CA Cities to Lose All Zoning Powers in 2 Days

Because California with its infinite water supply can definitely support an infinite increase in population, right?

Higher density areas don't solve a single problem. They make areas less desirable. They displace wildlife (less green areas, because WE NEED MORE HOUSING). Pandemics love density.

Higher density means more people, more local spending power, more local businesses, more demand for workers that translates into more demand for people and thus again yet again and so on and so forth. There's no end to this cycle.

The answer is less population, not more.

If the new construction is near the coast, more desalination plants is a solution. Most California water usage is agricultural anyways.

Regarding wildfires, what we really need are more goats. Armies and armies of goats. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/goats-may...
