I don't wanna sound like an annoying libertarian, but would it be the same if water was privatized in CA?

Seems reasonable to assume a private company would solely increase the price of water and gradually try to find other ways to solve the problem.




Ah, the classic naive geek. All it would take to implement your plan is:

1) Become dictator of all California via military coup. 2) Create water monopoly that has rights over all water sources. 3) Regulate said water utility.

Totally reasonable.


That's not the implementation of something like that. Actually, apart from military coup, your plan looks exactly like the current system.

I can't tell if that was an irony...
