You deliberately ignore apartments and multi family housing units.
Let's say population in CA and TX is now 100 million people... by your stupid logic, this has no impact on the price of renting or home ownership
Let's say the population is 1 trillion people... by your dumb logic, housing market works at 1 person and 1 trillion people
given that there is quite a bit of land, if the population naturally moved up to 1 trillion, I don't think housing would be more expensive.
You might argue that "naturally" is doing a lot of work here.
I will concede that if the population changed dramatically in a very short period of time, we would have distortions of price. But immigration has been an ongoing phenomenon over the last several centuries and I don't believe that the market has been unable to adjust to it.

several centuries
USA is 249 year old
I don't consider 2.5 centuries "several"
Now you are making up words and their definitions
