In my opinion, much of the farming in Southern California needs to end. Or at least we should revisit the now 100-year-old agreement on how the Colorado River water is used. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_River_Compact

California is habitable, but they need to import food from the midwest and elsewhere rather than insisting on growing it in the desert with borrowed water.

If you think Glasgow is t-short weather all year round, you are quite inured to the cold and wet.

Glasgow is drier than Rome, and on average about 5° cooler at any given time of year.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by "drier" ?
The issue is that you want to live in a desert but with a lifestyle like you're not in a desert.
The hard conversation you need to have is that California is not habitable. There's no water and there's nowhere to grow food. If you want to make it habitable you'll need to turn all those golf courses into farms, raise cows on them, plant more trees, and try to expand those green areas as much as you can.
If you want to live in a green city, move to Glasgow, where there's loads of water and because it never gets above about 25°C or below about 5°C it's t-shirt weather all year round and you don't need to refrigerate your house.
