California's Prop 45 Would Ease Environmental Review to Speed Housing
Original: Prop 45: Will California Vote to Trade Environmental Regulation for Quicker Housing Development?
California voters are weighing Proposition 45, a ballot measure that would limit environmental regulation in order to accelerate housing development across the state. Supporters argue the change is needed to cut delays and build homes faster amid California's housing shortage, while critics warn it would weaken environmental protections. KQED's coverage has put the trade-off at the center of debate as the vote approaches.
Why now: A statewide vote on weighing housing needs against environmental protections is imminent and consequential.
