More housing on the California coast? Changes at this powerful agency signal a pro-building shift

this is a big deal for cali 🤯 I'm all for finding ways to make affordable housing happen, but we gotta think about the long game here. if we just keep building without considering the environmental impact, it's gonna come back to haunt us. I'm glad governor newsom has some new blood on the commission, maybe they can find a better balance between housing and conservation 🌳💚
 
I'm not sure if it's a good thing or bad... I mean, on one hand, it might help get some more affordable housing built up there 🤔. But at the same time, it feels like they're just gonna build more houses and let the developers make all the profits without thinking about how that affects the environment 🌳. And what's with the new commissioners? Jaime Lee sounds kinda shady to me, you know? 🤑 I'm just worried that this is all gonna lead to more gentrification and people getting priced out of their own neighborhoods 😬. Still, it'll be interesting to see how this plays out...
 
I'm thinking, they're trying to build more homes near the beach, but what about preserving nature 🌴? I mean, don't get me wrong, affordable housing is a big deal, but if it means sacrificing some green spaces, do we really want that? 🤔 It's like my grandkids say, "You can't put a price on beauty" 💚. Still, I guess it's worth keeping an eye on how this new rule plays out. Maybe it'll be a win-win for both housing and the environment 🌈?
 
lol what's next? they're gonna let developers just build wherever they want and forget about coastal protection? 🤦‍♂️ i get that ca needs more homes but can't we find a balance between growth and saving our beaches and parks? 💚 maybe this new reg change is a good start but we gotta keep an eye on how it plays out, especially with those new commissioners 🤔
 
🤔 I think this is a double-edged sword situation. On one hand, making it easier to build affordable housing in coastal areas could really help alleviate some of the pressure on inner-city neighborhoods. We all know how tight those places are already 😩. And if we can get more people settled near the coast, that might reduce the strain on schools and services elsewhere.

On the other hand, I'm a bit worried about what this means for public access and conservation. As someone who's spent time exploring coastal trails and watching the tide, it feels like we're already losing some of those natural areas to development 🌊. If we start allowing more buildings in sensitive ecosystems without doing thorough environmental impact assessments... I don't know, that just seems like a recipe for disaster.

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out over time and if the commission can find a balance between housing needs and protecting our coastlines 💡
