Cities’ Response to Attorney General’s Appeal of Favorable Judgment for Cities Striking Down SB9 as Unconstitutional
On June 21, 2024, the California Attorney General filed a notice of appeal in an attempt to reverse the judgment. Despite the fact that SB 9 has not been amended in any way to cure its constitutional deficiencies since Judge Kin entered judgment in favor of Petitioner cities, the Attorney General files this appeal to relitigate this case. Mayor Lula Davis-Holmes from the City of Carson responded to this appeal, stating, “In Carson, we are pro-housing and have completed many affordable housing projects over the years. For example, we opened a remarkable 51-unit affordable housing complex called Veterans Village where monthly rents run from $15 to $1,800, depending on need. This lawsuit is not about housing, it’s about ensuring that the State follows the constitution.” Councilmember Nils Nehrenheim from the City of Redondo Beach expressed disappointment upon learning about this appeal, stating, “It is a shame that the Office of the Attorney General is wasting taxpayer dollars to bring this appeal instead of fixing the constitutional mistake they’ve made. Taxpayer dollars would be better spent if the State complied with its constitutional mandate.”
