Fun fact: Atherton filed a CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) lawsuit to block Caltrain electrification!

They argued that Caltrain should use cleaner diesel trains, instead of "century-old catenary electrical line technology" (what bullet trains use btw) - and thus save trees! #CEQAWorks

California keeps poking holes in CEQA. A new bill could blow a crater through it A bill by Oakland Assembly Member Buffy Wicks would exempt most infill housing from the environmental reviews required under CEQA.

#StopAB609 #CEQAWorks
Fake “Democrats” Newsom and Wicks are hooked on real estate $

Following Ezra Klein into the same abyss that ate Clinton, Biden, Harris and (soon) Schumer

Good illustration of how CEQA isn't planning. The CEQA process isn't well suited to selecting projects based on cost/benefit or regional plans, nor is it suited towards assessing the relative benefits of different alternatives. So bad projects move forward and good ones get stalled #CEQAworks
