Get rid of the 'environmental factors' for which impacts are analyzed other than "biological resources", "air quality", "water quality", and "hazardous materials", and add in an explicit "GHG emissions" category

Require assessment of future environmental impacts on the project and create a Regional Climate Impacts Assessment from which project assessments can tier. (1/)
-
Make most TOD projects in non-vulnerable areas by-right (e.g. SB 50) so that CEQA isn't triggered at the project level (2/)

Even if you only consider bio/air/water, localism can block. Maybe all adjacent municipalities get as many votes as the one running the CEQA. Adjacent areas, if unanimous, can say "yes, forest hills, you do get that BMR senior housing".
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

CEQA does require consideration of climate change related impacts. I recently asked a consultant to hire a forester to consider potential climate change/fire impacts of a project & studying everything from GHG to sea level rise has been standard for years.

And we are now adding higher density alternatives to almost all CEQA documents....

We know that a person's GhG is determined not so much by how they live but where they live. There should be a statutory exemption to all multi family residential within half a mile of transit, that has minimal or zero parking. We *know* this will reduce carbon, we need to act.

41% of GHGs in CA come from cars sitting in traffic. That number has been static for a decade while we have made great progress elsewhere. NIMBYism literally kills polar bears.pic.twitter.com/k7Q0zdsVwh

Get rid of confidential appeals. You have to prove you’re a credentialed environmentalist and not a NIMBY to oppose a project.

What about a ‘measure of impact score’ you can’t block an affordable or homeless housing bc shadows over tomato garden bc, well theres people dying on our streets. A homeless life gets a score of 1,000,000,000 and a tomato gets a score of 1.
