Housing Supply Limits examines how zoning restrictions and building constraints contribute to skyrocketing housing prices and limited availability. It explores the economic and political factors that artificially limit housing supply, impacting individuals, families, and the broader economy.

Did you know that single-family zoning, often rooted in historical planning, can inadvertently stifle innovation, limiting housing options? Or that lengthy permitting processes significantly delay housing development, adding costs and exacerbating existing shortages?

The book progresses from fundamental economic principles to dissecting zoning regulations and building constraints. It analyzes the economic consequences of these restrictions, such as wealth inequality, and then explores potential policy solutions.

By using real-world examples and data-driven assessments, the book argues that reforming these policies is essential for increasing housing supply and promoting economic opportunity. It explains the impact of density restrictions and height limits on housing affordability.

Ultimately, Housing Supply Limits offers a balanced analysis of a complex issue, making it a valuable resource for policymakers, urban planners, real estate professionals, and concerned citizens seeking to understand and address the housing crisis. The book's approach, blending economic modeling, case studies, and legal analysis, provides a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between housing supply, housing affordability, and public policy.
