Neo-Democrats in the California legislature passed a law that awaits Gov. Gavin Newsom’s signature, and he will undoubtedly sign it. They’re banning nonfunctional grass! They think it’s a waste of water to have decorative lawns.
What happens to all the carbon dioxide grass devours?
The authoritarians will allow turf in sports fields, parks, cemeteries, outdoor areas, and other “community spaces.” Also exempt are areas where grass is irrigated with recycled water.
The Law states:
This bill would make legislative findings and declarations concerning water use, including that the use of potable water to irrigate nonfunctional turf is wasteful and incompatible with state policy relating to climate change, water conservation, and reduced reliance on the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta ecosystem. The bill would direct all appropriate state agencies to encourage and support the elimination of irrigation of nonfunctional turf with potable water.
It’s permanent, even when there’s no drought. There goes all the sod farms, fertilizer manufacturers, and grass cutters.
Whatever will the people in Beverly Hills do? They will probably recycle water and keep their lawns.
Democrats are a threat to democracy!
Leo Hohmann made a list of things Democrats don’t want us to have. Here’s a partial list of what Democrats want to ban: wood stoves, gas stoves, heat pumps, gas generators, gas cars, air travel, gas everything, cold medication, cash, identity privacy, borders, firearms, and more.

I remember once reading about an Oregon rancher who was told he could not collect the rain water running down a slope on his land for his cattle. The courts ruled the State of Oregon owns all rainwater falling on the state including that which falls on private property.
They will probably flush the saved water out to sea like they did with the water from the record snow pack a few years ago.
california shitplace, all those billions blew by, no water bombers, no reservoirs. newsom is a crook.
Next CA will ban toilets and make you use an outhouse, because toilets use too much water. The homeless are already conserving water by using the streets to urinate and defecate in CA.
For once I agree with CA lunatics. Lawns serve no purpose and waste water. Also millions of people spray them with weed poison over and over that runs off into the rivers and water supply.
Idiot!
I may not get the point of lawns myself, but that’s besides the point. Were we still in a free society, an individual should have the right to having a lawn, regardless of the opinions of others or the opinion of a government that increasingly behaves as if it’s GODvernment.
