California Governor Gavin Newsom's executive order to streamline rebuilding after recent fires prompts a critical examination of current permitting regulations. Writer Marc J. Dunkelman argues that excessive reviews delay vital infrastructure projects, exacerbated by progressives' cultural aversion to centralized power. His insights, as discussed in his upcoming book, reveal a tension between enforcing regulations and fostering necessary developments. Dunkelman believes these regulatory hurdles can prevent beneficial initiatives, yet he maintains a hopeful stance that reform within progressivism can restore efficiency in governance and project implementation.
Dunkelman's perspective highlights the paradox in progressivism, suggesting that the cultural aversion to centralized power has stifled governmental capacity to tackle major issues effectively.
The fast-tracking of rebuilding efforts after California's fires brings to light questions about the necessity of extensive regulations that govern infrastructure projects.
