Stillwater cove pier got jacked up. It's the pier inside of pebble beach golf course
The perpetual drought narrative in CA is kinda BS. Commercial and residential water service is consistently reliable and has been for a very long time. We definitely could use additional storage capacity and its coming, but water deliveries aren’t failing anywhere and the ag industry which holds most of the rights you’re referencing gets enough water to grow more food than any other place in the world.It won't stop the rain but we will be in a drought regardless of how much we have. We lack storage and water "rights" are more then we ever collect.
I’ll reply tomorrow with facts when I’m not on this damn iPad. cliffs notes version at the very least the water rights are over %100 of what we collect but there is so much more to it.The perpetual drought narrative in CA is kinda BS.

There are water quality issues in some parts of CA which are far more concerning, but no one is on a boil water order afaik.
There are towns in east bay that had no water a few years back from drought. They had to use bottle water.The perpetual drought narrative in CA is kinda BS.

I was in Southern California for that and I don’t remember anywhere near this level of chaos/destructionThis all reminds me of El Niño in the 90’s.
lived in Big Sur and the highway washed into it he ocean. The canyon we lived up was a river. It was wild. People airlifted out.
Lived in my mom’s work parking lot in a borrowed camper for a few months.
I remember the 90s in Sacramento. School got flooded but we still showed up anyway. Classes were held in the cafeteria. Fuck yeahI was in Southern California for that and I don’t remember anywhere near this level of chaos/destruction
SF has gotten more rain than the last 150 years
I’m pretty familiar. The bottom line is that the state is empowered to bypass appropriative water rights to prioritize health and safety, ie, municipal delivery, and we collect 10x what we need for municipal use. The rest just determines commercial ag production totals…it’s an economic issue.I’ll reply tomorrow with facts when I’m not on this damn iPad. cliffs notes version at the very least the water rights are over %100 of what we collect but there is so much more to it.
It was legitimately raining when I was driving home from yoga.A light mist in scenic Orange County.

I remember our lunches in elementary school had to be trucked in and I used to volunteer to pass them out to students. Miss those square pizzas and those frozen icey things
