Is it just me or does it piss anyone else off that the City/County of San Diego are instituting mandatory water restrictions without curtailing new building permits?

How can they say with a straight face “We don’t have enough water, you have to cut back” and at the same time are allowing new hookups?

At least in Santa Barbara during the 80’s when they instituted water rationing (and everyone had a brown lawn) they imposed a building moratorium.

It’s not like we have a shortage of housing in the county…rents are falling, vacancies are up and there are many months of housing inventory on the market, ignoring the shadow inventory of up and coming foreclosures.

I’m more pissed my hoa sent me a letter reminding me to keep my lawn green (I guess they think I’m a squatter), despite CA water shortage.

To piss my HOA off, I might just get a can of green spray paint and paint my brown spots over….neon green that is.

Thank goodness I don’t have HOA. I can’t stand them. If there’s HOA in my area, they would have given me so many citation, it wouldn’t be funny. When you’re so busy fixing up the inside of your house, you tend to forget the outside for awhile.

I’m mixed on this one wrto to HOA. I don’t think mine are overbearing. They usually leave people alone….Unless someone calls and complains. It helps if one of your neighbors decides to paint their fence Forbidden City red or start planing trees/bushes at/on the property line.
