AG Bonta puts his weight behind Livermore’s effort to toss lawsuit over downtown housing

California Attorney General Rob Bonta has submitted an amicus brief in a lawsuit filed by the group Save Livermore Downtown against the city of Livermore, supporting the city’s request for dismissal, or expedited review, of an appeal challenging the city’s approval of Eden Housing’s 130-unit, downtown affordable housing project.

The initial lawsuit was filed in June 2021 and alleges the project is not consistent with Livermore’s downtown plan and the city did not do enough environmental review.
