We sued Sausalito over its housing element yesterday. Lots of you have asked when YIMBY Law will challenge a “self-certified” housing element, so here it is!

Yes In My Back Yard v. City of Sausalito

We couldn’t wait for HCD’s noncompliance determination here because of a 35-day statute of limitations under CEQA. But we do anticipate that a lot of “self-certified” housing elements will get rejected in the coming weeks as well. We’re aware that adoption vs. certification vs. compliance can be confusing, so look for our explainer here around the new moon.
