California Reduces Environmental Law to Address Housing Crisis

California is trying to fix its housing problem!

The state used to have a rule called CEQA that made it hard to build new houses because it protected the environment.

Now, they've changed CEQA to make it easier to build homes quickly.

Some people worried it might hurt nature.

The governor said they needed to fix the housing shortage.

The law was originally created to protect nature from pollution and too much building.

It was a hard decision but they decided that building houses for people was the most important thing.
