A good reform would accelerate democratically planned affordable housing, transit, and green infrastructure, while preserving workers' and affected communities' power over pollution and development. Prop 45 instead applies broad deregulation across many kinds of private and public projects, concentrating this power in the hands of developers themselves. There’s a reason for this. This reform was written by and for some of the most rapacious capitalists in the state.
This legislation — like 41 and 42 — was a billionaire-backed Trojan horse.
