## Resource

Huntington Beach is locked in a high-stakes housing battle with the state, facing potential fines of up to $50,000 per month after failing to deliver enforceable zoning changes needed for 13,000 new homes by 2030—despite updating their plan in June. The state argues the city’s housing element remains a “paper promise,” and with a court date looming on October 2nd, the city must prove it’s serious—or brace for steep financial penalties.
