  Food, water and shelter are fundamental human needs that everyone should have. It's wrong for society to deny Shelter to individuals on the grounds of: traffic, population density, and countless other slight inconveniences that are not on the same level as the need for shelter. I say solve Shelter first, then deal with the other problems. Furthermore, since government owns all the land outside of the zoned areas, they have a responsibility for making sure there's enough land allocated for people to live/house in - CA is doing a terrible job of this. Even in the furthest reaches of CA, housing prices are still almost twice the national average, especially egregious since only 5% of CA land is being used.

    The government does not own all of the land outside of the zoned areas (presumably "zoned" meaning zoned for residential). Plenty of it is owned by farmers and ranchers.
