Another California city has been called out by the state after affluent La Cañada Flintridge—about 15 miles north of Los Angeles—denied an 80-unit multifamily housing development earlier this year, without the authority to do so, according to officials.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta requested Dec. 12 a Los Angeles Superior Court judge “uphold California’s housing laws” and reverse the city’s denial in a lawsuit the developer filed in July against the city after its action.
