Original Research?

A number of updates to the page have been stricken, incorrectly. I will begin the conversation concerning a claim of "Original Research." The research included on the page was by Robert Frank, a professor at Cornell University. It is not original to Wikipedia! The Supply-Demand for an asset is different from a consumer good. Would you like Robert Frank to comment on the Supply-Demand behavior of assets? The S-D Theory by Adam Smith applies to consumer goods and is known not to hold in all cases and the theory further is not predictive, it only describes behaviors after they have been observed and if not another theory is used to describe the situation.

I agree with Avatar317's concerns about your recent edits, and specifically with their revert that you appear to be referring to here.

Please read the No Original Research policy closely, specifically the WP:SYNTH part (e.g. Do not combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any source). Regards, HaeB (talk) 07:33, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pre-pandemic data

I had revised the page because it is outdated. The figures are all based on pre-pandemic data. The Department of Finance has revised its population projections down by several million to flat out to 2060. These projections were the basis for the housing unit allocations. The claims made in the opening are all from resources dating back to 2018. That is too old because California has entered an exodus. There is nothing left to support a housing shortage besides old outdated figures. FinancialCents (talk) 06:56, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Today I tagged the article as outdated. FinancialCents (talk) 00:37, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed Revision to Responses Section

My plan is to focus primarily on recent current policies, especially extremely recent bills passed that I have heard from housing advocacy organizations. Although the article is updated to 2021 and 2022, there are still some major bills that push through interesting new changes, such as SB 886 and SB 423. Yifu6 (talk) 21:31, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
