Now, if I didn't know better, I'd say this was written by one of those 
ignorant yahoos from So. Cal.

For starters, a LARGE % of golf courses in AZ use recycled sewer water.

Second, you don't have to have a water hog garden to have vegetation which 
anyone with little bit of sense knows!  You can have grass lawns by using 
buffalo grass.  Takes 1" of water a month.  Grown specifically for that 
purpose.  Duh!

Xeroscaping produces beautiful landscaping with little or no water and it 
isn't all succulants!

Ignorance, I don't give a damn, I want mine, and I'll excuse my unexcusable 
behavior by pointing the finger at someone else doing it are just plain, to 
be blunt, stupid and the reason this world is in the condition it is in!
