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.
