A deep reporting of anti-growth tactics that have been used by local governments that have lead to the housing crisis happening today. When population increases as people move to an area, lack of housing construction will lead to a shortage. Sounds simple, but it isn't. There are lots of forces at work and Dougherty covers many in this book. I was fascinated from page one and never knew zoning could be so interesting. Great for public policy nerds, activists, and those interested in the economics of housing and unintended consequences that result from policy and values of a variety of communities. I listened to the audio book that is read perfectly by the author.
