Texas because it never went up that much during the boom.

Texas didn't have the boom and bust in prices yes and they had strict laws on cash out refinances there as well

Houses did OK in Texas because Texas hasn't lost as many jobs as other states.

Nonsense -- housing did okay in Texas because it never went up that much during the boom. Last I checked, housing prices in Houston haven't recovered from the 80s bust, adjusted for inflation.

Thomas Sowell talks quite a bit about the price of housing in Calif being higher because of gov't meddling. Rent control, regulations, cost of permits, etc

Depends on where in California, but that's probably accurate. Prop 13 is a big one, and that saves people on property taxes, but probably serves to make property prices higher since no one wants to sell. There are also lots of artificial constraints on land use in many areas. There is plenty of land in CA, particularly in the Bay Area, but you aren't allowed to build on a lot of it.
