New California bill that would cut down bureaucratic red tape qualifies for November ballot

California voters will get a chance this November to weigh in on a controversial ballot measure that backers say could slash years of red tape and fast-track desperately needed housing construction across the state. The Building an Affordable California Act — known as Affordable CA — officially qualified for the statewide ballot after gathering the necessary signatures required. Supporters say the measure would take a sledgehammer to California’s notoriously slow permitting process, which they argue has fueled the state’s housing shortage and stalled major infrastructure projects.
