California veterans advocate Marion Moses says the state’s housing approval process is leaving veterans waiting years for affordable homes. She points to Liberty Lane, an 80-unit development for veterans that took nine years to open and saw costs rise from $30 million to $51 million. Moses argues that Proposition 45 would speed up approvals and limit costly legal delays while preserving environmental review and public input. She urges Santa Cruz County voters to support the measure so veterans can find housing sooner and taxpayers aren’t left footing the bill for years of delays.
