Mountain House cityhood vote

Mountain House is voting on becoming California’s newest city, and it’s not just a name change—it decides who runs local services, sets taxes, and approves development. If it passes, residents get a new city government with more local control but also new costs and responsibilities. If it fails, San Joaquin County keeps calling the shots.
