Housing Affordability & Property Rights
-
Abolish Property Taxes
Position: Eliminate property taxes to restore true ownership rights.
Description: Property taxes allow the state to exert perpetual control over landowners, undermining the principle of full private ownership. Abolishing these taxes ensures that once a person has purchased land or a home, they retain full, untaxed ownership. Essential services will be funded through alternative revenue models, prioritizing voluntary transactions and usage-based fees. Property should not be leased from the government—it should be owned outright. -
Abolish Zoning
Position: Abolish all zoning laws statewide—including residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, and mixed-use classifications.
Description: All government land-use classifications will be repealed. Property owners will be allowed to use land for any peaceful purpose, including housing, business, industry, or farming, without zoning restrictions or approval from local authorities. No local or state entity shall enforce restrictions on what may be built or how land is used based on prior land-use designations. -
Abolish Building Permits
Position: Eliminate permit requirements for all private construction and modification of structures on privately owned land.
Description: All state and local construction permitting mandates shall be repealed. Property owners may build, modify, or occupy structures—residential, commercial, agricultural, or industrial—without pre-approval.The California Building Standards Code shall remain publicly available as a non-binding safety reference. It will serve as the default benchmark for assessing gross negligence in both civil and criminal cases. Any deviation from its standards is not unlawful by itself, but may be used as evidence if direct harm occurs.
-
Abolish Rent Control
Position: Repeal statewide and local rent control laws that distort markets and reduce housing quality.
Description: Rent control creates artificial scarcity, discourages development, and causes long-term disrepair of rental housing. California will repeal all forms of rent control and allow supply to meet demand. -
Repeal CEQA
Position: Fully repeal the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Description: CEQA no longer protects the environment—it empowers bureaucrats and special interests to obstruct housing, infrastructure, and economic development. Its repeal will eliminate litigation traps, delays, and regulatory abuse. Environmental protection should be enforced through direct pollution and safety standards—not paperwork and lawsuits.
