U.S. Supreme Court

The U.S. Supreme Court won't weigh in on a California dispute over the payments some municipalities require developers to make to support low-income housing.

The justices on Monday denied review in 616 Croft Ave. v. West Hollywood, a challenge to that city's “inclusionary zoning” policy that required builders of an 11-unit condominium in 2011 to pay a $540,393.28 “affordable housing fee” to help subsidize construction of low-income housing elsewhere in the city. In some instances, builders instead are required to sell 20 percent of their units at below-market prices.
