FROM Seth Siegel
To the Point
Can Israel's Water Be a Model for a Thirsty World? Drought is a fact of life in the Western United States, and water shortages are predicted in many parts of the world. Israel is an unlikely place to look for solutions. Although 60% of the State of Israel is a desert, Israel has no lack of water. In fact, there's a surplus. That's a consequence of how Israel came to be and how it can help other places survive water shortages inevitable in the future. That's the theme of Let There Be Water: Israel's Solution for a Water-Starved World . The author is Seth Siegel, who's a lawyer, activist and entrepreneur as well as a writer.

As sidewalk gardens grow on Skid Row, homeless residents lose a sidewalk In a city with tens of thousands of people living on its streets, sidewalk space can be a hot commodity. Businesses want to keep the sidewalk clear for customers, but the city’s housing crisis means that for some people, the sidewalk is home. Some property owners have reportedly used sprinklers or private security guards to make sure no one sets up camp outside their doors. And in recent months, people living on the streets have noticed a new tactic – business owners effectively occupying a portion of the sidewalk themselves.
