Expansion of L. A. - Destruction of Owens River & Valley

JESUS CHRIST IS KING OF WORLD!

LALA Land shouldn't be where it is. Remove it, Phoenix, Las Vegas, and we are all a lot happier. I know, make the cities close to the water. But then how would you confiscate huge tracts of land? Remember, the Mormon Hierarchy will lie, burn, steal and kill just as cruelly as these monsters.

Hey, I had to write a short essay on this documentary, but only had my scant notes to rely on, since one of my classmates beat me to the library. Anyways, thanks a ton for posting this, it's been a huge help!!!

Me and my friends did a historical performance this year on this subject and made it to the National Finals in Washington, D.C. This subject is very crucial to the understanding of how progress ultimately devastated an agricultural community, just to sustain a booming city. Very interesting!

I am glad my great-grandfather told Mulholland to go pound sand and he wouldn't sell our water to LA. We still own our water rights today and I control them for our family. In response to Taranau's comments, LA has given nothing to the Owens Valley, no water, no money, just the results of the greed of the big city and destruction of our valley.

LA is unsustainable thanks to Mulholland and continued sprawl policies. I cant wait for a prolonged drought that wakes people up. And I will physically block construction of a Peripheral Canal on the Sacramento/San Joaquin Delta.

@frontosa6 lol duh LA was unsustainable before mulholland to.

And still no lessons learned from historically disasterous plans. Iraqis are suffering because of similar greed of the only ones that will profit tremendously from current disasterous plan.

L.A. has recently started giving water back to the Owen's Valley.S.F. needs to start giving Hetch-Hetchy back to Yosemite.

[cannedkitty]

Restoring Hetch-Hetchy is nowhere near as easy, but I hope to see it done in my lifetime.

[Taranau]

What makes restoring Hetch-Hetchy more difficult,is; San Francisco's attitude that they "have the God given Right to the water in the dam at Hetch-Hetchy". LA has admitted that their water rights were ones got by political wheeling and dealing. SF is in denial about how they got O'Shaunessy Dam built...I too hope to walk the valley floor in Hetch-Hetchy,even if I have to live to be very old to do so...

[antonsencolter]

LA admitted nothing. It was only after YEARS of lawsuits which they lost that water is being replaced.

Another example of the European invasion on this country.
