Open Philanthropy considers California a promising jurisdiction for land use reform advocacy because the state accounts for 12% of the United States population and around half of the most expensive areas in the country; because California has very high rates of rent-inclusive poverty and high rates of out-migration by low-income residents; because state-level advocacy appears to be more tractable than city-level advocacy; and because of other reasons.^[2]

Open Philanthropy estimates the social value of a new housing unit in coastal California to be in the low hundreds of thousands of dollars.^[3] Combining this estimate with the consensus view that California should build millions of new houses suggests that efforts that increase the probability of more housing being built have very high expected value.^[2]
