More importantly"private", what does that mean, what is inured, exuded by that? Single house?

Qhat is "privatel" mean. Not corporate? Individuals? I don't get what this is telling of.

Not every place requires permits. Isn't this typically a requirement for more urban areas?

The state of alaska has no building permit requirement. Some, but not all, municipalities have their own

You could argue that the data here says otherwise, given how incomplete this datum is. What if all the demand was fulfilled by high density housing? Now we both know that this isn’t the case, but that’s only because the homeless problem in. California is well documented.

Until we abolish greed, no country is headed in the right direction.

Pet Capita is a weird measurement to use. If there are a lot of housing units available, they wouldn't be adding a lot more. And "housing unit" also refers to apartments, not just houses. This map isn't really displaying any useful info.

A few counties are missing, but here is roughly the same thing by county. LINK

That’s not necessarily a causal relationship. Come on, we’re on a data and science focused sub. I’m saying the picture here is incomplete. You can determine very little from this particular chart on its own. I’m suggesting that OP maybe correct for variable demand using some empirical data, which will paint a more interesting and complete picture. I don’t know anything about California. I’m not arguing it’s a perfect state, and I don’t know how what I’ve said could be misconstrued as such. I’m trying to be a good steward of the data, and prevent those with preconceived ideas of what this extremely specific datum means from misunderstanding or misrepresenting it. Honestly, touch some grass and then take a good look at this thread.

Better then a crime infested democratic ran dump

Yeah, Americans in general have a fear of buying an apartment and more so in California. So everything is single family homes and sprawls of it.

Let's first free up all the empty houses sold to corporate investors, foreign nationals etc.

The demand is through the roof, as evidenced by the fact that a single family home costs over a million dollars in CA…

California is likely the exception to the rule for the chart. Nee York doesn't have new housing starts because it has no space for them. Generally, the Northeast is also losing people, so there isn't a need for new starts, whereas Texas and Florida have people moving there, requiring more starts

I’m not asking why. I’m wondering what the demand for this class of housing is, because this data on its own doesn’t really describe anything. Different demographics will have different intrinsic demands per capita, and I’m just asking the question.

Because they can’t?

yep

​

and then the people who live in the area will record the work and complain to the city for a stop work order

Demand for housing absolutely, but I don’t happen to know how many people in California are trying to build new single family homes

You ever see the wall of permits that new constructions in NYC?

Like a 6 foot wall of permits.

There isnt a hugely significant statistical deviation of household size per state. Utah and District of Columbia are outliers, but all other states are fairly close to the 2.54 person per household average for the country.

Permits are not issued because the regulatory hurdles to build make it so costly to build

in NYC some new housing developments have to be approved by the city council and many have to go through local community boards that hate most new housing

​

the construction costs aren't that high compared to the legal and other costs of having new housing approved

lots better after the train wreck of trumpism. He bragged about sexually assaulting women and somehow won.

Really? It seems I’m always seeing comments and statistics about how people are fleeing California for Texas. Maybe that’s why there aren’t as many houses being built. As far a NIMBYism goes the state recently passed a law allowing anyone with an existing house to be able to build a second one on the same lot or to convert their garage to an apartment and prohibits local governments from stopping it.
