A lawsuit filed by an association of Orange County cities alleges California’s housing mandate violated the state local planning laws.

The Orange County Council of Governments (OCCOG) filed the lawsuit June 21 against the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) regarding the 1.34 million home mandate in Southern California; about 183,000 of those units are in Orange County.
