But after years of starts and stops, some saw it as little more than a pipe dream. Now though, local officials feel that vision is finally beginning to take shape. City officials have laid the groundwork for a sprawling campus on 380 acres of city-owned land in the rolling hills between East Chula Vista’s suburban outskirts and the Lower Otay Reservoir.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this wouldn’t be a typical four-year public university. Instead, it would be a multi-university campus that houses academic programs from other universities, community colleges, and even high schools across the San Diego-Tijuana region. It would also focus more narrowly on degrees that would serve major industries in the South Bay like health care and binational trade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This wasn’t always the plan. Officials had previously hoped for a Cal State or UC campus, but the financial and political hurdles were always too high. And to be clear, a physical university campus in San Diego County’s second-largest city is still years away at the earliest. However, there is a growing sense that this new vision is more realistic than previous plans. “People have tried to do this for over 30 years, and we haven’t had the type of significant steps forward that we’ve had in the last couple of years,” said State Assemblymember David Alvarez (D-Chula Vista).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One reason for the optimism is earlier this year Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill Alvarez authored that establishes a \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.kpbs.org/news/education/2025/10/16/california-will-take-a-closer-look-at-bringing-a-public-university-campus-to-chula-vista\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">\u003cu>task force\u003c/u>\u003c/a> to explore funding for a physical campus. Also, the academic infrastructure is already being built. SDSU, UCSD and CSU San Marcos have each announced plans to begin offering degrees in Chula Vista in industries that are prominent in the South Bay – like nursing, public health, business and cybersecurity. The overall goal, Alvarez said, is to give students a better chance of getting a job swiftly after graduation. “We need to offer an education that actually gets people a job,” he said. “Not just gets them a BA, a certificate or a degree, but gets them into the workforce.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ArticlePage-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/politics/huntington-beach-loses-challenge-to-california-sanctuary-law\">\u003cstrong>Huntington Beach Loses Legal Challenge Of California’s Sanctuary Law\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit from Huntington Beach challenging the state’s sanctuary law.

But after years of starts and stops, some saw it as little more than a pipe dream. Now though, local officials feel that vision is finally beginning to take shape. City officials have laid the groundwork for a sprawling campus on 380 acres of city-owned land in the rolling hills between East Chula Vista’s suburban outskirts and the Lower Otay Reservoir.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this wouldn’t be a typical four-year public university. Instead, it would be a multi-university campus that houses academic programs from other universities, community colleges, and even high schools across the San Diego-Tijuana region. It would also focus more narrowly on degrees that would serve major industries in the South Bay like health care and binational trade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This wasn’t always the plan. Officials had previously hoped for a Cal State or UC campus, but the financial and political hurdles were always too high. And to be clear, a physical university campus in San Diego County’s second-largest city is still years away at the earliest. However, there is a growing sense that this new vision is more realistic than previous plans. “People have tried to do this for over 30 years, and we haven’t had the type of significant steps forward that we’ve had in the last couple of years,” said State Assemblymember David Alvarez (D-Chula Vista).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One reason for the optimism is earlier this year Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill Alvarez authored that establishes a \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.kpbs.org/news/education/2025/10/16/california-will-take-a-closer-look-at-bringing-a-public-university-campus-to-chula-vista\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">\u003cu>task force\u003c/u>\u003c/a> to explore funding for a physical campus. Also, the academic infrastructure is already being built. SDSU, UCSD and CSU San Marcos have each announced plans to begin offering degrees in Chula Vista in industries that are prominent in the South Bay – like nursing, public health, business and cybersecurity. The overall goal, Alvarez said, is to give students a better chance of getting a job swiftly after graduation. “We need to offer an education that actually gets people a job,” he said. “Not just gets them a BA, a certificate or a degree, but gets them into the workforce.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ArticlePage-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/politics/huntington-beach-loses-challenge-to-california-sanctuary-law\">\u003cstrong>Huntington Beach Loses Legal Challenge Of California’s Sanctuary Law\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit from Huntington Beach challenging the state’s sanctuary law.

But on this balmy evening, conversation over wine and hors d’oeuvres drifted to the topic of the district’s second-largest city, just up the 405: Huntington Beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One local school board member told of a recent trip to a Huntington Beach pickleball court, where she was alarmed to find a vendor selling Make America Great Again hats. Democratic elected officials warned those gathered of the conservative policies gaining traction in Huntington Beach: flag bans, voter ID law and lawsuits over transgender identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re lucky to live in Irvine, where we don’t have the craziness,” Dave Min, the Democrat \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12009870/dave-min-scott-baugh-vie-for-competitive-orange-county-house-seat\">running for Congress in the 47th District\u003c/a>, told the crowd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Democrats and Republicans are evenly registered in the 47th District, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12008793/how-the-diploma-divide-is-shaping-a-toss-up-house-race-in-orange-county\">a stark political divide exists between its two largest cities\u003c/a>. In the 2022 election, incumbent Democrat Katie Porter carried Irvine by a margin of 63% to 37% on her way to victory over Republican Scott Baugh, a former state legislator. But in Huntington Beach, Baugh won 55% to 45%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To win the district this year, Min and Baugh will need to find a way to bridge the gap — or increase their margins in the polarized communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"2024 California Voter Guide\" link1='https://www.kqed.org/voterguide,Learn everything you need to cast an informed ballot for the 2024 general election' hero=https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/80/2024/09/Aside-California-Voter-Guide-2024-General-Election-1200x1200-1.png]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Irvine, like Orange County as a whole, has moved leftward since the emergence of Donald Trump as the Republican Party’s standard bearer — reflecting suburban opposition to the former president and the GOP’s rightward move on issues like abortion. Huntington Beach appears to be moving in the opposite direction: the city is a hub for conservative activism and local voters have recently backed conservative councilmembers and ballot measures.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘This tale of two cities’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The split between the two cities could be explained by a gap in educational attainment, which Jon Gould, dean of the School of Social Ecology at the University of California, Irvine, called the most important demarcation in OC politics. Over 72% of Irvine residents hold college degrees, compared to around 44% in Huntington Beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we’re seeing happening here in Orange County is the real divide of left to right, Democrat to Republican, is college education versus non-college education,” said Gould, who heads the UC Irvine poll.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The so-called “diploma divide” has helped shift Orange County from a GOP stronghold to a political battleground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It used to be that the college-educated would typically be more Republican,” Gould added. “What we’re seeing right now in the Trump era is the college-educated are much more strongly Democratic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Polling conducted by Gould shows the education trend beginning to extend across racial and ethnic groups in a county where just 37% of residents are white. A UC Irvine poll of county voters in April found support for President Joe Biden’s reelection stood at 41% with both white and non-white voters without a college degree. Meanwhile, support for Biden among white and non-white voters with a diploma stood at 55% and 54%, respectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re seeing this diploma divide actually overtake, in many instances, race and ethnicity as driving behavior,” said Mike Madrid, a longtime California political consultant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This education gap, along with divergent trends in population growth and housing policy, has left Irvine and Huntington Beach at loggerheads: two communities embodying a larger divide in national politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s why you’ve got this tale of two cities,” said Tammy Kim, an Irvine city council member.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>With growth, Irvine moves to the left\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Irvine’s story is one of rapid growth. A master-planned community built on the Irvine Company Ranch, the city wasn’t officially incorporated until 1971. Since 1990, the city’s population has nearly tripled as city leaders have approved ambitious developments to house new residents, including many arriving from Asia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are building the most, not in terms of just market priced homes, but we are actually the regional leader in affordable housing,” said Kim, a native of Korea who is running to be Irvine’s next mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As we are growing, we’re growing to be more diverse and more progressive,” Kim added. “We have the largest Persian community anywhere in Orange County. We have the largest Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean communities here in Irvine.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/homeless-housing/story/2024-08-16/the-nations-hottest-housing-market-irvine\">According to the \u003cem>Los Angeles Times\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, Irvine has added more residents than any other California city in the past three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those new arrivals is Ren Kondo, who moved from Austin this summer to a house just down the street from the Turtle Rock fundraiser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I chose Irvine because I think Irvine is a very advanced and chill community for Asians,” said Kondo, who met the hosts of the Democratic gathering at his own housewarming party the week before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Kim, what unites Irvine’s diverse residents is their shared emphasis on education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have very highly educated people that make their way to Irvine,” she added. “They choose to have their home in Irvine, and they come here because of the education system so their children can also have access to the best education system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12011656\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12011656 size-medium\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/GettyImages-1058414852-800x532.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/GettyImages-1058414852-800x532.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/GettyImages-1058414852-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/GettyImages-1058414852-160x106.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/GettyImages-1058414852-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/GettyImages-1058414852-1920x1278.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/GettyImages-1058414852.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Students wait in line to cast their ballot at a polling station on the campus of the University of California, Irvine, on Nov. 6, 2018, in Irvine, California, on Election Day.

Both Porter and Min were UC Irvine professors before launching campaigns for office.

In the 1960s, it expanded from 11,492 to 115,962 residents after the city annexed surrounding farmland and greenlit housing projects in seaside wetlands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mike Ali arrived in town in the late ’60s. He came with “a few thousand dollars and a ‘65 Impala and a young wife,” and for years has run a beachside concession stand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I moved to Huntington Beach, 95% of the population were middle-class working white people,” Ali said. “A lot of the people who came down here and bought houses in the ‘60s and the ‘70s are dying or selling their home, and [they] go somewhere else, and the kids take over.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While more recent population growth has brought racial diversity to cities like Irvine, white residents still make up a majority in Huntington Beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Huntington Beach’s population growth has leveled off, city leaders have vehemently resisted efforts to plan for new housing. That has resulted in a series of legal clashes with Gov. Gavin Newsom, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11943154/they-asked-for-this-california-sues-huntington-beach-for-flouting-laws-meant-to-ease-housing-crisis\">who has called the city “Exhibit A” among municipalities\u003c/a> failing to address housing affordability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s almost like a small town where people know each other, they watch for each other, there’s Neighborhood Watch,” Strickland said. “And even though we have 200,000 people, it has a suburban coastal community and kind of a neighborhood feel, unlike Irvine, which is…a lot of high-rise, high-density apartment buildings.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A hub for conservative activism\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Decades ago, Huntington Beach developed a reputation for right-wing extremism.

Just last month, a man accused of leading a white supremacist group in the city pled guilty to a charge of inciting a riot during a political rally in the city in 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many locals point to the pandemic as an inflection point for its role as a hub for conservative activism. The Huntington Beach waterfront and pier became a gathering spot for protests against beach and business closures and curfews that often doubled as rallies in support of Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12011663\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12011663 size-medium\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/GettyImages-1229732397-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/GettyImages-1229732397-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/GettyImages-1229732397-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/GettyImages-1229732397-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/GettyImages-1229732397-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/GettyImages-1229732397-1920x1281.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/GettyImages-1229732397.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Huntington Beach, California, Saturday, Nov. 21, 2020.

In 2022, conservatives won a majority on the local board and made headlines for laws \u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/health/covid-mandate-ban\">banning local vaccine and mask requirements\u003c/a> — and more recently a \u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/education/huntington-beach-sues-the-state-over-parental-notification-ban\">“notification” ordinance requiring city staff to alert parents\u003c/a> about a child’s sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Competing for the 47th District\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Many local Democrats believe the rightward swing in Huntington Beach is more fleeting than the consolidation of liberal strength in Irvine. They point to the close divide on the Huntington Beach city council (split four to three in favor of conservatives) and the Republican turnout edge in the 2022 midterms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Strickland is confident the council majority has the backing of Surf City residents. After all, when proposals to restrict flags such as the Pride flag from city buildings and enact a local requirement for voter ID were put before voters in March, they both were approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When people said we were out of step with our city, we put it to the vote,” Strickland said. “And overwhelmingly, the flag ordinance passed, I believe, by 14%. And even after all the money and everything was spent on the other side, voter ID passed by, I think, a healthy 7%.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Madrid predicts the diploma divide between communities like Irvine and Huntington Beach will continue to push cultural issues to the forefront of political campaigns, intensifying fights over changing gender and identity norms that “Democrats, in large part because of a function of the college education, are more comfortable with.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2024 and beyond, Madrid said he is watching to see if these education dividing lines begin to chip away at the longstanding ethnic, partisan loyalties that have defined politics in the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This becomes the existential battle that you’re seeing in the 47th District or Orange County more broadly,” Madrid said. “And the country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Over 72% of Irvine residents hold college degrees, compared to around 44% in Huntington Beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we’re seeing happening here in Orange County is the real divide of left to right, Democrat to Republican, is college education versus non-college education,” said Gould, who heads the UC Irvine poll.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The so-called “diploma divide” has helped shift Orange County from a GOP stronghold to a political battleground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It used to be that the college-educated would typically be more Republican,” Gould added. “What we’re seeing right now in the Trump era is the college-educated are much more strongly Democratic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Polling conducted by Gould shows the education trend beginning to extend across racial and ethnic groups in a county where just 37% of residents are white. A UC Irvine poll of county voters in April found support for President Joe Biden’s reelection stood at 41% with both white and non-white voters without a college degree. Meanwhile, support for Biden among white and non-white voters with a diploma stood at 55% and 54%, respectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re seeing this diploma divide actually overtake, in many instances, race and ethnicity as driving behavior,” said Mike Madrid, a longtime California political consultant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This education gap, along with divergent trends in population growth and housing policy, has left Irvine and Huntington Beach at loggerheads: two communities embodying a larger divide in national politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s why you’ve got this tale of two cities,” said Tammy Kim, an Irvine city council member.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>With growth, Irvine moves to the left\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Irvine’s story is one of rapid growth. A master-planned community built on the Irvine Company Ranch, the city wasn’t officially incorporated until 1971. Since 1990, the city’s population has nearly tripled as city leaders have approved ambitious developments to house new residents, including many arriving from Asia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are building the most, not in terms of just market priced homes, but we are actually the regional leader in affordable housing,” said Kim, a native of Korea who is running to be Irvine’s next mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As we are growing, we’re growing to be more diverse and more progressive,” Kim added. “We have the largest Persian community anywhere in Orange County. We have the largest Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean communities here in Irvine.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/homeless-housing/story/2024-08-16/the-nations-hottest-housing-market-irvine\">According to the \u003cem>Los Angeles Times\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, Irvine has added more residents than any other California city in the past three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those new arrivals is Ren Kondo, who moved from Austin this summer to a house just down the street from the Turtle Rock fundraiser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I chose Irvine because I think Irvine is a very advanced and chill community for Asians,” said Kondo, who met the hosts of the Democratic gathering at his own housewarming party the week before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Kim, what unites Irvine’s diverse residents is their shared emphasis on education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have very highly educated people that make their way to Irvine,” she added. “They choose to have their home in Irvine, and they come here because of the education system so their children can also have access to the best education system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12011656\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12011656 size-medium\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/GettyImages-1058414852-800x532.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/GettyImages-1058414852-800x532.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/GettyImages-1058414852-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/GettyImages-1058414852-160x106.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/GettyImages-1058414852-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/GettyImages-1058414852-1920x1278.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/GettyImages-1058414852.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Students wait in line to cast their ballot at a polling station on the campus of the University of California, Irvine, on Nov. 6, 2018, in Irvine, California, on Election Day.

In the 1960s, it expanded from 11,492 to 115,962 residents after the city annexed surrounding farmland and greenlit housing projects in seaside wetlands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mike Ali arrived in town in the late ’60s. He came with “a few thousand dollars and a ‘65 Impala and a young wife,” and for years has run a beachside concession stand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I moved to Huntington Beach, 95% of the population were middle-class working white people,” Ali said. “A lot of the people who came down here and bought houses in the ‘60s and the ‘70s are dying or selling their home, and [they] go somewhere else, and the kids take over.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While more recent population growth has brought racial diversity to cities like Irvine, white residents still make up a majority in Huntington Beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Huntington Beach’s population growth has leveled off, city leaders have vehemently resisted efforts to plan for new housing. That has resulted in a series of legal clashes with Gov.

In 2022, conservatives won a majority on the local board and made headlines for laws \u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/health/covid-mandate-ban\">banning local vaccine and mask requirements\u003c/a> — and more recently a \u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/education/huntington-beach-sues-the-state-over-parental-notification-ban\">“notification” ordinance requiring city staff to alert parents\u003c/a> about a child’s sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Competing for the 47th District\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Many local Democrats believe the rightward swing in Huntington Beach is more fleeting than the consolidation of liberal strength in Irvine. They point to the close divide on the Huntington Beach city council (split four to three in favor of conservatives) and the Republican turnout edge in the 2022 midterms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Strickland is confident the council majority has the backing of Surf City residents. After all, when proposals to restrict flags such as the Pride flag from city buildings and enact a local requirement for voter ID were put before voters in March, they both were approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When people said we were out of step with our city, we put it to the vote,” Strickland said. “And overwhelmingly, the flag ordinance passed, I believe, by 14%. And even after all the money and everything was spent on the other side, voter ID passed by, I think, a healthy 7%.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Madrid predicts the diploma divide between communities like Irvine and Huntington Beach will continue to push cultural issues to the forefront of political campaigns, intensifying fights over changing gender and identity norms that “Democrats, in large part because of a function of the college education, are more comfortable with.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2024 and beyond, Madrid said he is watching to see if these education dividing lines begin to chip away at the longstanding ethnic, partisan loyalties that have defined politics in the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This becomes the existential battle that you’re seeing in the 47th District or Orange County more broadly,” Madrid said. “And the country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Calling Huntington Beach “Exhibit A in what’s wrong with housing in California,” Gov. Gavin Newsom joined Attorney General Rob Bonta in filing a lawsuit against the oceanside community in Orange County for flouting laws designed to ease the state’s affordability crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonta called the city’s actions “blatant, egregious, brazen” and said his office is also filing a motion for a preliminary injunction to block it from imposing bans on certain types of new housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The city had ample notice and time to course correct. Instead, they chose a path that led us right where we are today,” Bonta said during a livestreamed press conference Thursday. “They have asked for this, and they have earned this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The escalation comes as Newsom and his administration are ramping up efforts to hold cities accountable for reaching the state’s housing goal of 2.5 million new homes and apartments by 2031. But getting there requires overcoming backlash from some local leaders, who must implement the laws locally.[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_11937777,news_11929505,news_11938267\"]Santa Monica land use attorney Dave Rand compared Huntington Beach to the Confederacy — acting like it wants to secede from California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That is not a solution,” Rand said, adding that he thought the city’s legal claim was unwinnable. “They will be forced to submit to the same laws that they’re attempting to fight now, except pay fines and be embarrassed and held out as a pariah when it comes to trying to house people in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to the state’s action Thursday, Huntington Beach filed its own lawsuit against California in federal court. The city’s 59-page complaint challenges California’s right to force them to build more housing, a move UC Davis law professor Chris Elmendorf called “frivolous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While there is maybe an argument you could make about the state constitution, there’s really no argument you can make that there’s anything the state is doing that violates any federal law, even if you get a rogue judge,” Elmendorf said. “I think it’s political posturing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state first sued the city in 2019 for failing to adopt a state-approved housing plan, which is required every eight years. Huntington Beach initially claimed it should be exempt as a charter city, but ultimately \u003ca href=\"https://www.ocregister.com/2020/01/13/huntington-beach-and-state-reach-tentative-settlement-of-housing-suit/\">settled the case out of court\u003c/a> after losing access to state funds for its homelessness response programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The latest skirmish centers on votes the Huntington Beach City Council took in February to stop processing applications for backyard cottages, along with applications for new duplexes and lot splits, the latter of which were legalized for most urban properties under Senate Bill 9.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ty Youngblood said at Thursday’s press conference his own family’s plans to build a backyard cottage for his aging mother have been thwarted by the council’s decision. His family took out a loan in excess of $250,000 for the project and was preparing architectural designs when he learned of the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not only is his family paying interest on the loan with no guarantee they’ll be able to build, but he said the uncertainty has added considerable stress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My mother is … 82 years old,” he said. “We thought it was a good idea that I try to get back home to be able to support her as she gets older. And this decision by the City Council … it was nonsensical.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The backyard cottages and duplexes are part of a broader campaign by Newsom and lawmakers to reverse decades of underproduction in housing, which they said has led to some of the highest home prices and rents in the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We recognize we need to do more, better as a state to address the original sin that is affordability,” Newsom said Thursday. “It’s directly connected with the issues that drive so much of our frustration with the Golden State.”[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Attorney General Rob Bonta\"]‘The city had ample notice and time to course correct. Instead, they chose a path that led us right where we are today. They have asked for this, and they have earned this.’[/pullquote]But, at a March 7 City Council meeting, Huntington Beach Mayor Tony Strickland framed the votes as taking a stand to defend the suburban nature of the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When people say I’m a NIMBY, I can’t believe that because I’ve never been accused of that in my entire life,” Strickland said. “What I am against is the urbanization of a wonderful suburban community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city also introduced a proposal to exempt itself from the “builder’s remedy” — a decades-old law that allows developers to override a city’s local zoning rules if the state has not yet approved a city’s housing plan, which is due every eight years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Huntington Beach was required to submit its most recent plan in Oct. 2022 for how it would accommodate more than 13,000 new homes and apartments by 2031. It’s one of 246 jurisdictions across California that does not yet have a compliant housing plan and are thus subject to the builder’s remedy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jessamyn Garner, spokesperson for housing advocacy organization YIMBY Action, lives in Huntington Beach and said the council’s actions to limit development have led to rising housing costs, which make it hard for working-class residents to remain in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The actions from the City Council are really just sending the message that they don’t want renters and young families and seniors and teachers to live in the community,” Garner said. “But working people deserve to live in the community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Instead, they chose a path that led us right where we are today,” Bonta said during a livestreamed press conference Thursday. “They have asked for this, and they have earned this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The escalation comes as Newsom and his administration are ramping up efforts to hold cities accountable for reaching the state’s housing goal of 2.5 million new homes and apartments by 2031. But getting there requires overcoming backlash from some local leaders, who must implement the laws locally.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The city’s 59-page complaint challenges California’s right to force them to build more housing, a move UC Davis law professor Chris Elmendorf called “frivolous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While there is maybe an argument you could make about the state constitution, there’s really no argument you can make that there’s anything the state is doing that violates any federal law, even if you get a rogue judge,” Elmendorf said. “I think it’s political posturing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state first sued the city in 2019 for failing to adopt a state-approved housing plan, which is required every eight years. Huntington Beach initially claimed it should be exempt as a charter city, but ultimately \u003ca href=\"https://www.ocregister.com/2020/01/13/huntington-beach-and-state-reach-tentative-settlement-of-housing-suit/\">settled the case out of court\u003c/a> after losing access to state funds for its homelessness response programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The latest skirmish centers on votes the Huntington Beach City Council took in February to stop processing applications for backyard cottages, along with applications for new duplexes and lot splits, the latter of which were legalized for most urban properties under Senate Bill 9.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ty Youngblood said at Thursday’s press conference his own family’s plans to build a backyard cottage for his aging mother have been thwarted by the council’s decision. His family took out a loan in excess of $250,000 for the project and was preparing architectural designs when he learned of the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not only is his family paying interest on the loan with no guarantee they’ll be able to build, but he said the uncertainty has added considerable stress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My mother is … 82 years old,” he said. “We thought it was a good idea that I try to get back home to be able to support her as she gets older. And this decision by the City Council … it was nonsensical.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The backyard cottages and duplexes are part of a broader campaign by Newsom and lawmakers to reverse decades of underproduction in housing, which they said has led to some of the highest home prices and rents in the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We recognize we need to do more, better as a state to address the original sin that is affordability,” Newsom said Thursday. “It’s directly connected with the issues that drive so much of our frustration with the Golden State.”\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Gavin Newsom on Thursday proposed that the state ban new oil drilling within 3,200 feet of schools, homes and hospitals to protect public health in what would be the nation's largest buffer zone between oil wells and communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's the latest effort by Newsom's administration to wind down oil production in California, aligning him with environmental advocates pushing to curb the effects of climate change and against the powerful oil industry in the nation's seventh-largest oil-producing state.[aside postID=\"news_11891079\" label=\"Related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that effort is especially necessary to protect vulnerable communities, said Darryl Molina Sarmiento, executive director of Communities for a Better Environment, in a Thursday press conference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are tired of being treated like sacrifice zones with dangerous health impacts of living next to oil production, including higher rates of asthma and respiratory illness, low birth weights and adverse birth outcomes, heart disease, and more,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Studies show living near a drilling site can elevate risks of birth defects, cancer, respiratory problems and other health issues. Two million Californians live within 3,200 feet of oil-drilling sites, primarily in Los Angeles County and the Central Valley. The proposal would not ban wells already operating in that zone but would add new pollution controls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Extracting oil is a dirty business and it's had a real impact on Californians,\" said Jared Blumenfeld, California’s secretary for environmental protection. “Often we frame it as it's about air pollution, it's about climate change. This is really about helping communities and community health near these facilities.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom's administration released \u003ca href=\"https://www.conservation.ca.gov/calgem/Documents/public-health/PHRM%20Draft%20Rule.pdf\">a draft of the new rules Thursday morning\u003c/a>, though they could be changed over a 60-day comment period. After then, the state's energy regulator will submit the proposed rule to the Office of Administrative Law to receive additional comments and refine the rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This would be the first time California has set statewide rules on how close drilling can be to homes, schools and other sites. Other oil- and gas-producing states such as Colorado, Pennsylvania and even Texas have rules about how close oil wells can be to certain properties. Colorado’s 2,000-foot setback on new drilling, adopted last year, is the nation’s strictest rule right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California's plan for a 3,200-foot buffer, if adopted, would also go further than the 2,500-foot buffer environmental groups sought.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“State regulators listened to the scientists, they didn’t shy away from proposing the largest setback requirement in the nation when it became clear that was needed to protect public health,” said Ann Alexander, senior attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It comes in the wake of a massive oil spill that coated Southern California beaches earlier this month when an underwater pipeline burst just off Huntington Beach. Federal investigators are examining whether a container ship snagged the pipeline earlier this year and dragged it on the seabed. The spill \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11891224/huntington-beach-oil-spill-renews-calls-to-ban-offshore-drilling\">has prompted calls for the federal government to ban offshore drilling\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom, who just survived a recall election, has directed state air regulators to come up with a plan to end oil and gas production in the state by 2045 and curb demand by banning the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035. But he has faced criticism from environmental groups for not moving more aggressively to protect residents with lower incomes and communities of color from the effects of climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Thursday press conference, advocates said Newsom's effort to curb drilling would be a measurable success. Dr. Carol Archie, an obstetrician-gynecologist, said her patients breathe in unhealthy air and suffer ill effects because of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I want to thank the governor for tackling this issue because it is what will save lives — moms, babies,\" she said. \"I want my mothers to live well and live long enough to be grandmothers and great-grandmothers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Western States Petroleum Association, an oil and gas interest group, blasted the proposed rules as an “activist assault on California’s way of life, economy and people” in a statement from President Catherine Reheis-Boyd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reheis-Boyd said the industry doesn't oppose local setbacks but does not approve of a statewide rule. The association was aligned with the influential State Building and Construction Trade Council, a labor union, in opposing statewide rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said the rules would lead to less reliable energy and higher prices in an industry that employs about 150,000 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the cost of that drilling is too high, said Dr. Cedric \"Jamie\" Rutland, a pulmonary and critical care physician from the American Lung Association, and communities often bear the brunt of the environmental fallout, which can lead to asthma and hospitalizations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These patients ... I take care of on a daily basis. In my practice, I can see the fear in families trying to make sure that their child can take that deep breath,\" Rutland said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Geologic Energy Management Division, known as CalGEM, regulates the state’s oil industry and issues permits for new drilling. Newsom changed the agency’s name and directed it to focus more on health and safety when he took office in 2019, specifically telling the division to consider setbacks around oil drilling to protect community health. The rules released Thursday are the result of that process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once the rules are finalized, it will be at least another year before they take effect, likely in 2023, said Wade Crowfoot, secretary of the California Natural Resources Agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CalGEM has long faced criticism that it’s too cozy with the industry it regulates. Crowfoot acknowledged that the regulator needs to better enforce oil companies’ compliance with state law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wells within 3,200 feet of community sites account for about a third of the state’s oil extraction, Crowfoot said. There are about 32,400 wells in that zone, said Erin Mellon, a Newsom spokesperson. Community sites include homes and apartments, preschools and K-12 schools, day cares, businesses and health care facilities such as hospitals and nursing homes.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Darryl Molina Sarmiento, executive director of Communities for a Better Environment\"]\"We are tired of being treated like sacrifice zones with dangerous health impacts of living next to oil production, including higher rates of asthma and respiratory illness, low birth weights and adverse birth outcomes, heart disease and more.\"[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wells within the 3,200-foot zone would not be shut down but would be required to meet a host of new safety requirements, including comprehensive leak detection and response plans, technology that allows for vapor recovery, water sampling and a reduction of nighttime lighting and dust. Those rules are designed to limit health effects such as asthma and pregnancy complications, and cut nuisances like noise pollution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would be legally difficult for the state to shut down those wells, but administration officials said they hope the new rules will be burdensome enough to prompt some drillers to close them. Well operators would be financially responsible for meeting the requirements and have one to two years to do so, state officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blumenfeld said the rules are intended to send a strong signal to existing drillers that “they’re going to have to invest a significant amount of time, money and attention in order to get into compliance.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state received more than 40,000 public comments on the draft rules and convened a 15-member panel of public health experts to research the effects of neighborhood oil drilling on health and safety. State officials said they plan to release findings from the health panel Thursday but will not release the full report until the final plan is ready.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Thursday's press conference, after all the advocates spoke and the complexities and hurdles of the plan were laid out, Newsom boiled down California's energy future into one idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We don't see oil in our future.
