Some states (montana Minnisota although the later is less likely to succeed imo) have started doing this at a state wide level, I think Cali has a particularly uphill battle since the housing situation is already bad and the headwind that we really will never be able to change: prop-13. (I think all the other things that are preventing new housing CEQA, SFZ poor public infrastructure can all be changed if we do it right but I don't see prop-13 ever changing even if we get these taken care of)

The malign thing about prop 13 is is basically means that for muni's property tax doesn't cover required services. It also distorts prices driving them higher.

Why is Minnesota less likely to succeed?

They invested a lot of money which is good and all of the programs they put it into seem like they will help, but I think their zoning reforms wern't strong enough to truely increase supply enough
