Streamlines approvals to build essential projects faster and make California more affordable
The Problem
California’s cost of living is out of control. Our outdated system for approving essential projects like housing, water, clean energy, roads, schools and hospitals is too slow, too bureaucratic and too costly—and it’s driving up the cost of living for all of us.
- $75,000+ added to every new home, which drives up rents and mortgages.
- Billions added in taxpayer and consumer costs for hospitals, roads and clean energy projects.
- Delayed progress on critical environmental projects to reduce pollution, prevent wildfires and cut emissions.
The Solution
Prop 45 cuts red tape and unnecessary delays so California can build the essential infrastructure we need faster, lower our cost of living and improve our quality of life.
Including:- Clean water infrastructure
- Clean Energy
- Housing
- Roads, bridges, and transit
- Hospitals and health care facilities
- Schools and educational facilities
- Wildfire prevention

Every year of delay means Californians wait longer and pay more for the essential projects our communities need most.
