California has its own slew of historical policies which have dramatically decreased housing supply. A guy in san francisco was denied a permit to convert his laundromat into apartments because the city planners determined it would cast a partial shadow on a nearby playground for god's sake. That was after he had to shell out $$$ to determine that his laundromat was not a historical site. In Palo Alto, not a single new house was built in the 1970s. >It's supply and demand, not liberal or conservative policies. Do you not understand policies influence supply and demand? What do you think happens to supply after zoning laws and rent control are passed?
