Flavored E-cigarette Ban

Laguna Niguel residents are pushing back hard against a proposed homeless shelter, sparking major debates over local zoning and where support services should go. People are clashing over community safety, property values, and the city's responsibility to handle regional homelessness.
Sober-living Homes Ban
Laguna Niguel is hitting the brakes on new sober-living homes with a temporary ban. The city council is exploring new regulations, so if you're a resident or looking to open a facility, this could change things.
Sister City Relations
Laguna Niguel might be ditching its sister city, and get this – the reason is that the city is now run by ISIS. Talk about a seriously awkward international split!
