cheese posted:Not quite the same. All the Yosemite/Hetch Hetchy water would end up in SF bay via the San Joaquin Delta anyway. In CA, moving water on the east-west axis is very different than the north-south axis (in general, and with some exceptions). Good to hear there are inherent rules of water piping on when it is and isn't okay. You're allowed to pipe water two watersheds over but god help you if it's north-south.

Zeitgueist posted:The only thing that got any new higher density buildings in LA built is that they're all luxury units taking advantage of the crazy market. No one has ever built cheap new buildings. The only way to get lower price apartments is to have older units. The fact that people are working hard to nimby everything is going to be a major problem as California goes forward.

My girlfriend and I visited our friends in SF not too long ago on a weekend when the bridge was closed for maintenance, so the BART was running until 2 or 3 AM. We left the bar to go home and it was like the scene in loving Batman Begins where the League of Shadows gassed the Narrows. The subway platform was packed, shoulder to shoulder. That's normal BART nub

Also for LA the Santa Monica area is the single biggest employment concentration so by the definition of "city limits only" has a lot of reverse commuting from LA to West Hollywood, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, or Burbank. These are all artifacts of the loose city of LA boundaries. Edit: Here is population vs. employment density for LA.

Go forth and tell me everything wrong with it if you must. No, most of America is nice. Edit: I mean really the problems are just traffic, smog, temperature, and the people who live there. It would be nice without those and some more rain.

GuyDudeBroMan posted:So what you are saying is that water is a communal good and this is the reason why it is susceptible to tragedy of the commons. if it wasn't communal and actually had an owner, tragedy of the commons would not apply. Over grazing (the Tragedy) doesnt happen on the privately owned pasture, only on the communal (common) one? Yeah man thats right.

Back Hack posted:As someone who comes from a state who's problem is getting rid of an over abundance of water, is there a specific reason why there are so many Californians trying to farm in extremely arid or desert like areas other than because they have "water rights"? Even places where it is a genuine desert, irrigating in places like the Coachella valley creates by far the most productive ($/acre) farmland in the US. It's not sustainable for a number of reasons but no the productivity is absolutely unmatched. Edit: California cropland value 2014 was 10140 $/acre. National average was 4100 $/acre. The $10140 is aggregate over the state, with by far the highest values coming from irrigated desert in the south. Bip Roberts fucked around with this message at 15:11 on Jul 21, 2015 |

My experience with cars at stop lights is a car will get the the light a full three seconds before you get there and then just stay parked. You slow down, stop, put down a foot, they gingerly wave you through the intersection and then you get back up to speed because they're too stupid to know the rules of the road.
