On April 23, the Schar Faculty of Coverage and Authorities at George Mason College will maintain an occasion on “Solving the Nation’s Housing Shortage.” I can be talking together with economist Bryan Caplan (George Mason College), creator of Construct, Child, Construct: The Science and Ethics of Housing, and Jerry Howard, former Director of the Nationwide Affiliation of Residence Builders. Bryan will focus on his e book, which addresses the causes of the housing disaster, and potential options. I’ll talk about how exclusionary zoning—essentially the most important explanation for our housing scarcity—violates the Takings Clause of the Fifth Modification, and the way judicial evaluation might help deal with the issue. These points are coated in larger element in my forthcoming Texas Legislation Evaluate article on exclusionary zoning (coauthored with Josh Braver).
The occasion is free and open to the general public. Right here is the time and deal with:
12-1 PM, Schar Faculty of Coverage and Authorities, George Mason College, Van Metre Corridor, Rm. 111, 3351 Fairfax Dr., Arlington, VA
