A thought on future housing prices due to something we take for granted: water

[Nor-LA-SD-guy]

At some point desalination becomes viable option, but I agree with esmith

“It may drive home prices UP rather than down. Water shortages will put an end to indiscriminate building and cut off the supply of new housing.”

In Valencia prices have held up somewhat better than expected just because they limited home building because of no water supply for the new area’s.

This may become a state mandate (limit home building etc…)

As for people leaving the state, not likely , Socal grows at the rate of about 1600 people per day, day in day out..

Agribusiness uses over 80% of CA water. Do the math. There’s no shortage if we get rid of cotton rice and alfalfa. They can grow the stuff somewhere that doesnt compete with human consumption. The availability of jobs will have a much bigger impact on home prices than water.

Renters are not exempted. Sooner or later, they will have their own water meters in a lot of the apartments or they will be charged excessively.
