The temperate aras of California? Jeesus. You are a fucking moron. The wetter part of the state? Clueless, the dry 110 degrees during three months of the year Central Valley from the grapevine to Sacramento is the bread basket of the state. It allso covers 70% of the state's area. They import a large percentage of their water from other states as well as bringing it down from Mt.Shasta and the Sierras.

Orange County, just outside of Los Angeles was the largets producer of oranges in the country until development and progress eventually was responsible for the groves being elimintated. It is also a "desert" by your ignorant standards; Dry, humid in the summer, temperate in the winter and minimal rain.

It is not an "arid" region.
