Meanwhile, San Diego, which was in worse shape than Corpsu, is now selling water.

Interesting.

I'm going to be working with one of the scientists from the Harte Research Institute that put together the study about salinity in the Inner Harbor. I've got a project related to that subject that we're working on right now.

I'd love to see that! My dream job when I retire is to beachcomb with Jace Tunnell!

What f'ing morons. So instead of pursuing the long-term proper solution they are just going to focus on half measures of which one of them is being fought in the legal arena.

This is going to be a billion dollars on top of the other billion dollars we're spending on all three of those projects: The groundwater project, the brackish water desal project, and the wastewater reuse project," Hernandez said.


And they are still crying about the environmental impacts. Cool. When the city fails because there is no water and everyone moves away, then you will get your pristine environment.

I obviously recognize the sarcasm but the irony here is that it's going to become an environmental nightmare when there's no water and things begin being abandoned and left to the elements.

Also this. It's wild watching a city potentially commit suicide in real-time.

Looks like they also approved new Level 1 critical water shortage policies as well, so they aren't going to solve the problem while simultaneously prepping the community for more restrictions.

And they voted to move forward with impeachment of mayor over completely separate issue.

All around great leadership there.
