Texas is much more liberal in what you can do, which means that the market functions better. CA has much more - well meant - requirements and regulations.

I dispute this. Parking requirements and stopping multistorey housing have no environmental justification.

The individuals behind these regulations (anti-housing activists like Marc Andreessen and the local NIMBY politicians) are well educated and wealthy. They know what they're doing.
