Literally none of what you said is true.
1 is required only for developers seeking zoning changes. Low-income housing allowances aren't required if a development falls within existing site zoning, which is something that LA developers have used to great effect.
2) This is completely false, anti-union FUD.
3) This wasn't true before CA law was changed to simplify the approval process. You only need 1 comprehensive environmental impact study, and if you're close enough to another planned development (generally within 1 block), you can incorporate parts of their EIS into your own.
4) Views are not protected in CA...Appeasement not required.
5) Both cynical, false, and also misunderstands where the political class gets its wealth from (lobbying, not real estate).
