Seal Beach Council Backs Down From Third Story Ban
Facing an initiative vote, the Seal Beach City Council began the process of repealing the ban on third story housing, reports the Register. The Council voted 3-2 to repeal the ban. I applaud the victory for property rights. I am not a big fan of the initiative process, but, in this case, it worked. It's not over yet, as council members are promising "new laws intended to preserve the character of Old Town." (Translation: We won't let this "temporary setback" interfere with our right to tell you what you do with your own property)
