in Northern California... it's been a "thing" for quite a while but ramped up exponentially past a few years.

Battling with Southern Californians over water conversation and all of the ancillary policy issues associated with it.. But hey, we didn't live in fantasy land on the idea.

But this past year, chatter on my local Nextdoor discussion boards grew into something more than just chatter.
