You own a share of Purissima's two main assets: $20M of pipes/tanks,
and the right to buy 800K units/year of water from SFPUC. For each
household, that's $10K and 780 gallons/day. I defend those property
rights, including the right to use the water you buy as you wish
(without harming the rest of us). I defend close local control of the
district while seeking savings via alternative arrangements for water
supply and district operations.
SFPUC is raising water costs to pay for overdue seismic upgrades. These
upgrades mean we can cancel an expensive project to make Quarry Lake an
emergency water source. That insurance is not worth the price. I also
voted against subsidies for candidate statements and a museum water
exhibit.
A Sacramento law was going to make the Hills adopt 33 pages of default
irrigation rules. I proposed an alternative that added a simple water
budget to the town's permitting process, leaving property owners free to
decide how to meet their budget. The town adopted my alternative.

I have just recently found your blog and have read through roughly 70% of it including most of the links and references. You have taught me a lot and it has been invaluable in helping me articulate my principles. I am almost 30 and just discovered I was Geolibertarian a few years ago after realizing how screwed up our politics/media has become. I would like to see more content during this election year. Just wanted to say thanks and to let you know you’re heard. I believe we can grow to become a more dominate party if we just keep sharing our beliefs and knowledge. Good luck!
