| Huntington Beach leaders say they'll challenge housing mandates |
| 2023-02-21 |
| The brave people of one California city are fighting with all they have against Newsom's plan to turn coastal California into a socialist paradise of crowded high rise tenements with no thought whatsoever to the wishes of the people who live there or the infrastructure. It's gonna look like the Bronx if Newsom has his way. And, of course, none of poor, public school educated, tenement dwellers will know what it's like to own private property. They'll be good [ICRegister] Huntington Beach officials say they are taking a stand for local control as they square off against state leaders in a dispute over housing goals for the coastal town. On Tuesday, Feb. 14, Mayor Tony Strickland, Councilman Casey McKeon and City Attorney Micheal Gates told a crowd of residents and reporters gathered at City Hall they will contest state mandates requiring city leaders to plan for 13,000 more housing units over the next several years — it’s the city’s allocation in state housing plans to meet future needs. They also said they are on board with a proposed law before the Planning Commission this week that would to exempt Huntington Beach from the so-called builder’s remedy provision of the state’s Housing Accountability Act. |

| #5 ^ Yep. CA is toast. All folks with a functioning brainstem are getting out, which only leaves the true believers and beholden illegals. The only hope for CA involves total devastation as a prereq. |

| #4 "#3 Huntington Beach is in Orange County which is one of the few remaining California coastal counties where people still vote Republican..." Sadly - not the case by a 2:1 margin. Used to be that way but has not been this way for more than a decade. We lost. |

| #3 Huntington Beach is in Orange County which is one of the few remaining California coastal counties where people still vote Republican. Newsom is doing his damnedest to change that. A spate of state legislation in the past few years has given Newsom the power to usurp local zoning in cities like Huntington Beach and he is going at it with a vengeance especially in places like Huntington where they tend not to vote for him. Democrats pass these laws, they say, because we need more affordable housing. But it's really because people who live in dense urban environments are not too smart and tend to vote Democrat. Just like when Clinton flooded California with illegal aliens to change our demographics and our voting patterns, Newsom has come upon a new strategy to bring about massive changes in the state's population to make it more favorable for Democrats. Beware whenever any politician talks about affordable housing. The only way to make California affordable for all the people in the whole wide world who want to come live here is to turn the whole state into a slum. Newsom is determined to do just that. |
