California Targets Cities Over Housing Plans | Sacramento News

California’s Attorney General is suing five cities—including Turlock, Costa Mesa, and Ridgecrest—for failing to comply with state housing laws, which require them to plan for millions of new homes to tackle the ongoing crisis. While cities like Turlock claim they’re making progress and are close to finalizing rezoning rules, the state argues their latest plans still fall short. With nearly 2.5 million homes needed statewide, delays by local governments are hitting residents hardest—especially those seeking affordable housing. The Attorney General’s legal action underscores a growing tension between local autonomy and state enforcement in the fight for housing equity.
