I met a guy who runs an almond farm when I was camping over the summer.  Asked him about this when I was hammered one night.  He said most have seen the writing on the wall and have switched to drip irrigation and no longer flood the fields.  At least that's what I recall.

My grandfather was a grape farmer and I remember, as a kid, going out and irrigating the vineyard with him using these siphon tubes that moved water from one row to the other. You could tell that this method required a lot of water so in the mid to late 90's he switched it over to a drip system. I spend a lot of time in the Central Valley and notice that cherry and walnut orchards still are being irrigated by soaking them very well while other trees use drip. I'm sure certain trees require certain watering techniques.

I feel no sympathy for them. I’ve been saying that his soft in crime policies is what the people want.

LA Liability Claims

Quote

 Liability claims are payments the city makes to people it has injured when it’s failed to meet its responsibilities, or when officials and employees directly harm people, or fail to prevent avoidable harm. And a “significant portion” of the money comes out of the general fund, which pays for city services and resources, the controller’s office said in a statement.

Sounds like LA needs to hire people that know how to drive their vehicles.

Ive seen a lot less homeless than 1-3 years ago

While its still a mess, someone deserves some credit for something

 

Im nearly sure its a result as a lot of unnecessary extra spending and theres probably corrupt people everywhere pocketing off this "success" for a problem they intentionally started

but anyway, its a less shittier now, and that should be acknowledged

21,000 housed or 2,1000, it's too close to quibble about. Trust the Mayor because she is moving with urgency to spend $315 million when the original budget was 65 million.

I wouldn't say it was "intentional" but it is a direct result of cuts to mental health services, the virtual impossibility of building housing in most cities, and a lot of people profiting off opioids.

Los Angeles considers reparations for families forced off land where Dodger Stadium stands

But before its construction in 1962, the area was home to thousands of residents, many of whom were of Mexican, Chinese and Italian descent. Nearly 1,800 of those families were displaced from the land later used to build the stadium. State legislators are now considering a bill seeking reparations for the families.

Mccourt still owns the parking lot. I've always thought that was a strange move, and that they would eventually build a new stadium elsewhere.
