The Netherlands is about 43k sqkm. California is 430k sqkm. You do the math :-)

It's bad development, not development itself. Car centric, bad public transport, low population densities in cities, etc.

If its so bad, how come its so expensive and people want to move there? The population of Amsterdam is the same as it was 60 years ago. It isn't popular, I'm not sure why you think its a good model - esp as it restricts development so strictly.
