Seems a good thing to do. But I have never lived there so what do I know about it? I have a feeling (based on the number of products I've purchased that come with warnings specific to CA) that the state probably went overboard with its restrictions.
Matt Lewis, spokesman for California YIMBY, which supports the new legislation, said a law that had initially been intended to prevent projects like new freeways from plowing through neighborhoods had over the years been “Frankensteined” into a tool to block housing development. And the act, ultimately, has harmed the environment by limiting denser housing, which reduces pollution, he said.
Isn't ironic that the original legislation was signed into law by a Republican governor, and it's being rolled back by a Democratic governor.
