	You do not know much abour California, Northern or Southern.
	San Francisco in the early 20th Century got approval amd built a
dam in the Sierra in a canyon as big as Yosemite and has a large 
reservoir there as well as a hydro-power generating facility.
	
	Los Angeles stole the water from thee Owens Valley about the
same time and then later negotiated for Colorado River water. The
watershed of the Colorado of late has been drier than normal and
it is hard to get water that is not there.

	So Southern California conceived a grand solution to their
water problems. The result was the Delta Water project which extracts
water from the Delta of the Sacramento-San Joaquin river and via a
long canal ships it south to LA. That is not good for either the
wildlife of the rivers or the agricultural interests of the Central
Valley of California but the people of LA and their swimming pools
must be served.
	So Southern California was a desert land most of the time
but that meant nothing to the Real Estate interests of the South.

	So Southern California should be abandoned by all but the
entertainment industry and the retirees should move to Florida.:^(
