I don't envy you. I lived in CA at a much better time and it was still fvcked up. Your politicians, by their actions/non actions have proven that they have no practical sense. You've got trains that go nowhere but accumulation of deadfall in your forests when your state has the propensity for wildfires. You desperately need water but let it flow to the ocean to protect the Delta Smelt. You have rampant homelessness fostering the spread of Medieval diseases. Every one of your state's major problems can be solved by solving your water problems though. Where is the leadership from your state?
