"The NIMBY cost of living problem is definitely huge add little annoys me more." it's not hugely relevant to the problem. California is massive, and 99.5% of it's land is available for most kinds of development. Citizens of a community have every right to decide how it should be managed. Most 'high income / high property prices' places in the US in the world do not have this kind of crime problem - generally it's the other way around. Gentrification for all it's good/bad elements generally leads to a reduction in crime.
