California does environmental review for housing twice: first when a city is updating its planning and zoning to decide what you can build, and again when someone proposes a project—even if it follows the rules. This blocks housing, slows building, and increases costs. We should just do it once!
CA's prohousing caucus has thrown down gauntlet: No more CEQA, period, for any housing project on an infill site (up to 20 acres!) that complies with applicable general plan & zoning standards.

With higher ed under attack at the federal level, it’s more important than ever to make California colleges and universities affordable. The only way to get there is to end the student housing shortage.

If we're handing out CEQA and Coastal Act exemptions for homebuilding in the event of an emergency, maybe we should consider that virtually all of California is in a state of perpetual housing emergency.

Newer housing is so scarce that it's a luxury, therefore we need to ban all new housing construction because developers only build luxury housing
America's housing stock is the oldest it's ever been and just keeps getting older. We don't have enough homes in this country and too much of what we have is dated and decaying.

The California version of climate change denialism:
- Make it hard to build housing in climate-safe cities where people drive less.
- Make it easy to build car-dependent sprawl in exurban wildfire country.
- Forbid home insurance companies from charging enough to cover the risks to those homes.

Blue state NIMBYism is a national political crisis.
According to the Brennan Center, on current trends the 2030 census will lead to a shift of 12 Electoral Votes from states won by Harris to states won by Trump.
That means Dems would have to add at least four of PA, MI, WI, NC, GA or AZ to get to 270. NV might be needed as well.
