California is having a massive housing crisis. The leading issue is (surprise) that they don't have enough houses for their rapidly growing population.

Between the many myriad state and local regulations, permits, fees, graft, and red tape, any developers able to pull off new housing pass those costs on to would-be renters and buyers.
