In the Kelly Turnbull (kellyturnbull.com) book series, California has collapsed to the point where the leadership is forced to bow to China to survive. They give them captured military hardware, intelligence, etc. Scary how close to reality that outcome is looking.

They want CA to turn to crap. There is only administrative approval (no hearings) and this will encourage building out backyards into low income housing. There goes the neighborhood. Of course if you live in zones for farm (or winery like Newsome and Pelosi) then you're not allowed to divide your land for low income houses.

The rich just want the poor off their beaches and into middle class (soon to be slum) neighborhoods. The government will give rent vouchers no doubt to fill the newly subdivided lots.

Re the market and let people build how they like - people bought into nice single family home neighborhoods. They worked hard to get the dream. There are certain ethnicities that like to make money and will RUIN someone's home value instantly by building high density low income (small sq ft) apartments out of their lot. Imagine the usual neighborhood street, and a home in the middle of the street builds out by dividing their home into 4 units as per the law. Now, homes on either side of that monstrosity, homes behind that monstrosity and homes on the opposite side of the street have their home value destroyed. Now people want to move out before their home value plummets. A new slum is born. Government then pays the rent vouchers to the welfare cases who can't pay any amount of rent no matter how low, and CA workers pick up the bill in tax and lose value in their single family homes until they too are poor.

Then you have dem exodus to your nice conservative state

The 'market' is letting cities decide their own zoning. You are free to move outside a city into a city which zoning suits you.

How about zone it single family and let people not buy there if they don't want to live with that?

Property rights aren't absolute. You can't move in next door and start burning tires because it's "your property." You're still shitting up the neighborhood, which is infringing on everyone else's property rights. Building nigger and spic dormitories isn't a property right.
