Huntington Beach Mayor Tony Strickland accused California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta of 'singling out' the city over affordable housing mandates.
Seen with by Councilman Casey McKeon and City Attorney Michael Gates, Huntington Beach Mayor Tony Strickland has been critical of California State Attorney General Rob Bonta's litigation if the city refuses state housing mandates.
But a federal lawsuit filed by City Attorney Michael Gates argues that the state is violating Huntington Beach's 1st and 14th Amendment rights in unconstitutionally wielding preemptive power over charter-city rights to zone property, the Los Angeles Times' Daily Pilot reported.
"California is in the midst of a housing crisis, and time and time again, Huntington Beach has demonstrated they are part of the problem by defiantly refusing every opportunity to provide essential housing for its own residents," Bonta said in a statement Monday. "Every city and county needs to do their part to bring down the high housing and rent costs that are impacting families across this state.
