Huntington Beach City Attorney Michael Gates recently suggested that the city should consider suing two government agencies over upcoming state-imposed housing mandates, sparking a debate in city council about whether litigation or legislation is a better approach to reducing its allocation.
Gates suggested that the city consider suing the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) over the affordable housing quotas during a closed session of the city council earlier this month.
