Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

MODERATORS
I think the writer have the same opinion considering the way they use “Reagan’s CEQA”
high-density units
If I'm understanding the article correctly, this all just comes down to Huntington Beach trying to protect existing housing zoning, where the state is trying to get zoning changed to build a lot of more units in the same area; high-density.
You say "just... trying to protect existing housing zoning" as if it isn't an absolutely catastrophic, economically ruinous, and socially unjust clusterfuck.

There's no commentary, or opinion, or politics, in my comment.
Just stating my understanding of the literal article.
That's not true. "Protect" is loaded language.
That’s not true. “Protect” is loaded language.
How so?
And what word would you use instead that had the same meaning?
Perhaps you're oversensitive to the usage of that word?
'Protect' can imply it's a victim of an unjust action. 'Maintain' may perhaps be a more neutral term.
‘Protect’ can imply it’s a victim of an unjust action.
Not in the context of how I used it. Context matters.
‘Maintain’ may perhaps be a more neutral term.
The article describes a conflict between the city and the state, so 'maintain' would not be a proper word, 'protect' would be. The state was trying to take something away from the city.
