Let's get CEQA working as intended-- preserving what works & reforming the parts that are too often weaponized to block bus lanes, climate smart housing, & green energy projects. Thank you @scottwiener.bsky.social for your leadership and excited for @prosperityca.bsky.social to co-sponsoring SB607.
I introduced CEQA legislation (SB 607) to avoid CEQA being used to stop new housing & make other smart changes to aspects of CEQA that turn it into a process nightmare that doesn’t always help the environment.
SB 607 will help create abundance of the things that make life better & more affordable:🧵
