I actually kind of wonder if it's some kind of BS astroturfing from LA NIMBYs to try and convince people that LA doesn't need more housing--which for the record it obviously does.

For a state this large in area and populous, you would expect more decentralization, especially since the water situation is more forgiving up north, not to mention Sacramento and Bay Area were far more established urban regions in the first several decades of CA's history. DFW and Houston both have 7~8 million each, and each accounts for just ~25% of Texas. Greater Miami accounts for just 27% of Florida.
