Feel free to find data for San Diego specifically. This weird myth that foreign buyers are influencing prices has been disproven by research in both Australia and Canada, I doubt it’s different here. Prices are bad because there’s undersupply and domestic investment groups capitalizing on that.

The trouble here is that one year's heavy precipitation does not a drought end make. You need consistent rain that doesn't overwhelm the dams or cause regular releases which largely go to waste (at least for most human use), and deep, consistent snowpack, which is built up over many years, not a single event.

If it returned to drought this year, that water would still run out very quickly.

People need to not go back to their wasteful habits, we need to get farms out of the arid climate, let aquifers refill, and kill off the golf courses and wasteful lawns.
