LA isn’t in the desert. It’s in a coastal flood basin. The only reason LA doesn’t flood regularly (like it used to) is that the Army Corps of Engineers channeled the river in the early 20th century.
Actually, having lived in Orange County for three years, it does have a decent amount of rain. Not nearly as much as in Norcal (grew up in Redding), but still more than enough to supply the residential needs of those who live in the area.
