Government Land Policy & YIMBY together for Affordable Housing

Doublewide Dudes

This week, we chat with Anthony Flint of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy.
We discuss how government land policies can artificially restrict land usage limiting
density and therefore leading to artificial inflation of land values. Not only does it lead
to skyrocketing housing costs, but a smaller tax base, underutilization of space, and
greenhouse gases contributing to climate change.
We also talk a bit about the YIMBY (Yes, In My Back Yard) movement, and how it
takes concerned citizens to help shape government policy. Is there too much
government interference? Mr. Flint has an interesting insight into that as well.
