Shouldn't it be more important to reduce the amount of water usage to as little as possible? Southern California is all dessert and is constantly in a draught.

Residential water use (especially in cities) is a very small portion. Entire cities use less water than some farms. The problem with water in Southern California is Imperial Valley.

The last photo in the article has some greens growing right next to the street. What do you all think of that? Any worries about pollution?

I wonder this in my own little yard, too!

Urban gardening in the news: wow so healthy so easy!
Urban gardening in reality: the squirrels ate all the fruits, the rats bit the buds off of everything, I just wasted so much water and money to increase the vermin population and have no food to show for it.

Man... I can't even have a little garden on my apartment porch because my unit is in such a position that it never gets any direct sunlight. Even the plants the apartment itself planted for the landscaping just withers and dies from not having any direct sun and they never plant anything that could thrive in the shade.

Good luck if you live in an HOA
If you chose to live in an HOA you deserve everything you get. They could've died out but people keep buying into them.
While this is true for boomers and genx as they saw this life style as a status symbol so they fed the beast... majority of modern housing stock has HoA attache to it, so unless you are looking for mass homlessness. HoA is the herpes we inherited. Now, since we at least can agree it is a cancer, these corruption rackets need to be either 1) reformed, where they are required; or 2) otherwise outright dismantled.
This is another generation fight though... and even some younger clowns will larp HoA because "it keep me property price hi, I am an owner all i care about is asset appreciation"
sure thing buddy, living in a house with rapidly increasing tax assessment surely makes you part of the owner class 🤡
