LOS ANGELES—City officials are pushing to expand affordable housing projects amid a homelessness crisis gripping the state’s neighborhoods and coastal towns, but some of them are being countered with lawsuits and outcry from residents who say affordable housing will only attract more homeless.
A handful of Venice Beach residents called into a special Los Angeles City Council meeting on Feb. 2 in opposition to a massive affordable housing unit project that is back up for a vote after a filing mishap, despite it being approved in December.
