I'd hoped that my very sarcastic approach to Janik's column was understood for what it is. Bitterly sarcastic humor. But just to be safe, let's say this as bluntly as possible.

If Janik truly proposes terminating construction of multi-family residences in order to conserve water, then we must terminate all residential construction, since Multi-Family residences consume vastly smaller amounts of water per person than single family homes. So if Janik wants to shut down MFR - then we best shut it all down, should we not? [very sarcastic humor there again - just to be sure that sinks in].

California got serious about saving water 20 years ago. CA REDUCED water consumption by INCREASING construction of multi-family housing with high efficiency water conserving appliances.

If Scottsdale truly wants to ban construction of water sucking residences, the 6,000' single story home on a 2 acre lot with a pool is the first thing to go - not the last.
