There’s been a lot of attention to the CEQA amendments by the legislature yesterday, with some framing it as a repeal or rollback of CEQA. The legislation is a big deal, but it is far from a repeal of CEQA, and the legislature will likely make more changes going forward. 1/44

Future generations may look back on today's decision in the UC Berkeley "social noise is pollution?!" case as the turning point between "Old CEQA" and "New CEQA."

The California Department of Housing and Community Development report, released Wednesday morning, concluded that delays are so baked into the city’s approval process that one person can stall or kill projects that should be allowed under state law.
