California does an outstanding job at Coastal Protection, I don't believe any state has such an extensive network of Coastal parks and the like.

I don't think CA should follow FL in building thousands of High-rises up and down the coast, but density is key and the inland cities should be allowed to have well planned, high density, high rise clusters. There is absolutely no reason Oakland shouldn't have more high rise development. Same goes for San Jose and all other slightly inland, high cost areas. It's economics.
