Paywall, so I only have access to the headline:

In California, About the Only Way to Get a House Is to Inherit One
Nearly one out of every five property transfers last year was made through inheritance, a record for the state and double the national share

There does seem to be a bit of a disconnect between, "the only way" and "one in five"

And this comment from Arpit Gupta:
"California has reinvented feudalism from first principles"
