On April 23, the Schar Faculty of Coverage and Authorities at George Mason College will maintain an occasion on “Fixing the Nation’s Housing Scarcity.” I might be talking together with economist Bryan Caplan (George Mason College), writer of Build, Baby, Build: The Science and Ethics of Housing, and Jerry Howard, former Director of the Nationwide Affiliation of House Builders. Bryan will talk about his e book, which addresses the causes of the housing disaster, and potential options. I’ll discuss how exclusionary zoning—probably the most vital reason behind our housing scarcity—violates the Takings Clause of the Fifth Modification, and the way judicial evaluate can assist deal with the issue. These points are coated in larger element in my forthcoming Texas Law Review 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
