Now it's 9 times that give or take, and still growing. Ditto for other arid parts of the SW and Socal. People just keep filling the places up beyond capacity to support them and there's going to be a huge water crisis in that region in coming generations, one that makes this drought look like a pleasant spring rain.

Yea you are probably right.. It's just far too many people with far too little natural water sources. When I see all the farm land out here that requires irrigation (meaning ALL of it), it's pretty fucking clear that these people do not think about where the water comes from, but only how much can I grow.
