I'm not a California-lover, but if you look at the history of smog there, you'd understand exactly how they ended up with so much regulation on that front. And if you had lived through it, you'd probably support the regulation because it has made the air breathable again. The housing costs have more to do with everybody and their brother wanting to live there where all the rich tech companies are. Personally I wish they'd all stay there and quit moving up to Oregon & Washington, though TBH it's probably why my house goes up 50-100K a year in value.
