When red tape makes homeownership unattainable, communities unravel.
PROBLEM
- California faces a massive housing shortage, driving prices beyond reach for families, workers, and first-time buyers.
- Too many rules and environmental approval steps, plus layers of fees and mandates, make housing harder and more expensive to build.
- Law enforcement reports that criminal groups use real estate purchases to launder money, pushing prices higher by outbidding regular buyers.
- As homeownership slips out of reach, communities lose stability and people are forced to leave.
SOLUTION
- Remove bureaucratic red tape that blocks or delays new housing construction.
- Reform environmental and permitting processes so they protect nature without being weaponized to stop building.
- Eliminate excessive and improper fees that drive up the cost of housing.
- Stop government from forcing homeowners and builders to give up land or pay unrelated fees just to get approval.
- Eliminate property taxes so homeownership is attainable for more Californians.
