Building more homes near transit, and in urban infill cities is a far cry from building on coast and wetlands. I am begging journalist to understand the building more housing or housing is best suited SAVES nature from sprawling development.
Not loving @nytimes's "housing trumps the environment" gloss on today's generational reforms of CEQA. These reforms most certainly are not an invitation to pave over paradise. 1/9
