It seems like in a democratic society, people are wont to underprice resources like this. How does someone get elected to ban lawns or golf courses if the majority likes those things? The same issue occurs with trying to get people to do things that are good for them like drinking less, eating less red meat, and exercising more.

More like how does somebody get elected to ban almond farming. You could xeroscape the entire SW US and still not solve the water problem.
