'm not sure how many jobs it provides - but I bet a lot of those jobs are low paying and I think a lot of those jobs are done by illegal immigrants. Big ag is a big industry. The family farmer is largely a thing of the past - farms are run by companies like Dole, Blue Diamond, Sunkist, etc. I think big agriculture has an inordinate amount of political power in this state and I suspect the political power has more to do with water planning than it should. I agree more development to replace big ag would be frying pan-to-fire so that's not a good solution. Just my thoughts.— April 4, 2015 4:27 p.m.
Reduce water…and continue building? Huh?
Yes that's true but I don't think Fresno and Modesto would necessarily be highly sought after spots for condo construction.— April 4, 2015 10 a.m.

Haha. Papa Doug doesn't get a mention for operating the town?— April 3, 2015 10:02 a.m.
Aw, man, you got ginkgo biloba'ed?
Perhaps some other retailers are beast-managed?— April 3, 2015 2:09 a.m.
Reduce water…and continue building? Huh?
I think it's not just San Diego - our entire society is built upon the idea that constant rapid economic expansion is always good. We are getting more efficient at using water and energy but at some point we may be using them too fast. Can we really get more efficient at how we use water, energy, and other natural resources faster than the rate of economic and population growth? At some point we may hit limits and the rate of population and economic growth may have to plummet one way or another. We may already be at that point.— April 2, 2015 9:57 p.m.
Reduce water…and continue building? Huh?
I think some of the creatures in the ocean don't like highly concentrated brine (the byproduct of desalination) getting piped their way. To me it seems like a reasonable tradeoff and I think we should have desalinization in CA. Should also have bigger reservoirs.— April 2, 2015 8:45 p.m.
Reduce water…and continue building? Huh?
I believe William White is correct. The majority of water in CA is used by agriculture. Limiting development, and encouraging less residential water use will help a little bit. But it's really a drop (bad pun) in the bucket compared to the agricultural use. Let me know when we stop growing almonds and alfalfa then I'll think about taking shorter showers.— April 2, 2015 8:32 p.m.
Fired — and not liking it at all
"constitutionally required due process " There is no constitutionally required due process for firing someone. There might be a contractually required due process depending on what was in his employment contract - but certainly no constitutionally required due process.— March 31, 2015 7:40 a.m.
Chargers in Inglewood? Looks like it
Yeah, I guess if the Chargers are pushing for this trade they can always tell the Titans, "Well, look what happened the last time WE drafted a #2 pick for QB" - far from a sure thing. I think with Mariota NFL teams are more worried about his lack of experience with pro-style NFL offense than his character - all reports are that his character is very solid. So sort of the opposite from Leaf who had unquestionable physical abilities but lacked character.— March 29, 2015 1:44 p.m.
