It's why there's a housing crisis: only 19% of Californians surveyed support growing the state's population (vs 40% of Texans). With 18-24 yr olds & Spanish speakers being the most supportive (34%) vs 40% of Conservatives, Whites, and over 45 most in favor of population degrowth.
It's hard to envision an affordable California when there's such consensus that California should adopt China style population limits or depopulate. But the huge 27% difference from early 20s to mid 40s shows the intensity of the yimby vs nimby wars.

The majority of California respondents 45% believe the state's population should remain the same with over a 1/3rd supporting reducing the population and 1/5th supporting increasing it.
Still it's not totally hopeless for housing: A recent FM3 poll confirmed what PPIC, LA polls and others have showed which is that the majority of Californians support building more low carbon, infill housing. 
People that support population degrowth are just hypocritical like if you think there's too many people here you can always be part of the solution and leave
