Huntington Beach Blasts CA Governor Newsom Over Housing Lawsuit

Special Investigation: The City of Huntington Beach and California Governor Gavin Newsom are fighting over lack of affordable housing in iconic Surf City USA. California state leaders and housing rights activists have been arguing for years that there is a housing crisis in the Golden State. And possibly for good reason. California is one of the most expensive places to live and there is not enough affordable housing for its millions of residents who struggle to pay their bills and rent. And this lack of housing can lead to homelessness. The State of California and Governor Newsom are mandating the City of Huntington Beach build thousands of affordable housing units in Surf City. There is just one problem. Neither Huntington Beach city leaders nor most of their residents want this controversial high density real estate development to take place. Now Newsom and the State are suing Huntington Beach to force them to build. Should the City of Huntington Beach take personal responsibility and build this massive housing project or is there something more concerning going on here that Newsom and the State refuse to admit. Reporter David Nazar investigates.
