The Huntington Beach City Council on Monday night decided not to move forward with legal action challenging its state-mandated Regional Housing Needs Assessment requirements for the next cycle, which runs through October 2029.
Huntington Beach is required to zone for 13,386 residential units, according to the Southern California Assn. of Governments, during the upcoming sixth cycle of the housing element that starts this October. That number includes nearly 6,000 units deemed to be either very low income or low income.

Foley is only candidate focused on COVID and climate
There were two things that stood out as I reviewed the qualifications of each candidate in Daily Pilot reporter Sara Cardine’s look at “5 candidates for O.C. Supervisor blaze campaign trails before special election.” The first is how serious the candidate is about protecting citizens from COVID-19 and the second is, who is doing anything about climate change? The only candidate that is doing both is Katrina Foley.
On COVID-19, Foley has overseen a mask-wearing rule in Costa Mesa, with those not wearing masks punishable by fines. The only other city in Orange County that has a similar rule is Irvine. Just think how many lives would have been saved if all the other cities had the courage to follow science to protect its citizens.
