California is not "booming". It has one of the highest unemployment and poverty rates in the country. Changing zoning at a state level is not something a governor should do and if he was really serious about improving housing stock he'd reduce state regulations, taxes and fees for new construction or any type of development which are among the highest in the nation.
If you think so highly of California, why did you leave and move to Florida, of all places? You should have stayed to enjoy all the benefits and bounty the Golden State has to offer (such as clean, well-run cities!) while reveling in Newsom's glorious triumph (paid for by special interests).
