The affluent California city La Cañada Flintridge must approve a housing project against its zoning regulations, after a recent Los Angeles Superior Court ruling—backed by the state’s attorney general, governor, and housing department—found the city in violation of state housing law.
“La Cañada Flintridge is the latest community that has failed in their effort to override state housing laws. Today’s favorable ruling should serve as a warning to other NIMBY jurisdictions that the state will hold every community accountable in planning for their fair share of housing,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a March 5 press release.
