Ah Tums, I see that you are familiar with some of our onerous regulations. The CARB regulations wreak havoc with construction industry.

Jeez and don't get me started on the endagered species laws in CA. One of my construction clients began a project that happen to fall with the Quino Checkerspot Butterfly habitat zone. If this butterfly is actually found on the property then for ever one acre of "Quino Habitat" impacted then four acres of property must be conserved as a mitigation requirement. As of this writing there are biologists checking every bush and shrub on the property to determine if there are any of these endangered butterflies there - and no I'm not kidding.

Makes you wonder how any construction gets done in California
