What is wrong with California?

[Pelado]

In some cities, including San Francisco, officials worry about the prohibition on washing streets and sidewalks. Public Works Department spokeswoman Rachel Gordon said that could interfere with the frequent cleaning of alleys to wash away human waste where there are high concentrations of homeless people.

During the past 12 months, she said the city responded to about 8,000 calls to steam clean streets of such waste.

I'm not sure if I should be surprised it's that high or that it's that low.

Hey you uppity northerner....you have under delivered the farmers 60-80% of the water they have already paid for for the last 3 years.

Remember that when you can't find your baby carrots anymore!

I don't begrudge water-thrifty farmers their just due, but what about residents? Why aren't all residential users on mandatory cutbacks? Oh, and you can have an exception for awesome BBQ food prep.

This is a real pisser (or would be if I had enough water to produce surplus urine). Our water district has imposed a mandatory 25% reduction in water use, with penalties for violators. Meanwhile, we live a very short distance from multiple aqueducts that send thousands of acre feet of water from the north to the south, where no such restrictions have been imposed. Our once verdant lawns are depressingly brown. In a state with a widely shared water supply, everyone ought to be under similar restrictions. That said, there's still no better state for me...
