This is not a housing crisis, there is enough houses built in California. This is an overpopulation crisis : Simply too many people searching for a house. Don't take the problem the reverse way.
If there are enough houses how is it "overpopulation". It's clearly a failing of the housing market. It's not able to efficiently allocate houses to people that need them, it's designed to allocate houses only to people who can maximize profit for land owners.
Rent control means there isn't a true housing market when only a tiny fraction of apartments are at market rate.
I live in SF and there is def. a lack of housing.
Who gets to decide how many people is too many?
Who decides how much water can fit in a glass?
Well that's a terrible analogy.
Can you be a little more constructive than that? If you think it's terrible, maybe you can explain why you think it's terrible?
Can you explain what water is and what the glass is in your analogy?
Water is people, and glass is the planet earth, with its limited natural resources.
The Earth still exists and yet there are ~7 billion people on it. Is that too many?
