I hate how #ceqa **gets abused being used as a tool to block housing **especially when it comes to college towns like #Berkeley which **REALLY **need #housing for students and residents.

CEQA needs to be 100% reformed so it doesn't block good projects like housing, #transit, #highspeedrail, #mobility projects, etc and makes harmful projects such as #highway expansions entirely unfeasible.
