Too bad, governor.
My landscape is brown and I’ve even reduced showers, but I bet governor has done nothing to conserve. Knowing his hypocrisy he is probably used more water while telling us to use less
Oh no! What’s the emperor going to do to us little people?

Conserve water in houses that are already set up with every water saving device from last drought and rules for new construction. What a joke. Quit building new houses till you figure out how to use what we have and store more water. Also this house if shortage is a joke. Think of how many houses are used for just Vacation rental sales online and only that. We have let them all screw us over and now we pay there price for not controlling how this state uses it’s water storage. Quit voting for these same old politicians there not in it for us

If there’s water to grow pot, there’s water for our lawns…
Your lawn does absolutely nothing. It provides nothing. You nor the wildlife derive no actual use from it. It’s useless, and it’s an objective waste of water.
Cannabis, well, has uses, some of them well documented by medical science. Its fiber is invaluable, without hemp rope there would have literally been no crossing of the oceans, no America. Its seeds are a superfood with a complete amino acid profile, a rare thing non-animal sources. It’s also a hardy plant that requires far less water.
@Anon You need to educate yourself regarding lawns and trees. I never said there weren’t some legitimate uses for pot/hemp but my lawn is functional and not just pretty.
My lawn and trees provide cooling for my home and eliminate/minimize my use of AC which uses electricity. My lawn and trees, through the process of photosynthesis, take in carbon dioxide and subsequently release oxygen into the atmosphere. I’ll think I’ll keep my lawn and trees. Water for all!
Wow, Tsa! That’s the best argument I have every seen on this platform. If marijuana has benefits, smoking the whole neighborhood is not one of them. It is only a matter of time before we have evidence that the smoke is dangerous. It should be obvious; all smoke is dangerous.

I havent changed my use, which hasnt changed since last drought when i reduced as much as possible, im used to a dead brown lawn and plants in the yard. Nothing else i can do to reduce water usage, probably the same as all others in the state.
If they didnt keep building houses the water would be fine, but more houses means lost more water used.

My grass is green at my house.
Why, it is fertizlied. When it is watered, twice a week now only, it is done at night to reduce evaporation. There is no run off on my lawn because we installed the sprinkler correctly. All of the garden is on drip irrigation, again no water run off. We also use city recycled water for some of our plants. All water fixtures in the house are low flow.
What more can I do?
Kill the lawn that I spent 100+ hours setting up so it is green with no waste?
Kill the vegetable garden and spend more money at the store buying fruits and veggies?
Don’t flush between uses …
Shower every 2-3 days … ever smell a high school male that has not showered in a day? Espicially one that plays sports/work outs? And they cannot use the shower at the school because of COVID?

Sounds like we need to stop building more residences. We do not have the water for what we already have so then the water emergency overrules the housing “emergency”.
Unless Gavin is going to run purple pipes to supply the new residences with only recycled water, we have to fix the water scarcity problem first.

Lawns are objectively an enormous waste of water, they provide nothing for neither the owner nor wildlife. They’re trash and they should be discouraged completely outside of the handful of regions that can actually support them naturally.
wanna bet, water costs are going up, stop consumption with higher costs to consumers, a Win-Win for the Water Companies, no additional Capital Expenditures to capture more run-off, feed the bloated pension Plan and raises for all … all under the disguise and narrative … we’re doing this for your own good

So now Newsom has signed SB9 and SB10 into law which will allows builders to cram multiple residences onto what were previously single-family zoned lots. Seems like the water problem (and electricity problem) is about it get a lot worse.

Where was the outreach? There was no effort or campaigns that I’m aware of that asked residents to cut back water use.

Newsom continues to build high density housing near many Bay Area Bart stations and other transit hubs subsidized by the remaining taxpayers. Those buildings will draw huge amounts of water and power. And now he us wants us to conserve water and power. What hypocrisy….

Once again, the hypocrisy from your leaders is so outrageous! I’ve stated before that we have a relative that resides near Newsom’s place in Marin County. She told us over the July 4th weekend he had a large gathering. He lives on a very GREEN and manicured 1+ acre. To keep that looking the way it is according to our relatives husband would require more daily water than 10+ households use daily, but hey…he’s the Gov and he’s obviously feeling the spirit so water police stay away.

Meanwhile in the real world away from leftist political propaganda, the Palm Springs Surf Club project is scheduled to open within a year with a three million gallon wave pool water park to recreate the beach surfing experience in Palm Springs. How many Bay Area democrats are carefully counting their water usage and shaming others for green lawns completely unaware of this. Oh, and did I mention there are two other water parks planned also in Palm Desert and Thermal, CA.
Too bad, governor.

Thanks Anon for the potheads view. You sound like one of my kids.
Get off my lawn !
Obviously, a lush, green landscape provides cooling relief on hot days more so than xeriscape, wall to wall rocks, or plain, old ordinary dirt.
Also, the birds who hunt bugs and worms in my lawn might disagree with you.
Even Biden thinks she’s nuts.
