Enforcing City Implementation of State Housing Laws

Ensuring cities enforce state-mandated housing laws, particularly focusing on the implementation of missing middle housing regulations, is crucial. Considering possible solutions like a builder's remedy or other forms of holding cities accountable is necessary. Challenges in California, where local jurisdictions hold sway over implementation, highlight the importance of state-level intervention. While the state can intervene in cases of gross violations, many cities manage to evade enforcement mechanisms, underscoring the need for stronger accountability measures.
