This is a classic example of post-hoc analysis. It like American presidents who are always there to claim credit for any minor economic or job growth but quick to blame the job loss and any other negative effect on economy on "someone else who is evil".
So California had water shortage and they decided to use the resource wisely? Everyone except federal government knows that you can spend the resource you dont have.
I would like to know why California as a state and other cities have not invested in increasing number of reservoirs, not allowed desalination and other things despite the population of California has doubled in last 30 years. Part of this is the bone headed environmentalists who would rather save few trouts than saving human beings but I think the the local bodies arent putting up a fight either.
It's hard for most people to accept that the situation is often beyond immediate and total human control, and instead use blame as a shortcut and abdication of responsibility and power. It's like sociolological bikeshedding instead of working on positive solutions to modify lifestyles toward prevention. Such is human nature, but thankfully it's not an universal condition.
