"Housing advocates recently sued two cities, Camarillo and Fillmore, claiming they failed to build affordable housing for very low-income wage earners, especially farm workers... Attorney and housing advocate Barbara Macri Ortiz said she is considering filing a lawsuit against the city of Ventura. She said the city hasn't constructed any affordable housing for its poor residents, including farm workers, in the last 10 years."
