I was in San Diego from 96 to 06. I enjoyed the outdoor resources and casualness, but hated the cost of living and governance. Glad I’m gone too.

No. It will just mean I have to get up earlier to take a shower AND RINSE OFF.

Everyone already flushes the low flow toilets twice.

When I remodeled my house I saved the Kohler toilets I had originally put in in 1986, just before the low-flow laws were enacted.

One flush and it is done and done.

My lib sister in Glendale, CA has a garden hose she runs into the bathroom to take care of the low-flow problem.

Yeah, and she drives a Prius.

Won’t save a drop!

Just force people to take longer showers to get clean.

(drilling the shower head is the intelligent choice, or making your own out of a pipe coupling and a pipe plug with holes drilled in it)

I was thinking as I was reading responses, enterprising individual+black market=satisfying shower, clean hands... Can’t wait for the first press conference after a state, local, and federal task force takes down an illicit plumbing supply.

The company I work for makes a product with a voc level higher than allowed in California. Low voc doesn’t work. Surprisingly we do no business in California and an outrageous amount of sales in Nevada.

It’s hard as hell to take a shower as it is and now they want a further restriction.

Maybe I just fill one of them 10 gallon camping showers and start showering in the backyard....

The lonely neighbor ladies would probably appreciate the morning view....

They should ban showers.

That law wouldn't affect most liberals. That's why they like Bernie. Too damn much personal hygiene'in goin' on.

Easiest thing to do is go to a demo contractors storage yard, You can get some of those great old fashioned Standard Porcelain Water closets for about 5 bucks.
