Green Building Plan Not Green Enough

Even though a statewide green building ordinance would mandate that developers adhere to environmentally-friendly practices, critics say the rules aren't strict enough, reports the Los Angeles Times. Among other things, the standards aren't as strict as green building standards in Los Angeles, while critics say the two-tier labeling system "would be open to conflicting interpretations and be unenforceable by local building inspectors," according to some experts.
