Luxury just means new. Prices are high because supply is low.
dicomdan··on State Farm halts new property insurance policies in California
I believe OP was sarcastic in their comment about California nationalizing industries and making fees based on equity. In particular the "population boom thundering on" was quite obvious sarcasm, given that California has been in a steady decline.
