Government runs on acronyms. In California, few inspire such strong reactions as CEQA. Those four letters stand for the California Environmental Quality Act. It’s a state law that’s been around since 1970.

LOS ANGELES - Before the sun rose Tuesday, Benito Flores fortified the front door of his one-bedroom duplex on a narrow street in El Sereno. Flores, a 70-year-old retired welder, had illegally seized a home five years ago after its owner, the California Department of Transportation, had left it vacant. He'd been allowed to stay for a few months, then was directed to this nearby home owned by the agency, but now it was time to go. Copyright 2025 Tribune Content Agency.
