Before going over to swim in the filth, I have to say that unless they go into seawater desalinization on a Manhattan Project scale, the building thing is an insoluble problem that drives those enviro lawsuits. SoCal has stolen about all the water they possibly can from their neighboring states and there just ain't no more to get. They're bumping into an actual physical limit to growth, even aside from their own regulation-choked approach to life generally.
Later that day...
After a dip in the cesspool, it was surprising how long it took them to get around to the Faux Newz attack, there were a few rational ones. I'm glad so many of those idiots demand to stay in safe DemonRat territory and refuse to consider moving to better places. One post got me laughing, when the DUmmie started talking about how much more fantastic business growth would be if they had enough housing to get all those highly-trained wonder-workers they need, overlooking a few things - like how much of the available housing is full of illegals and other State dependents, why all those supposed super employees can't outcompete the welfare families for the housing, and why the said corporations don't just move to where they CAN get employees who can afford to work for them.
Israel does desalination on a significant scale. Developing the technology isn't the problem. So that must mean ...
... wait for it ...
... you know it's coming ...
... Enviros have blocked development of serious desalination in CA.
I started a new job in fall of last year. It's a better job in may ways than my previous job, but the change was not entirely voluntary. My previous employer found that they could not attract new, fresh-out-of-college engineers and manglement people (let alone less paid workers). "You will have to live two hours' drive away and will probably never be able to afford a house much closer than that," for some reason was not a compelling recruitment spiel. So in May of 2016 they let people know that they were beginning the 17-month process of moving everything to either a plant in PA or a plant in Orange County, CA.
The city in PA was basically a one-company town tech-wise, with no nearby cities. It would have been a dead end for me. My group, though, was going to Orange County. We would have left family, friends, church, doctors and dentist, the home we'd owned for over 25 years to start life again with a job in a union shop whose seniority rules would have stripped me of 6 years of seniority. So I started looking for a new job in Silicon Valley, with moving to Orange County being Plan B or C (if we were to move hundreds of miles away, why not consider other states?).
