Newsom is proposing waiving CEQA for rebuilding destroyed homes in the wildfire zone, but only for low-density structures, which makes me want to scream until my throat bleeds. California infallibly manages to zero in on the worst possible solution; waive CEQA either entirely or not at all, and let the Palisades homeowners wait for their decade of environmental review like the rest of us have to.

I think CEQA only applies if you aren't building a similarly sized/footprinted structure, which seems reasonable enough. So I don't see why it would need to be explicitly waived, except to give people with the means to to rebuild bigger/etc.
