In Ch. 1 of #Abundance by Ezra Klein, he blames liberal policies for our current housing shortage. In 1972 after a creative lawsuit that applied the CA Environmental Quality Act of 1970, all building, not just state building, had to conform to CEQA, resulting in slower and less residential construction.

“But CEQA reform is necessary in order to solve the housing crisis.”

I'm glad that there are CA Democrats finally willing to take the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) head on. CEQA has been so weaponized and badly abused by numerous special interest groups that it needs to be massively reformed. Nipping around the edges isn't going to cut it. I'd even go so far that CEQA should be gutted.

A California environmental law makes it ‘too damn hard’ to build. But do Democrats have the will to reform it?

The law is a favorite tool among the trade unions, which threaten developers with it to extract concessions. Any CEQA reform is likely to require the unions’ stamp of approval.
