The San Francisco Chronicle: “California court rules lawmakers can override local housing limits”

Last week, the 2nd District Court of Appeal in Los Angeles upheld legislation that allows city and county governments to authorize housing developments with up to 10 units in some urban areas, including around transit hubs. This comes after Redondo Beach and the AIDS Healthcare Foundation initiated a lawsuit citing concerns over local initiatives and a lack of low-cost housing provisions, respectively. With this decision, lawmakers can override approved limits on housing density. — The San Francisco Chronicle
