Just because California is a blue state, doesn't mean it's uniformly blue. Trump received more votes from California than any other state (6 million vs 5.89 million in Texas [1]). There are a lot of pockets of very staunch conservatives in California.

But, yeah, it still tends to be the liberals who are the worst NIMBYs. That's just a result of them believing markets are unable to solve the problem.

California's population is 36% larger than Texas' population but only had 1.8% more votes for Trump. In contrast, California had 111% more votes for Biden.
