Comrades

Giving health care, welfare, no income tax, free phones, reduced cost utilities, food banks, charity collectively all adds up…..

So….why not…. raise water costs to pay for it all

In reply to Dallas.

Agreed 100%.

On top of that, you have those who suggest that the loss of marine life in the process outweighs the benefit.

Splitting the state had merit with six areas to properly represent the populations.

SoCal is destroying the rest of the state with Sacto owned and ran by the LA basin.

As a NoCal guy who can’t get roads built, let alone reservoirs built, I see Brown as the greatest disaster in our history. That includes lives lost in earthquakes. His corruption has cost more lives.

It’s enough to make me a Republican. Where is the vision of the Democratic Party? We should have tripled our water storage capability fifteen years ago. Saying that adding water will lead to growth is the kind of thinking that kept BART from being built around San Francisco Bay in 1962. San Mateo was afraid that building BART would lead to higher population. Now they have the higher population and no BART.

Southern California spent millions on a desalination plant. Found
it to expensive to operate and scraped it. They said Northern water was cheaper.

Southern California can desalinate the ocean cheaper that Brown tunnel dream. Singapore and Israel buy fresh water from seawater on long-term contract cheaper than we pay for water.

The only thing stopping this water source is our regulatory agencies like the CCC. The effective cost of permits and bureaucratic nonsense makes the water cost two to three times higher than Israel or Singapore using the same technology.
