Tokyo is huge though, it's population is about 1/3 that of the whole of California. So we are talking about a ratio of only 3+ in housing built per capita. Significant for sure, but hardly bizzare.
- davidw 9y agoThat an entire huge state cannot compete with an already somewhat dense city is mind boggling to me.
- krausejj 9y agoi got so deep here, i went and looked at US Census Building Permit data for MSAs: https://standupcalifornia.com/peers https://standupcalifornia.com/peers This is all primary research. The most shocking piece was that cities like Sacramento are permitting half as much housing per capita as peer cities like Seattle. Land is not the issue—this is a policy failure. But, we can fix it :)
