Compendium of Bryan Caplan's Guest-blogging Posts on His New Book "Build, Baby, Build: The Science and Ethics of Housing Regulation"
A listing of his four posts on different aspects of the book and the issues it raises.
Bryan Caplan's guest-blogging stint has come to an end. We thank Bryan for his excellent contributions to the blog!
Here is a listing of his posts about his book Build, Baby, Build: The Science and Ethics of Housing Regulation. I myself also wrote a post introducing Bryan and the book.
1."Trillions"
2. "*Build, Baby, Build*: My Most Inexcusable Omission"
3. "The YIMBY Napkin"
4. "*Build, Baby, Build*: Responses to the Best Objections"
I think my forthcoming Texas Law Review article, "The Constitutional Case Against Exclusionary Zoning" (coauthored with Josh Braver), in some ways serves as a complement to Bryan's book. In the book, Bryan suggests that judicial review is "probably the best shot [at] radical housing deregulation," but doesn't elaborate further. Braver and I explain how such judicial intervention can happen, and why it should be done.
