I don't hate California at all, I'm a Washington Liberal.

But the agriculture in California in the face of climate change is completely unsustainable. It is up there with the coal mining and fracking in Pennsylvania.

We need to properly manage the crisis and reduce the amount of human suffering involved because uprooting people in painful.

The alternative seems like we could wind up having literal water wars at some point. This proposal caps the diversion at 5% but that seems the same as building more freeways to me, which just causes more traffic. Give California more water and the agricultural industry will expand and you'll kick the can down the road again.
