If the city council isn't bought (means it can't be Democrats) and isn't stupid (rules out most GOP), then private investors can, if they're crazy, build rental real estate and ease the demand for housing. Crazy because most states severely punish the owner who dares to rent his property.
Another problem contributing to the high cost of housing, is, naturally, the Invaders, aka the "illegal aliens". At least 10% of the people living in CA (and the rest of the US, too) are criminals, illegal aliens, and if they were deported, as every single one of them should be, the demand for housing would go down and thus the cost of housing would follow.
And smart people would make a bundle with house cleaning services to pick up after those disgusting pigs.
