Strong agree, this needs to be reevaluated. In particular, Washington State has fantastic environmental protection laws that don't get in the way of good environments improvements.

CEQA is a bad first draft of an environmental law, the definitions are bad, the logic is bad. And CEQA even protected things like level of service of traffic until recently, which greatly increased car traffic and pollution. For the era when it was passed, CEQA was probably good, and it has accomplished lots of good, but today it's causing as many problems as it seems to solve.
