“How will California’s AB 3156 make the state more resilient to wildfires?”

California’s housing crisis is exacerbating its vulnerability to wildfires. By pushing people, particularly those from lower-income backgrounds, away from the coast and into the wildland-urban interface, its two crises are coming together. To solve this, more affordable housing can be built by the coastline. AB 3156 by California Assemblymember Robert Rivas will allow for streamlining of housing approval by the California Coastal Commission, allowing for this housing supply to increase and host people away from wildfire territory. This is How California’s AB 3156 Will Increase Wildfire Resilience.
