California said Anaheim's stadium sale broke the law. Who asked for an investigation?

LOS ANGELES — A longtime Orange County housing advocacy group warned the city of Anaheim on at least three occasions that its proposed Angel Stadium sale would violate California's affordable housing law, according to documents reviewed by The Los Angeles Times.

The city disagreed, and the City Council and the city's planning commission voted to approve the deal. The advocacy group then reported the matter to the state housing agency, which found that Anaheim indeed had violated the law.

That violation could cost Anaheim taxpayers close to $100 million.
