      I knew before evening opening the article it was HB.

      Huntington Beach, the high desert by the sea.

    I knew this would be Huntington Beach from the headline alone, and I’ve never even lived in socal. Sucks that that town is the way it is.

      This beach town is slowly dying. Rising sea levels are already swallowing it’s beaches during the highest tides and they will eventually demolish the city itself. And these myopic GOP voters would rather ban pride month flags than recognize the climate crisis they are leaving their grandchildren.

      We don’t need to pretend this flag ban is a serious issue by serious voters.

      I know reading articles is tough, and I’m not a fan of HB, or this policy, but the very easy to find answer is yes.

      By public referendum they voted to limit flags on public buildings to exclusively government and POW flags.

    How much of Huntington Beach is city property? Seems like a law only designed to signal the local governments values.
