Opinion: CEQA needs to die so California can thrive
California needs more homes, and the proposed Tejon Ranch development would deliver new housing for an estimated 57,000 Californians. But after 20 years, builders haven’t nailed even one stick to another – for reasons that reveal almost everything that’s wrong with California.
In a recent disclosure to investors, Tejon Ranch Company warned that it may take another 25 years before any homes are built. Since then, CEQA has morphed into a beast that would be unrecognizable to its original proponents. Swollen beyond comprehension by decades of “clarifying” legislation, amendments, court precedents, and agency interpretations, CEQA has become the bottleneck that chokes and kills the good more than the bad, making California the worst place outside of a warzone for anyone to ever attempt to build anything.
There were exceptions among the grifters. One of the rare, genuine victims to testify was Dan Dunmoyer, representing the California Building Industry Association. Because his industry hasn’t navigated a profitable workaround that transmutes litigious, bureaucratic CEQA-generated gridlock into bountiful grift, Dunmoyer can tell you the true cost of CEQA.
