Just looking at the situation there as they are in the third year of a worsening drought.

Here's a quote from an article that shows their policies to be even more stupid than ours.....

"Despite the water conservation efforts, we wish to remind you that limited watering is still required to keep landscaping looking healthy and green," says the letter, which gives Korte and Whitney 60 days to restore their lawn.

They're among residents caught in the middle of conflicting government messages as the need for conservation clashes with the need to preserve attractive neighborhoods.

"My friends in Los Angeles got these letters warning they could be fined if they water, and I got a letter warning that I could be fined for not watering," Whitney said. "I felt like I was in an alternate universe."

Having said that, I wish our governments would enforce the maintenance of front gardens, the way that they do!

If people don't do it themselves, the local authourity will do it and charge for it.

I see your hair is burning/Hills are filled with fire.

According to Jim Morrison LA was tinder-dry as long ago as 1969.

Californian vagrants never move on as the climate is similar all year long? I was told this when i was there in 2004 whilst watching the old timers taking on all comers in the "chess square." You pay just to sit down at the table, pay when you lose, (it's more likely most will) then pay when you leave. Not a bad way to earn some $$$$$

California dreaming indeed.

Not just Morrison, Albert Hammond also gave us the heads up years ago.
