Cutting Back on the Use of Water
I am wondering if the big developers like William Lyon are going to have to cut back on water usage at their huge mansions complete with acres of manicured lawns; and if they are going to be regulated from washing their Mercedeses every day.
Funny how we had no water shortage until Tom Riley and his fellow no-limit-to-growth politicians and developer friends turned the once pristine hillsides of South Orange County into thousands of houses three feet from one another.
These same politicians who didn’t listen to the people who wanted sensible growth are now telling us who drive Volkswagens and wash them every six months that there is a dangerous shortage of water.
I am all for using water in a sensible manner, but this urgent disaster is garbage! The big developers and the politicians who allowed this “water shortage” to happen are the real water hogs.
