I don't understand why you guys are still discussing oceanside high-rises. Upzoning along the ocean wouldn't really alleviate California's housing crisis that much, because a ton of the units would be snagged by investors and/or rich people for part-time homes. Plus usually the oceanside is not the most convenient place when it comes to commutes to major job anchors - certainly not when considering transit.
The places California most needs upzoning are strip malls, the dinky little one-story "walkable business districts" with no apartments above, and neighborhoods full of dated ranches immediately adjacent to major employers. Plus land near transit in general.
