As a California resident I really don't like the idea of a legal framework that encourages more citizen initiatives. They would be used to try to prevent building more housing.

Citizen initiatives are the only thing that can cut across partisan lines and stop politics from turning into tribal warfare.
Maybe fix the system so there are not just two parties & bad parties fail to be voted in?
Then you need combinatorial parties to support every possible political combination. Rather just have people vote on the policies themselves.
