None of this is true. CA spends much less than the NE Corridor on transit. And relative transit expenditures have basically nothing to do with population growth.
LA is barely growing, BTW, and has fast-declining transit ridership.
That said, CA should be lauded for being very aggressive re. transit expansion. So far, it has yet to bear fruit, but I think it's the right move given their congestion issues.
