Despite having significantly higher population growth than California, Texas has delivered stable house prices without bubbles, keeping both housing costs and housing related taxes considerably lower than California.

Keep in mind, California is essentially the same as UK/Australia in terms of land use and planning (over)regulations, and as such everyone should basically model land regulations, infrastructure provisioning, and in general everything to do with housing on the Texas model. Now if only politicians could get their heads out of their asses and move on this most obvious data.
