A California Superior Court judge has mandated that the city of Huntington Beach incur escalating financial penalties for its non-compliance with state housing law. The order, stemming from a years-long legal dispute over the city’s failure to adopt a compliant housing element, imposes an initial $160,000 penalty and subsequent $50,000 monthly fines should violations persist.
