Revamping zoning laws probably is the solution. Make it easier to build more housing.

  I think the parent commenter was being sarcastic and would agree with you.

    This is hilarious. California is so liberal that people are taking my sarcastic comment literally.

      What always surprises me is that in the US "liberal" means left leaning and pro government intervention. Which is basically the opposite of liberalism.

        > What always surprises me is that in the US "liberal" means left leaning and pro government intervention. Which is basically the opposite of liberalism. Politically speaking, "left leaning" and "liberal" are both terms of 18th century origin, referring to the same kind of opponents of the centralized monarchic/oligarchic authority in favor of distribution of power to the people at large based on a conception of inherent rights; they certainly aren't opposite terms. And the modern US liberal/conservative divide is a lot more about the purpose of government intervention than for/against it. (Both liberals and conservatives attack each other over different policies for supporting government control over individual freedom.)
