The swimming pools and those stupid lawns that have to be watered daily just to exist (lawns in a desert!) would annoy me more than a farm growing things that people actually eat.

I agree. But Selleck's farm in particular is a hobby for him, not his livelihood. And because he's got the money, he can circumvent the laws that restrict water usage for people like him while people who actually farm for a living cannot.

Yes, but he employs other people to work the farm. And those are trees. They take years to get into production, you don't just plow them over each season and start fresh each year like strawberries or lettuce.

I don't think half the people here griping about irrigating a farm have a clue how agriculture works.

All the other farms who don't have Selleck's financial advantages also employ people (arguably more of them since they're not doing it for a hobby) and some of them also have tree crops, though. Don't get me wrong, I'd be said if his avocado trees died due to lack of water, but this is a problem every single farmer in the drought area is facing. Selleck at least doesn't have to worry about going bankrupt and losing his shirt if his farm fails.

agreed. sure, it would be nice if he had been charitable to his fellow farmers, or maybe watered the trees just well enough for them to survive... but it's still pretty neutral behavior.

residential water usage makes up around 10% of the state's total usage. all those rich people could stop filling their pools and watering their laws immediately and it wouldn't begin to make a dent. our problem is that a desert isn't meant to be farm land, and industry saps us of every other bit of our water.
