Huntington Beach Won’t Sue Over State Mandated Housing
Huntington Beach city council struck down a motion April 19 to file a lawsuit against its state-mandated housing allocation.
Councilmember Erik Peterson brought forward a motion to appeal Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) and initiate a lawsuit in state court. Council voted down the motion 5-2.

“It’s a simple question accept SCAG’s ruling, or fight for our locals and our local control.”
City council members are unhappy with the state-mandated housing allocation of 13,368 units to be built by 2029 and have tried different avenues to fight it.
