I am not sure if things are different in California, but at the state/local level, the only editing needed is to replace Sacramento with Tallahassee to describe similar issues in Florida.

Don't know about FL but in CA the main issue is out of control spending. We have plenty of $$$$ it's just wasted by the Dems in Sacramento. It's be very interesting to see what a full detailed audit of all State agencies would reveal.
I'm just saying the developer campaign contribution thing is a way of life here as well.
IMHO California's main issue = SF Bay is going to get The Big One'd
IMHO Florida's main issue = Jacksonville or Tampa is going to get 4'd or 5'd
YMMV
When SB827 was in the works back in 2017 thanks to Scott Weiner I made a bunch of posts about these "transportation corridors" and how the state was rearranging them.
People in seaside SLO county thought it was a great idea.lol.
Around my neighborhood you can now build up to 8 stories high and few blocks away up to 10 stories. Also, parking codes have been eliminated, so there are no parking requirements for any new project.
All this has been pushed through because of "climate change".
They want more density, and they want you to have the freedom of an e-bike (not a car).
This is what the people want, until they get it, then they complain, then they go and vote for the exact same candidates because the earth is burning up and trans.
lol!
You know better than that.
And tell us more about how CA doesn't have to worry about water for all this new density...because those magic water-making inventions that don't exist yet but you know are going to exist will be supplying it.

I didn't tell you anything about water.
You're a condo dweller (presumably because you couldn't afford a SFH) trying to build a moat against anyone else affording your lifestyle.
41% agriculture and 10% urban?
I'd napalm almonds ages before I'd worry about higher density housing.
He WILL NOT let anyone else live in a pod
He WILL NOT accept economic competition for his sustenance insects
One would think so, but IRL it never seems to happen, at least in desirable areas.
Do I need to pull up the posts where I'm asking about water vs increasing density, you tell me it's not to worry because of new water tech, and then admit you have no idea of any such water tech?
Whatever that means.
Do you really think developers AKA the new environmentalists will take these sorts of losses on their projects? Fvck no.
My anti-development activities go back to long before I lived in a pod.
I'm 100% NIMBY.
Cool. What is a bigger concern for water use, the Agriculture Industry or residential usage?
What if they don't bathe, eat bugs and edibles, but don't break down their Amazon Prime boxes?
