Easier? Salt it difficult (read costly) to remove. Louisiana can draw fresh water from the Mississippi River. They just have to filter out the piss, shit, and homeless people that float down from St. Louis.dbackjon wrote:JohnStOnge wrote:California has a water problem. And a water problem is a big problem.

Eh, I'm in the "it's all good" camp. Hawaii is gorgeous. I love Maine. West Virginia has some gorgeous areas. Lots of Pennsylvania is gorgeous. The Hudson River Valley and the stretch out to Syracuse in New York is some of the prettiest spots you'll see. Florida is pretty. I loved Oregon when I was there. That trip I took last year to Michigan (did the Upper Peninsula) opened my eyes to that part of the country. I've been to California and I've loved it. Just have loved other places as well.
But California as a whole has no peer. It’s the Heinz 57 of states, again just ruined by its government.

As I've said before, California is the cereal state - it's filled with fruits, flakes and nuts. Residents aside it is also filled with beautiful places. There are states with better beaches, better mountains, better whatever but I don't think there is a state with the variety and number of beautiful places and it has great weather to boot.SDHornet wrote:This sums it up nicely.

But they don't like nuclear power so they won't build new plants....which is a good thing. California will fall into the ocean soon...probably right after the Hawaiian islands implode...then we can hope Yellowstone goes...CAA Flagship wrote:OK.CID1990 wrote:

My grandfather owned a farm in North Hollywood and one of his neighbors shot another neighbor over water. This was when North Hollywood was an hour drive from LA. My grandma made him buy the farm when FDR got elected because it was the end of western civilization and everybody was going to need to grow their own food.

Re: All Things California
Actually CA is doing very well compared to IL and Jerry Brown is doing a much better job than tired old Bruce Rauner. But I couldn't pave my driveway in CA for what we paid for 25 acres with a house, barn, and pool. And this corner of IL is a hidden gem.Ivytalk wrote:Except Illinois.
