David Ross, an advocate for the homeless, and former case manager for Father Joe, is known to San Diego’s homeless as “The Waterman” because he provides them with drinking water, as well as tents and other supplies. Father Joe does not approve of the Waterman’s activities, since they facilitate homelessness, thereby preventing people from addressing chronic problems and getting off the streets. http://www.voiceofsandiego.org/articles/2009/07/29/public_safety/pavement/917tentcity072909.txt

Carlsbad’s proposed desal. plant proposes to provide water less affordably and has adverse environmental consequences relative to traditional sources, yet it connects San Diego to a virtually unlimited water supply. What are your thoughts?
