We had the same thing in Amsterdam, where water shortages are not an issue, LOL.

It would be nice if a non-political factor like water started to limit suburban sprawl in America. Because once all those peri-urban communites are built out, they won't just go away like windblown frontier towns from the 1800's. People will live there and drive there for many decades to come. Personally I think we are way past the tipping point to change the direction of growth in the US, at least for the next generation or two.

Xeriscaping is cool, too. You just have to forget trying to make your yard look like England.
