KERN COUNTY CALIF. (KERO) — California is cracking down on 15 cities, including California City and Ridgecrest, for ignoring state housing laws.
Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a final warning to the communities on Wednesday.
State law requires local governments to plan for housing at all income levels. The state says these 15 jurisdictions are more than two years behind schedule.
The cities now have 30 days to respond to the violation notices. The state could sue them if they fail to comply.
