That's a failure of urban planning too. Either better infrastructure is needed or density needs to be located closer to good infrastructure. NIMBY planners in California are opposed to both. They block construction near high capacity transportation and they oppose the extension of that transportation to new places. The whole state seems to be run as a giant housing supply restriction cartel for the purpose of enriching existing property owners and speculators at the expense of newcomers, the young, the working class, and the poor. It's common to a lot of "blue states" but California has the worst case. It's rank hypocrisy and everyone involved should be ashamed. I came up with a way to show the hypocrisy: point out that "red" states like Texas and Arizona are more liberal than California because in those states a working class person can afford a place to live. Seriously... what kind of brain damage allows someone to advocate us being a "sanctuary state" for immigrants while simultaneously opposing any housing or infrastructure expansion? Where are these people supposed to live? Are they utterly incapable of rational thought?
