    This episode explores the distribution of powers within New Jersey Government and presents the attempt of the Supreme Court to justify ignoring the constitutional constraints explicit in the Constitution. We also point to the proper roles of both the Legislature and the public in forging a strong public consensus that will support needed legislative action.

    Beyond the Mt. Laurel Doctrine (In Brief) From Forty Years of Failure to A Blueprint for Sucess

    This episode directly confronts the idea of a "constitutional obligation" to provide affordable housing, demonstrating beyond any doubt that there is no constitutional basis in the words of the Supreme Court itself. This doesn't deny the need for housing but does demonstrate the lack of judicial authority to order it when they did.

    Beyond the Mt. Laurel Doctrine (In Brief) From Forty Years of Failure To A Blueprint For Success

    This episode takes on the idea of "exclusionary zoning" and shows that, while it sounds like something bad, it has no connection to reality. Zoning doesn't control groups of people. It only controls the development of buildings and land. We show that the cost of housing has no connection to zoning and it's really location that shapes the housing market. "Exclusionary zoning" is really just a rhetorical device to support putting price controls int the housing market.

We provide some historical context and reveal some of the most extraordinary miscalculations of housing and future population growth you can find anywhere that prove the Housing Crisis never happened. We also talk about the uncertain aspects of the future demand for housing and the greatest need today which is patience.
