BRIEFLY.Council asks for state fee waiver The Los Angeles City Council  The Los Angeles City Council is the governing body of the City of Los Angeles, California, United States. voted Friday to ask the Housing
Authority to temporarily suspend a $150 fee the agency enacted for
processing paperwork during condo sales.
Several council members have voiced concerns over the fee, which raises money to cover the cost of processing paperwork under a 33-year-old affordable-housing ordinance that has never produced a single unit of low-income housing.
