> Are angry homeowners overthrowing governments and blocking homebuilding?

No, they're already in the government, have been for decades, and they're the ones responsible for anti-development policy.

> For example, re Texas, 9 out of 10 say housing prices are too high

Cute punchy polls like that make for nice sound bits, but don't tell the whole story. I'm sure if you followed that up with, "If the government were to enact new housing development property that would reduce the value of your home by 20% over the next 10 years, would you support it?", I guarantee you that 9 out of 10 (homeowners) would absolutely not.
