That's what they get for trying to grow grass in a desert.

The part of L.A. I grew up in--Palos Verdes Peninsula--was a desert when we built the first home in our sub in 1962. Today the entire peninsula looks like it's in some tropical forest, what with all the green lawns, imported trees, plants and vegetation liberally watered over the decades.

No more. A friend of mine who still lives there says his lawn and the lawns of his neighborhood are quickly dying and browning due to water restrictions.

In the end, nature has its way.
