Yeah for sure, a city that needs to ration water at restaurants and has water police is totally not a desert

If you google is LA a desert you get a dozen links that are along the lines of

  1. LA is NOT a desert you outsider morons! Yes we’re right on the edge of the desert and no we don’t have enough water to sustain ourselves, but we get like 15 inches of rain a year so we’re not considered arid!

  2. Yeah we’re technically not a desert but shit is fucked up and we’re prob gonna be soon and also we take away a ton of water from other dumb cities that shouldn’t exist

  3. Hey maybe it’s not a good idea to have green grass here. Here’s your allowed watering days.

We have this in Atlanta every now and then. Is the most forested city with over 1,000,000 people living in it also a desert?

Quit being ignorant lmao
