charter city argumentsCalMatters
•82% Informative
A recent court ruling exempted five charter cities from a controversial state housing law.
Those cities are “charter cities’ — jurisdictions with their own constitutions that grant them extra independence from state law.
At least three California cities, all San Francisco Bay Area suburbs, have taken first step toward adopting charter.
California cities have come in two distinct flavors: “General law” cities and charter cities.
Charter cities granted autonomy when it comes to “municipal affairs” The state constitution doesn’t actually specify what those affairs are.
The April ruling is a notable exception to the trend, but it’s not something on which to hang a legal revolution.
