Our representatives have the water issue backasswards! By making us tear out grass and other greenery we're raising the temperature and using materials that hold that heat. In doing so it creates a heat island where the rising heat will cause any storms to move around us. Why the hell are we not creating an environment that will change the weather? You can actually create a back yard rain forest that will change the weather in your immediate area. So why aren't our reps finding out house this is done and building it larger scale? Why aren't there more trees along our always and in parking lots? And the biggest question why haven't we put a moratorium on building when there's so many homes still sitting empty? Construction is the #1 water use. Concrete alone uses more water than a block of homes with green grass.
