It’s like they wanted to riff on the failed ‘08 candidate for the vice presidency but couldn’t allow themselves to do it.

Maybe they're taking the Steve Ballmer approach to promotion

To me it sounds like “developers, developers, developers”
But I am glad that the media is reporting this. California is slowly killing itself with its housing policy. I live in an area where there are only people who are either rich retirees or whose parents have bought real estate before the market went crazy. And these people kill any effort to build more. It’s basically impossible for regular people to live here.

#8The answer _is_ building more. (I'll say this before the people on Hacker News who are opposed to all private property suggest that "prop 13" is the problem. It's not.)
The problem is they don't build enough. Build build build!
They need the California State Government to overrule local zoning limits. We need to allow dense housing near rail lines and major roads. And I think that anywhere a single-family detached home currently exists, a 2-family home should be allowed.
Build more housing! It's that simple. Prices will fall fast.
