We are pleased to see that the latest budget language includes a clean CEQA exemption for market rate and mixed-income infill housing up to 85’ tall almost everywhere in the state; and we urge the legislature to pass it.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

We're so close to fixing key drivers of California's housing crisis:
✅️ SB 79 would legalize apartments near transit.
✅️ AB 130 would end frivolous litigation against infill.
✅️ AB 253 + AB 1308 would prevent permitting/inspection delays.
➡️ Here's how you can help.

"Like all laws, CEQA derives its social license from its good-faith application. But when a bedrock environmental law is used to cause measurable environmental harm—for example, by displacing housing developments to agricultural and open lands—that undermines political support for the law."

got so annoyed at seeing idiots on tiktok and youtube argue about 20th century american party politics that i made a nearly 30 minute video trying to sketch out the history in a nuanced way. the conceit of this video, however, is that it's all from the dome! no notes, just vibes.
