Gavin Newsom’s housing lawsuit put 47 California cities on notice. Is yours on the list?

1. In his State of the State Address on Tuesday, Newsom acknowledged “other factors beyond city planning that have limited our ability to provide housing.” While he doesn’t intend to sue all of the cities for their failures to meet their housing obligations, he vowed to hold them all accountable.
2. Encinitas of San Diego County is one of 47 California cities under scrutiny by the Newsom administration for not complying with a state law that requires them to plan for the construction of affordable housing.
3. For years, California cities have failed to build affordable housing units, with the vast majority not hitting production targets outlined in their city plans.
4. A local voter-approved initiative from 2013 makes planning for affordable homes nearly impossible, preventing the wealthy city of 60,000 from complying with a state law that requires local governments to build more housing.
