Increasing Vocabulary

RECEIVED Wed., April 8, 2015

Dear Editor,
    Some jurisdictions in California have quit issuing building permits. They justify this by declaring that it makes no sense to construct more homes if there is no water for them. Your April 3 story on the building boom in Hays County [“Hays County Water War,” News] and the resulting scramble for water leads to the conclusion that authorities in Hays County have never heard of the words “limits” or “sustainability.”
