Re:San Francisco's zoning makes it illegal to build apartmen... by zasz on Thursday July 19, 2018 @12:06PM (#17567624)
The vast majority of California's water usage is agricultural. http://www.ppic.org/main/publication_show.asp?i=1108

In fact, an apartment dweller uses only as much water in a year as is required to grow $200 worth of almonds. http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2015/01/almonds-nuts-...

Acting like we can't build more housing because of the longstanding drought is a seriously NIMBY argument that is usually made in bad faith. Not that you're making it in bad faith, I'm just giving some context for the sake of being informative.
