>> You all are so frigging stupid it makes my brain hurt. Anything less than 5 inches of rain per year is desert. That's the portion of CA that's red. No one lives in the red portions of the state. The vast majority of the 35 million people live along the coast which gets anywhere from 15-25" of rain which is more typical of a Mediterranean climate.

You said the state has a Mediterranean climate. That is factually inaccurate, although a part of it does have something close to a Mediterranean climate. As you can see, most of the state IS arid.

A key problem with California in regard to water is the refusal to allow market influences on the price of water. As a result, when water is in short supply, it has not been priced accordingly and water conservation is not possible.

It is a great example of what happens when government gets in the way of markets unnecessarily. You get shortages and misallocations of resources.
