  • 80% of water usage in CA is agricultural, and over a third of that is for water-intensive crops like nuts and alfalfa.

    Add on top of that that half of all domestic water usage in CA is for watering lawns and it becomes obvious that multi-family housing is severely not the problem. Apartment-dwellers use drastically less water than single-family homeowners, but it all pales in comparison to the terrible land use decisions made by Central Valley farmers and enabled by the state.




  • I went to the nursery this weekend and loaded up on natives for my front yard. I’d tried to do sowing of native meadow seed last fall but it didn’t take. I think squirrels and birds ate most of it before spring. So now we’re doing intentional planting.

    But it was a grass lawn before and now it’s not so progress at least.
