The housing problem isn't a money problem, it's almost entirely laws/policy issues.

There's already a mountain of private capital ready and consumer demand that the moment laws let them build they will, regardless of gov $ investment.

100%. Land use policy in CA (and the US more generally) is insane. Suburbia/car-dependency is a terrifically bad policy decision that CA _heavily_ bought into. We may need to wait for the boomers to die out a bit more before we can fix it.
