    It never rains in California

    Cadillac Desert: The American West and Its Disappearing Water, Revised EditionA lot of people don’t know this, but my old home town, San Diego, is technically a desert.

    If climate change experts are right, things in Sunny SoCal could get even drier.

    By the end of the century, temperatures are predicted to increase by 3 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit statewide. That could translate into even less rainfall across the southern half of the state, already under pressure from the increased frequency of wildfires and relentless population growth.

    And housing is so damn expense. Glad I live in New York now.
