Climate change or simply irresponsible demands on the resource- take your pick. I’m going with the later. Adding more people in already dense urban areas is some central planner’s dream and the people’s nightmare.

The water situation is a real problem, but not insurmountable. Particularly because urban water consumption is a very small part of the state's total. Additionally, homes along the California coast are much less carbon-intensive because they need so little heating or cooling. There are environmental challenges, but also huge environmental benefits.
