Will Huntington Beach concede defeat in state housing feud?

Huntington Beach faces a state mandate to plan for 13,000 new homes, but the city argues it must plan for 40,000 units to meet affordability requirements. A court ordered compliance or $50,000 monthly fines, prompting the city to revise its plan and seek resident feedback. The Orange County Grand Jury criticized the state’s housing policies, and the City Council will vote on the revised plan.
