A great event with a few surprising attendees. All enjoyed the libations, appetizers, and good company.
Can't wait until next year's event.
"I love Elk Grove"!
This city is well on its way to becoming another steaming dumpster fire of suburban sprawl and gridlocked streets.
Where does the water come from?
What the developers are asking for is this; approve my plans so I make money and oh, by the way, everybody in Elk Grove has to conserve more water to free up some for me.
It's not just a land grab. It's a water grab too.
This is where the state needs to step in and declare a moratorium. No new development until the drought is over, unless the development supplies its own water through wastewater recycling, desalination or catchment. No relying on overstressed groundwater.
Elk Grove exploded from 25,000 population to the 160,000 sprawl-monster that it is today this.
They will continue to eat up farmland for haphazard helter kelter low density development until they are forced to stop.
