Southern California gets most of their water from the Colorado River and the Eastern Sierra, not Northern California.
And anyone from the San Francisco peninsula jawing about Southern California "stealing" water should look in a mirror and ask why they are so special as to deserve to rape Yosemite National Park for *their* water supply from Hetch Hetchy...
