Opinion: Yes on Prop 45 to own your piece of the California dream

In California, we talk a lot about affordable housing. I’d much prefer we build affordable housing rather than talk about it. Proposition 45, the Building and Affordable California Act, would make it easier to do just that. It would allow us to build more of the homes that Californians need, including single-family homes in the suburbs as well as condos, townhomes and apartments in our cities.

Shadows no longer delay developments in San Francisco

(The Center Square) - A new San Francisco law is dialing back building delays caused by regulations over the shadows that new buildings cast. The repeal of the environmental protections rule is the latest in a string of development-friendly Bay Area moves during the administration of Mayor Daniel Lurie, who calls himself a centrist Democrat. Lurie signed the SHADE Act on Friday. “For decades, San Francisco has made it easier to block housing than to build it,” Lurie said. “Now we are using every tool available to build more housing more quickly, and this is just the latest example.” The Slashing Housing Appeals and Delays Everywhere, or SHADE, Act was passed during an 8-1 vote by the 11-person San Francisco Board of Supervisors, with Supervisor Connie Chan the sole dissenter. The board governs the combined county and city of San Francisco.

In addition to removing the shadow study, the law shortens the appeal window for CEQA rulings from 30 to 15 days. “San Francisco is done letting red tape cast a shadow
