Here are the top stories in Lakewood today:

1. Removing grass lawns won't solve the west's water problems. Never-the-less regional governments in states like California, Arizona and Nevada are racing to ban the green stuff. Experts indicate that "no level of municipal conservation... [will] make up for the water that's going to be needed to be conserved." (Fortune)
2. Metro area rents go down by $8 bucks. It may not seem like much, but it's a welcome reprieve after nearly a decade of prices going up, up, up. (FOX31)
3. Inflation hits Daddy Bruce's Thanksgiving Feed-A-Family event. Despite increases in prices, the Denver Thanksgiving will continue this year feeding those in the community. (Denverite)
4. Voters reject two of three booze ballot items. Only Proposition 125 passed, which allows grocery and convenience stores to expand their offerings into more of their stores. (9News)
