Not only is it wrong, but the premise itself is flawed. Cost of living varies widely between municipal areas, and even between neighborhoods. State level extrapolations like this are useless

California’s groundwater drought continues despite torrential rain in c/los_angeles@infosec.pub

California has a number of operational desalination plants and several significant projects currently in development. Desalination isn't just some cure-all, it's very expensive and comes with an environmental toll

I haven't read the article because it's paywalled, but there are a variety of types of aquifers that refill at very different rates, and I'm assuming California has a type that fills very slowly. Here in Central Texas the Edwards Aquifer recharges like a lake and can refill very quickly, while in West Texas north to Nebraska the Ogallala Aquifer takes thousands of years to recharge and is basically a finite water source

'It's just going to ruin our life' | Large mixed-use apartments could be new reality for North Austin neighborhood (www.kvue.com)
 

I know this will sound callous of me, but fuck this NIMBY bullshit, and also KVUE for promoting it. This apartment complex is going up a 60 second walk from the Highland Station on the Red Line. Throw a rock and you can hit both Airport Blvd and 2222. This is the geographical center of Austin near some of the busiest intersections in the city. It's not reasonable to expect the vacant lot behind your house will stay that way.

The man said while waiting for his rideshare to arrive, he was flagged down by the suspect. Mistakenly thinking it was his rideshare, he got into the front seat without verifying the vehicle or driver information.

According to the affidavit, the suspect offered the man a drink from an open container, which he accepted. The man said shortly after taking a drink, he blacked out and had no memory of what occurred for several hours.

Yeah please don't do this

Hole In The Wall dodges closure, secures 20-year lease with $1.6M from city (www.austinmonitor.com)
 

The Hole In The Wall music venue has secured a 20-year lease and will remain open to celebrate its 50th anniversary next summer, thanks largely to $1.6 million in assistance from the city’s Iconic Venue Fund.

Will Tanner, who purchased the club located on the stretch of Guadalupe Street known as The Drag in 2008, signed the new lease agreement – an initial 10-year lease with two five-year extensions – with The Weitzman Group realty firm on Monday. The signing followed 10 months of negotiation and work with staff from the city and the Austin Economic Development Corporation to become the first recipient of city funds allocated to preserve culturally significant music venues.

[T]emperatures have reached the century mark for 27 days in a row. With records dating back to the 1890s, that ties with 2011 as the longest stretch of triple-digit temperatures ever recorded in Austin.

The KXAN First Warning Weather team is currently forecasting at least seven more days at or above 100°, which would extend the streak past 30 days.
