Californians may reform CEQA to boost housing

California faces a severe housing shortage, which critics attribute largely to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The law's lengthy review process and frequent lawsuits, often driven by unions, environmental groups, and local opposition, delay and block housing, infrastructure, and renewable energy projects. A proposed ballot measure, Proposition 45, aims to streamline CEQA by imposing deadlines on environmental reviews, but opponents argue it threatens environmental protections and community input. The outcome of the November vote could significantly impact the state's ability to build needed housing and infrastructure.
