Subsidence in California is real and has been a known real threat to the State for over 60 years, but has been ignored while the State invests billions in feel good "stuff" ignoring their real threat. Not only is most of California reverting back to being a desert, large portions of it is sinking. Then add to that you have millions of illiterate illegals dumbing the State down while consuming massive social benefits.

I've been saying for years, if you own property in California sell while it still has some value. Soon there will only be the super rich and the super poor, just as in Mexico.

California is infected and there is no cure.

MOUNTAIN HOUSE (CBS13) — The wealthy community of Mountain House is days away from having no water at all after the state cut off its only water source.

Anthony Gordon saves drinking water just in case, even though he never thought it would come to this.

“My wife thinks I’m nuts. I have like 500 gallons of drinking water stored in my home,” he said.

The upscale community of Mountain House, west of Tracy, is days away from having no water. It’s not just about lawns—there may not be a drop for the 15,000 residents to drink.

“We’re out there looking for water supplies as we speak,” said Mountain House general manager Ed Pattison. “We have storage tanks, but those are basically just to ensure the correct pressurization of the distribution system. No more than 2 days are in those storage tanks.”

The community’s sole source of water, the Byron-Bethany Irrigation District, was one of 114 senior water rights holders cut off by a curtailment notice from the state on Friday.

That means Mountain House leaders must find someone to sell them water, hopefully, the GM says, to have enough until the end of the year. But he admits, the best they can hope for is a costly short-term fix.
“We don’t want this town to become a ghost town, it was a beautiful master-planned community ” he said.

I bet you can pick up a really nice home there dry dirt cheap!
