I believe OP was sarcastic in their comment about California nationalizing industries and making fees based on equity. In particular the "population boom thundering on" was quite obvious sarcasm, given that California has been in a steady decline.

China is not like US / EU though. It's a ethnic nationalist neonazi dictatorship that is waging opium wars in 2022 and is destroying the planet. So the equivalency you are providing is a false one.

Not sure if this is sarcasm, but obviously this is not a valid comparison given the population size.
OTOH, Texas and Florida are both a fraction of a population compared to the sum of NY + CA + MA + IL.
By the way, even the states you listed (not nearly growing as fast as TX/FL) are still building more per capita than the NY / CA / MA / IL.

Florida and Texas each build more new housing than CA, NY, MA, and IL combined (each effectively run by a single party).
The answer is here, people just don't want it.

Binance is China-owned so there's no problems, all criminal allegations are false, company is in great shape, and customer's assets are safe. What about Coinbase?

You’re giving a lot of benefit of the doubt to the dictatorship. Establishing complete control over emerging power structures (tech industry) is more likely to be their goal.

Neoliberals want unrestricted zoning, land value tax, and freedom of enterprise. SF is all about blocking new housing and punishing corporations.
