I wonder though, if the ballot initiative to repeal and replace it came up, would it stand a snowball’s chance in hell? Prop 13 gets put to the chopping block every few years and seems to always come out unscathed. Wouldn’t the same folks vote to maintain CEQA?

CEQA could be done legislatively. I think that the recent UC Berkeley outrages have created plenty of support for a fix, in the legislature, where discussion is far less ideological and far more pragmatic than during ballot measures. Which isn't to say it's pragmatic and not ideological, it's just far better than what goes on for ballot measures with millions to billions spent on PR campaigns.
