Prop 45 could speed up California building and shift power

Original: Prop 45 could speed up building in California. It would also shift who’s in charge

California's Proposition 45 would speed up the approval process for construction projects across the state, while also restructuring which officials hold authority over permitting decisions. Supporters frame it as a way to cut delays that have slowed housing and infrastructure, but critics point to the significant transfer of decision-making power it would bring. Debate is focused on whether faster building justifies the change in oversight.

Why now: Voters are weighing the ballot measure's trade-off between faster construction and reduced local control ahead of the election.
