Something that's talked about a lot, which is, by the way, this really does answer your question, so just.
I'm getting there.
Something called CEQA, the C-E-Q-A, the California Environmental Quality Act, passed in 1970.
And it was all about, when it started out, regulating pollution from big factories and so on.
But over the years, it's basically turned into a nightmare that blocks anything and holds up everything.
And one of the main problems with CEQA, this law, is that they've given this what they call a private right of action.
It means that anyone can file a lawsuit to enforce this environmental law.
Normally with stuff like that, it's the DA or the attorney general.
You've got this private right of action.
Anyone can file a lawsuit.
70% of CEQA lawsuits are used to block housing.
Most of those are filed by unions in order to negotiate with developers what they call project labor agreements, where you have union workers only or what they call prevailing wage, which is two or three times higher than market rate wages, et cetera.
So the second component of this ballot initiative was ending this private right of action.
So at a stroke, you stop all these nuisance lawsuits that block housing.
Didn't raise the money to get it on the ballot.
Then I started engaging with Sacramento.
I thought, maybe we can make it happen through the regular political process.
And that's when I ran into the answer to your question, who runs California?
I started having meetings with the legislators.
One particular person, they said, you've got to talk to this person.
