You actually do want more homes built because that will attract more services and the cost of living will go down.

  Convince California homeowners of that. Good luck!

  That's not true. More homes require more/better infrastructure (e.g. water, sewage, roadways). Infrastructure improvements cost massive amounts of money meaning tax increases.

    More customers means more businesses, a wider tax base.

      Infrastructure costs far far outweigh tax increases. Portland's East Side Big Pipe built to reduce the amount of sewage going into the river cost $1.4 billion paid by real-estate taxes.
