Swalwell's 90-Day Housing Permit Deadline: Will It Speed Up Building in CA?

West Coast Land Use and Environment attorney Daniel Golub was quoted in The Sacramento Bee on California gubernatorial candidate Eric Swalwell's proposal to impose a 90-day deadline on state agencies to act on housing permits. Professionals interviewed by the publication evaluated whether the plan would accelerate housing production, noting that some agencies already face similar timelines and that local governments still play the larger role in project approvals. Mr. Golub welcomed the proposal as a positive step toward addressing delays in the housing approval process.

"It's excellent to see anybody running for governor who wants to take a crack at that problem," he said.
