At some point the overbuilding is going to backfire and we'll see property values plummet when we don't have the natural resources to support it. Since the greed will not evaporate, we'll just have to pray for sufficient rains or be content with rock landscaping as seen in developments in desert areas "out West". Enjoy the golf courses while we still have them.

You seem to be a bit stressed.
First if you read the bill posted at the start of this thread you will find they have exceptions for new lawns.
RE: Overbuilding
I was shocked to discover since I was born the population of the US has doubled. In other parts of the world it is even higher.
RE: Greedy builder
This place does so well because they offer what people want. WHAT YOU WANTED WHEN YOU BOUGHT. Fortunately, if you feel you made the wrong choice you can easily sell your place and move. My view is you can be happy or miserable anywhere. No place is perfect.
ASIDE: I just heard on the radio that due to ocean temperatures they expect eight hurricanes this year that is far more than we have gotten used to in recent years.
We may shortly find posts complaining about too much water..
