No, the lack of supply was intentionally created to stop "the demand issue", by which they meant "other people having children". And California certainly doesn't produce enough houses for even their own children; talk to any suburban boomer and they'll tell you 1. their kids have moved out of state and 2. their kids don't deserve to live near them and had better become millionaires first.
