EHL’s voice was heard in debates over the future of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
EHL’s executive director participated in a WORLD Radio podcast (“The California housing crunch,” July 17, 2025) as well as contributed to an
opinion piece (“New Damaging State Law Erases Decades of Community Environmental Protections,”
The Planning Report, Sept. 5, 2025)
The podcast focused on legislative efforts to weaken CEQA and brought in various commenters. The benefits of CEQA were noted by EHL.
SILVER: CEQA can produce better outcomes for both the environment and for housing. It's not anti-housing. CEQA is better planning.
