It seems like the least efficient way to solve the problem. Theres lots of water in many places in the US, if water is just allowed to be priced by how scarce it is in California, maybe people will move to a place where it’s not such a big deal.

This is the sort of low quality reply that made me think twice about commenting. Every time I mention it it's another set of poor quality, no thought, drive by responses and downvotes.

Why do you think it's good to let the productive agricultural land of CA lay fallow? Why do you want areas in the east to go without proper flood control? Why do you think national food security is not a priority? I could go on... Read up on it if you like, or don't. Whatever.

I’m not a fan of people who say a comment is low quality because someone disagrees with them. I’m not going to engage any further with this discussion.

Disagreement is not the reason. You responded that you thought it was preferable to depopulate the most productive state in the nation. Come on man.
