California's Prop 45 Debate Over Environmental Review Limits
Original: Two Takes: Should California pass Prop 45 to limit CEQA reviews for ‘essential’ projects?
Californians are weighing Proposition 45, a ballot measure that would limit CEQA environmental reviews for projects the state deems essential. Supporters argue the change would speed up housing and infrastructure construction that currently faces years of litigation delays. Critics counter that it would strip communities of their main legal tool to challenge projects that harm the environment. The debate frames a familiar California conflict between building faster and protecting environmental safeguards.
Why now: It is on the statewide ballot, forcing voters to decide between accelerated construction and environmental review protections.
