particularly in the state’s interior, where new affordable housing could most efficiently be built

But uh, that's not where the jobs are.

Mr. Kotkin is right but conveniently forgets to mention the elephant in the room: Mass immigration.

That's why the competition for space is so severe, in addition to the selfish land use laws (when does Los Altos Hills open up and let the unwashed masses in?).

Now that ten million Mexicans (low estimate) have walked in over the last 30 years, which Mr. Kotkin was all for back in 2001, we have to pave paradise to give them breeding space?

How bout just ending mass immigration into the United States? Focus on jobs and housing for the Americans?

My philosophy is: deport all illegals and allow only 250,000 people per year to immigrate.
