Long Beach faces high housing costs pushing workers to nearby towns and some residents to live outside the city. Proposition 5 on next Tuesday's ballot would amend the charter to allow appointments to boards and commissions from residents or those whose principal business is in the city, while keeping elective offices unchanged.
