You really think all NIMBYs are white? Not my experience.

This article is correct. Not many people appreciate the degree to which housing impacts economic growth, innovation, and personal development. Housing is about the closest thing to a "theory of everything" that is wrong in much of the "developed" world.

The solution is to ease zoning regulations, perhaps by adopting form-based codes instead of Euclidean zoning, and taxing land values instead of property values, as I discussed at length here: https://www.lianeon.org/p/the-housing-theory-of-everything
