Attorney General Rob Bonta said Thursday he was suing the city because it is not allowing new duplexes or accessory dwelling units.
California on Thursday sued one of its picturesque coastal cities and accused it of refusing to build more affordable housing, an issue Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom called the “original sin” of the state's housing shortage.
Both approaches are a key part of state lawmakers' strategy to address the state's housing shortage, which has sent rents and home values soaring while increasing the number of people on the streets. California is home to nearly a third of the nation's homeless population, according to federal data. Much of the city has a largely suburban feel with residential neighborhoods of single-family homes flanked by busy main roads linked with strip malls and office buildings.
